Welcome to the official Tekken City wiki

This wiki is the best known area to find out about Tekken City Football Club. This wiki covers every stat of every game played, Including the Premiership, FA Cup, Champions League and the League Cup, as well as Pre-Season friendly matches.

History

How it all began

Believe it or not, this football club was re-formed by the Mishima Zaibatsu Empire in 1994 by Heihachi Mishima, before then, the club was known as "Namco FC" for centuries. Now the club gets it's name from the famous King of Iron Fist Tournament, which pits some of the best martial art fighters against each other. But this how everything really started

A worldwide martial arts tournament was nearing its finale. A large purse of prize money which was to be awarded to the fighter who could defeat Heihachi Mishima in the final round provided incentive for warriors from all over the globe.

Financed and sponsored by the giant financial groups, the Mishima Zaibatsu, the first Tekken tournament began with eight fighters, all of whom had emerged victorious in death matches held all over the world, all motivated by different motives, all possessing the skill and power to crumble mountains.

Many battles were fought. But only one lone warrior emerged with the right to challenge Heihachi Mishima for the of King of the Iron Fists.This warrior was Kazuya (current owner of Tekken City), Heihachi's cold blooded son. Bearing the scar given to him by Heihachi, he entered into vicious combat with his father on the same field where Heihachi last struck down his own son and dropped him into a trench at age five.

After a grueling battle which raged on for hours, Kazuya emerged victorious by utilizing the skills which had been passed down from generation to generation of the Mishima clan.

As Heihachi's broken body lay on the ground, Kazuya dropped to his knees and slowly lifted his father into his arms. Walked slowly to the edge of the same cliff where his father had left him to die, stared out over the landscape of all that was now his, and let go of his father's body. As Heihachi's body plummeted, Kazuya's smile gleamed in the sunlight...

One year had passed. The Mishima Zaibatsu under Kazuya's leadership has become even more powerful with its tendrils reaching to all corners of the world. Soon after his father's apparent death, Kazuya disappeared into the shadows. However, rumors of his immense power, and a dark side, slowly begin to spread throughout the world.

The King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 Drawed to a close. Jun Kazama came to the stunning realization that Kazuya's supernatural strength stemed from Devil. But she couldn't help being drawn to him, propelled by a mystic force beyond her control. Several days later, the final challenger arrived to face Kazuya, the organizer of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2. In a reprise of the first Tekken Tournament, the father and son clashed in a cursed blood battle. Eventually, Heihachi emerged scarred but victorious to regain control of the immense Mishima Conglomerate. Unaware of Devil's presence, Heihachi casted the lifeless Kazuya into a fiery volcano.

As Kazuya's body burned, the Devil appeared before the pregnant Jun Kazama in a bid to enter the soul of the new life beating within her. But in a desperate struggle for the future of her child, Jun defeated Devil and retired to desolate Yakushima so as to raise Kazuya's son, Jin by herself.

How the club was formed

Having regained control of the Mishima Conglomerate, Heihachi set about to further increase his powers. He decided to embark on a crusade to win the trust of world leaders by putting wars and conflicts to rest. Using his immeasurable wealth, he invested into the well known English club, "Namco FC" and renamed it after the Tekkenshu Coorperation. a press concerence was held between Namco FC's chairman Derick Newell and Heihachi, confirming that the club had been taken over, and that the name would officially become changed from Namco FC to Tekken City. The new emblem of the team would consist of a bird of prey, coloured in purple. The striking colour of purple represented the colour of the Mishima Zaibatsu, while the bird represented valour and courage within the coorperation, in hopes that the team would become successfull in the forthcoming years.

In Tekken City's first season under the Mishima Zaibatsu in 1994, Heihachi sent letters to some of the male fighters from the previous Tekken tournaments, asking them to join the club in order to raise the stakes, so that both the Mishima empire and the Mishima clan would be much richer from the premises. Players who were currently with the club before Heihachi invested were Kevin Pressman, Stephen Hibbert, Luigi Mario, Nigel Spackman, Paul Barclay, David McDermott, Chris Lacey, and Barry Nowell.

