History[edit | edit source]
The Northrock United Lumber Organization founded a football club in 1918 to compete in the New Liverpool Regional Division. Northrock United eventually joined the Slokasian Football League in 1925, being one of its founding members. In 1929, Northrock purchased the rights to Goodhope Road, the home ground of rivals New Liverpool FC, this incident led to the historic rival known as the New Liverpool Derby or the "El Gran Derby". Northrock became one of the most well-funded teams during the 1930s and 40s leading to over 14 league titles in 20 years. In 1956, the government purchased the club and renamed it "Red Star New Liverpool". In 1970, Northrock United resumed operations under private ownership of the Northrock Development Group, NDP was largely credited with the club's turn into a successful club with both national and international success and the development of Slokais's best young players. In 1997, SunTech bought the club and proceeded to push the creation of a separate top-flight of 10 teams. That league being the SPL, which began play in 1999-2000. In the 2000s and 2010s, Northrock shared the top of the table with San Fernando FC, in 2017 The club was deducted 20 points after overspending the league salary cap and violating transfer regulations, despite this Northrock finished in 10th place. Northrock survived via a last-minute goal by Jerome Miguelez, with Miguelez becoming a club legend in one of the most iconic moments in Slokasian football history.
