Burke's Undertakers

Burke's Undertakers

Burke’s Undertakers was a U.S. soccer team established in St. Louis, Missouri in 1935. It spent four seasons in the St. Louis Soccer League, winning two league titles before the league collapsed in 1939.

History

Prior to the 1935 season Burke's was called Spanish Sports Club and played in the St. Louis Municipal League. In 1935, the team moved to the professional St. Louis Soccer League, replacing the St. Louis Shamrocks who moved down. The move to the SLSL also brought the club the sponsorship of Burke's Funeral Home. They won the league title both that first season and the next year before collapsing to the bottom of the standings the next two season. In 1939, the SLSL collapsed.