Jun Kazama, who gave birth after the club had been announced, was suprisingly also offered the chance to join the Tekken City team, but she thought that it was a bad idea to raise her son in a media- frenzy country, so she decided to move to Spain, where at the time, was very quiet and friendly with an atmospheric culture. Being the more competitive in her interest for the game however, she joined Real Madrid in order to get some taste for the game.

History Under the Mishima Empire

Tekken City in the 1995-1996 season, finished 3rd behind Newcastle United and Manchester United in the English Premiership, just pipping Arsenal and Liverpool for the European Cup Leagues spot on goal difference. Tekken City also won the FA Cup for only it's second time since 1989, thrashing Liverpool 4-1 at Wembley in the Final. Heihachi thought that this was a superb position to be in and injected more of his wealth into the club. With this the transfer window was opened by UEFA, and In August 1997, Tekken City signed Dutch striker, Chris Spears from Italian side, S.S. Lazio for £10.5m after the departure of the club's prized Nigerian top goalscorer, Rashidi Yekini, who retired after the 1996 season at the age of 33. Jun Kazama also signed for the club from Real Madrid for £11 million. Nigel Spackman, who joined from Chelsea on a free at the start of that season however, retired from the game at 37 and Stephen Hibbert left to join Wolverhampton Wanderers on a free transfer.

The start of the 1996-97 season proved to be very positive, as the newly assigned Chris Spears, only 18 made his debut against Derby County coming off from the bench in the second half but not scoring. He set up Tekken's only goal of the game, which they won 1-0. The second game was a tough for Tekken City, taking out Manchester United. And they did just that, with the new players in Chris Spears and Jun Kazama scoring in a 2-0 victory. The club in that season finished 3rd again, behind Arsenal and Manchester United, finishing on a total of 73 points. They also dominated Europe by successfully winning the UEFA Cup Leagues with a 2-1 win over French side, Stade Brestrois 29.

The following seasons however, saw a change to the system of the English tournament. Instead of the Premiership, and lower leagues where all the English teams were split up into different divisions, all teams were pitted up against each other. The league was like a ladder, whereby the team who successfully wins a set of matches or gets as many points as possible, plays a bigger squad than the teams played previously. Each team however does not play every team. They have a series of 54 games, and whoever gains the most points, wins the tournament. This league, respectively was known as the "Kins Cup".

In this tournament, Tekken City won the first Kins Cup, pipping Arsenal by 5 points at the top of the table, but the season after that, saw Chelsea winning it by 10 clear points from the team in second, which were Liverpool, and Tekken City finished 4th behind their created team rivals, Traps United, who finished third. Still however, the club dominated the Cup Leagues with fantastic final wins over Borussia Dortmund and Fiorentina.

The Kins Cup however, was abolished by the FA two years later because they believed that the tournament held was not competitive enough, and that revenues for the clubs due to the number of fans attending every match was very low, so the Premiership and the other leagues returned to English football. Also, because Tekken City had dominated the Cup Leagues in 4 successive seasons, champions status in the Cup Leagues in the current season, would give the club an automatic place into the Champions League. It just so happened that it was the final game of the Cup Leagues, where a victory over Ukranian side, Zakarpattia Uzhhorod, would give them enough points to win the league. Tekken successfully disposed of the Ukrainian side, with an impressive 5-0 scoreline, with Chris Spears scoring a hat-trick, and Tekken were, for the fifth year running, Champions of the Cup Leagues, and won the chance to play Champions League Football the next year.

With great success, Tekken City, in it's first trial, won the tournament, beating FC Barcelona 2-1 in the final.

2001-2002 Season

The 2001-2002 season proved to be an illustrious but intriguing way to set up the season. Tekken City's second Champions League campaign was to commence immediately after the Premiership.

