Townsville Kern United is the predecessor of the current North Queensland Football Federation (NQFF) State Premier League team, the North Queensland Razorbacks.
Townsville Kern United enjoyed much success in the state competition during the 1980s, producing much local talent. This is often considered the glory days of football in North Queensland, where each home game attracted attendances of up to 10,000 spectators at the Townsville Sports Reserve.
Townsville Kern United also managed to attract several high profile players, such as Paul Wormley, who had previously played professional football in England for Barnsley.
Famous quotes containing the word united:
“... when we shall have our amendment to the Constitution of the United States, everyone will think it was always so, just exactly as many young people believe that all the privileges, all the freedom, all the enjoyments which woman now possesses were always hers. They have no idea of how every single inch of ground that she stands upon to-day has been gained by the hard work of some little handful of women of the past.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
