Club History

A Brief History of Adswood United Football Club

We first entered the Stockport District Sunday Football League in Division 5 in 1966 under the management of Albert Hill and Harry Weaver.

Gaining promotion year after year until we reached the old first division under another management team of Len Pavey and Eddie Burgess.

A second team was added in 1970 managed by the highly respected ex first team player Harry Bannard.

Since these first steps in the Stockport District Sunday Football League there has been a number of Managers: Alan, Pavey, Billy Wood, John Mannion, Peter Pavey, Kenny Tait, Tim Burke, John Smith, John Brooks, Steve Cunningham and now Nathan Downes and Aaron Hester 

In the early nineties a third team was added and although we only have one senior team at present the junior Section is going from strength to strength and year we continue to grow what we hope will be  the senior teams of the future.

We have added some documents/pictures from out archivesincluding the minutes from the first club meeting.

We are always on the look it for additional memorabilia so please do get in touch if you have anything to share at aufc1966@outlook.com .

Kind regards

Tim Burke

Chairman

 

 

This shirt was part of the kit worn by Portugal for training at what is now Cheadle Town, during the World Cup in 1966. After the tournament the kit was donated to Adswood United in our inaugural year.

This shirt was proudly worn by an Adswood United legend and life member Brian Hall. Adswood United in still very dear to Brians heart and he recently passed on lots of documents to us which are now on the website. So, a massive thank you to Brian.

If there is anybody out there who has pictures or programmes about Adswood United, please get in touch at info@adswoodunitedfc.co.uk and we will aim to post them on our website.
