Villarreal fulfilled their dream of promotion to third división in the year 1967. Those were the days when The Beatles were riding high on the crest of their international fame and in which Los Mustangs were enjoying the fruits of their great success after releasing an album of cover versions.
On the day of their promotion, the city of Villarreal exploded with happiness in a huge party whose soundtrack was the Spanish version of ‘Yellow Submarine’. Due to the fact of the yellow of the team’s colours and to the energy they displayed each season, Villareal took on the name of The Beatles’ famous song.
