History
Season 28
Tykkimiehet FC was founded 12.1.2006, when there was season 28 ongoing in Finland. Tykkimiehet arrived to it's league, IX.175, after one game. Tykkimiehet finished sixth on it's first season.
Season 29
Though the team was only sixth in it's league last season, it promoted to eighth division to a league named VIII.1130. The team had improved a lot from it's starting season and finished third.
Season 30
On season 30 Tykkimiehet tried to promote to seventh division. After long battling against other teams, Tykkimiehet finished only second and failed to promote. Fans almost got bored to hanging in same league for so long, but the future seemed better...
Season 31
Finally on season 31 Tykärit managed to promote to seventh division after exciting matches.
Season 32
First, Tykkimiehet tried to just avoid the relegation and maybe reach bit more higher, but with a great surprise, Tykkimiehet won the championship and promoted immediately to sixth division. Many new players had bought and when the next season started, the team was ready to face the first big challenge in sixth division.
Season 33
The Club accomplished it's minimum objective and stayed clear out of the relegation. Tykkimiehet finished fifth place in a league called VI.604.
Season 34
Second season in VI.604 was harder than the first: there wasnt't a clearly weaker team and a bot team like last season. Still Tykkimiehet stayed in it's league and finished sixth.
Season 35
The Club finished sixth again, but the place in the league was bit clear already, because there were two bot teams. Tykkimiehet failed to climb up higher.
Season 36 (ongoing)
The current season looks better than previous seasons: There are two bot teams and only one team is clearly better. So now The Club tries to finish even third, maybe for fourth.

Hall of Fame Players
Tykkimiehet FC has an own Hall of Fame, where some retired TFC legends may come after their career. There are currently seven players in Hall of Fame, one of them being a former coach.
- Paavo Heiskanen
Heiskanen was the first player of Tykkimiehet that got promoted to the Hall of Fame. He started his career in Tykkimiehet and never went to another club. On first seasons of Tykkimiehet, Heiskanen was a vital link in the team's defence. He also made some great goals, usually with his head.
- Jori Pöntinen
Pöntinen retired and went to Hall of Fame a day after Paavo Heiskanen. Pöntinen also played as a defender, usually as a full-back. He scored lots of goals despite his position and was one of the fan's favourites.
- Petri Laru
Laru wasn't great player, but still almost the best of the best: Laru is known as a very "funny" person and did things like selling Hot-Dogs during the game, being in the line-up at the same time! Even opponent team's fans clapped, or laughed, to him when the line-up was announced before the game. Nowadays he doesn't play at all (Thank God!) but sells Hot-Dogs near the pitch.
