Dengo United

Dengo United are a Sunday League Football Club based in the Croxteth area of Liverpool. We were established in 1968 and have been a member of the Liverpool & District Sunday League for the duration. The team name existed as an inter-departmental team which played in the annual football competition in the now defunct Automatic Telephone and Electric Company. The name was created as an anagram of D for Drawing Office and ENG for ENGineering Office with United bringing the two together.
