In return for financial assistance from the Parish, the name of a local street was to be used in the club name. Hence Leicester Avenue spawned the name Leicester Celtic. One of the most famous players to play for Leicester Celtic is Damien Duff, the Irish international footballer. Richard Sadlier, Eric Miller and David Gillick also lined out for the soccer club.