One of the major incidents during the 2001-02 season however was the bust-up between Chris Spears and then-Ipswich Town defender, Jamie Clapham. In a game, which Ipswich had won 3-2, Tekken had just levelled to make it 2-2 in the game through a Spears goal, when the two players collided in a hurrendous foul incident, immediately after this they both started fighting and tugging at each other's shirts. Clapham the offender and conductor of the fight, was red-carded and sent off. Spears on the other hand was given a yellow card, but it happened to be his tenth of the season, and he was banned for the next league game against Leicester City. Maxi van Baxer, who replaced him in the starting line-up, scored 2 goals in the game as they beat them 4-3. They ended the season in 5th place, but on a positive note. Beating Chelsea 2-0 at Mill Hill Park. Chris Spears and Kasumi Gudjohansson with the goals.

Tekken City lost 2-0 in the FA Cup Final against Manchester United at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Midfielders Paul Scholes and Juan Sebastian Veron scored two late goals to seal the Cup for the Red Devils.

At the beginning of the second group stage of the 2001-2002 Champions League, Tekken City had FC Nantes, Roma, and Dynamo Kyiv in their group. The topped it with Roma going through in second place. Their biggest win was the opening game against Dynamo Kyiv where they won 5-0. They would make it to the final of the competition, where they would defeat S.S. Lazio 1-0, due to one of Chris Spears' memorial Final goals of all time. Tekken City had won their 3rd successive European title with the win, and their 2nd under Sid Gribbon's management.

2002-2003 Season

The 2002-2003 season saw Tekken City lose their Champions League crown at the hands of Real Madrid in the semi-finals. The first leg at Mill Hill Park saw a 0-0 draw, a game which would see the Buzzards draw blank at home for the first time since starting the Competition, and the second leg, played at the Bernabeu, goals from Raul, and then Ronaldo sealed Tekken's fate as they crashed out of Europe, losing 2-1 on aggregate, and losing the Champions League title. Kasumi Gudjohansson had equalised for Tekken before Ronaldo scored in the final few minutes.

Tekken however, triumphed in the FA Cup, despite having lost it last season to Manchester United. They took on Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium, and had to come from behind to win 2-1. Thierry Henry scored from a corner kick in the first half. Then right on the stroke of half time, Sam Lacey scored with a right-root drill across goal, having been set up by Chris Spears. The goal turned out to be Lacey's last goal he would score before the following summer, he would complete a £12 million move to Desert Storm

Chris Spears scored Tekken's 2nd goal of the game, and won his club the FA Cup.

2003-2004 Season

During the summer of 2003, a host of signings were made by Tekken City. Sid Gribbon was able to prize Lúcio away from Bayer Leverkusen for £8 million, while the likes of Bayern Munich midfielder Niko Kovac, Edison Mendez from Deportivo Quito, Hidetoshi Nakata from Italian club AC Parma, Traps United's Steve Wood and the club's only registered Australian player in its history, Tony Vidmar, who had been released from Rangers in the previous season. This wasn't the only major signing of the summer, the club were able to finally complete their new Stadium known as The Oval Stadium. The club had ended playing their home games at Mill Hill Park to move to the new 81,000 seater stadium. Niko Kovac, one of Tekken City's new signings scored the very first goal at the stadium against Portsmouth, when he lobbed the ball from outside the penalty box, beating then Portsmouth keeper Shaka Hislop. Tekken ended up winning the match 3-2, adding two wins to their name following a equally contested 2-1 victory against Leeds United at Elland Road.

Tekken, during the season, suffered one of its more forgetful results in the league on Boxing Day. Manchester City, having previously been beaten by the Buzzards 6-2 in the last season, planted revenge in style with a returning 5-2 win. The game saw Steve McManaman score a first minute volley, while goals from Antione Sibierski gave Tekken a night to forget.
