Unifix XI are an English football club based in Exeter, Devon. They are notable for having an enviable 100% winning record, although this is only due to them only ever playing, and winning, one game. Unifix XI are not affiliated to any one league, professional or amateur, yet a few of their players do play for other teams which are.
Several of the players have also played under the name of Diamond Blades and Team Topgun which have competed in the prestigious Peggy Cup over the last three years. In 2008, they got all the way to the final against all odds, with three goals apiece in the competition for Philip Hosking and Simon Westwood. They won their semi-final in a penalty shoot-out thanks to Mark Priddle coolly slotting the winning kick and a titanic performance from goalkeeper Simon Pantony, who saved all the spot kicks he faced. They narrowly lost 1-0 in the final, despite having the better of the game.
The team's colours are blue shirts with black shorts and black socks. They are sponsored by the Choughs Hotel.
The only match Unifix XI have played was a charity match against Chard Rangers at Jocelyn Park, Chard, on 17 July 2008 on behalf of the deafblind charity Sense. Unifix XI won 2-1 thanks to two first-half goals from Philip Hosking. Although Chard Rangers pulled one back near the end of the second half, after two-goal hero Hosking was sent-off for dissent, Unifix XI had many more chances and could have won the match with a larger goal difference if it weren't for some poor striking at times.
Unifix XI captain Michael McFadyen was voted man of the match by his fellow team mates for his hard work and attitude over the course of the game. Prior to the match, eleven of the Unifix XI players posed for a reënactment of the famous photograph taken of the England team after winning the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
