The Irish name 'Costello' was derived from the Spanish name 'Castillo'
due to the wreck of the Spanish Armada off Ireland's West Coast back in the 1500's
where the survivors scrambled to shore & intermingled with the local indigenous population...
Bit of a history lesson...
I thought this was a footy site!!!!
