Staines Town
Club History
LOCATION: Staines is the chief town of the borough of Spelthorne in Surrey, beside Heathrow Airport. The area
has been inhabited since the earliest �mes: evidence of an iron-age se�lement has been found on the Church
Lammas at Yeoveney, and there was a wooden ‘henge’ at Stanwell. At the beginning of the last century it was
regarded as something of a genteel resort town, on the banks of the Thames. For more than a century, the town
was synonymous with the manufacture of linoleum, with other industries including car manufacture, milling,
brewing and farming. For a while, Staines even had its own authen�c banknotes. Nowadays, it is primarily
residen�al, with a number of businesses related to the nearby airport. It was Britain’s worst air accident that led
to Staines hi�ng the headlines for tragic and unwanted reasons in 1972. More recently, the town has become
best known in entertainment circles, through the rock band Hard-Fi, and the (fic�onal) Ali G. The Club was deeply
saddened on the opening day of the 2011/12 season by the passing of Alan Boon, who had served as Chairman
for most of the past 30 years.
FORMATIONS, MERGERS, & NAMES: The origins and early history of the Club are very obscure. Football may have
begun in Staines as far back as the 1870s: a team called St Peter’s Ins�tute took part in the FA Cup in 1879 although
it now seems more likely that this was a different, London-based club with the same name as one in Staines. A
Staines FC was definitely in the Surrey Cup soon a�erwards, but 1892 is the accepted date of forma�on of the
present Staines Town club, possibly springing from the Staines Rovers FC of a decade earlier. In 1895, “Town”
merged with St Peter’s Ins�tute. Various local honours were won under the names of Staines FC and Staines
Albany FC, but the Club was badly affected by WW1, with the town’s biggest factories switching to war work.
Teams like Staines Projec�le and Lagonda United kept Staines’ football alive, and it was as Staines Lagonda,
some�mes called Lagonda (Staines), that the Club re-emerged once peace was restored. In 1925, in an a�empt
to gain popularity, the name was changed from that of the famous car-makers to Staines Town, but this proved to
be the start of a 10 year decline which ended with a cessa�on of ac�vi�es in 1935 a�er failing to arrange a merger
with other local clubs. The Club revived towards the end of WW2, as Staines Vale, soon rever�ng to Staines Town.
A Thames-side loca�on gives rise to the “Swans” nickname. On 1 November 2011, the Club became a limited
company.
The Club underwent a major series of changes during the summer of 2018, beginning with the standing down
of Chairman Ma� Boon, bringing to a close some 30 years of his family being at the helm, to be replaced by new
owners Joe Dixon – ini�ally with Paul Jaszynski as CEO. They appointed a new manager, who recruited a new
squad to compete, for the first �me, in the Southern League Premier South following the latest pyramid
reorganisa�on. There was even a new “playing logo” launched to be used alongside the Club’s tradi�onal crest.
It proved a disastrous season, with a string of managerial changes and a revolving door of players, but the Club has
taken steps to restore stability with Anthony Gale’s arrival, and a return to the Isthmian fold, albeit in a lower
division.

GROUNDS: It is known that Staines Rovers began at Lord’s Field near the Crooked Billet, and St Peter’s Ins�tute
played at Edgell Road. At the turn of the century, Staines probably played at The Lammas, and then moved,
possibly to Shortwood Common, where Staines Ivydene FC had its home. In the heyday between the wars, they
were based at Mill Mead (also called Hammonds’, Wicks’s, or Purser’s Farm). Despite sharing it with Staines
Athle�c for a �me in the early ‘30s, the Club could not pay the rent a�er 1935, so they sold the stand and le� the
ground, comple�ng the season by playing away. Staines Vale had temporary homes at Mo�’s Field (Commercial
Road), Staines Greyhound Stadium (Wraysbury Road), and The Broadway (Laleham, now the home of Staines
Lammas FC), before the purchase of Wheatsheaf Lane in 1951. Chertsey Town’s Alwyns Lane was used in 1996-8
during abor�ve a�empts to move; eventually Wheatsheaf Lane was improved in line with league requirements.
Having lobbied Spelthorne Council on and off for 20 years, planning permission for a £6½M conference and health
facility was granted in April 2000, and finalised a year later. During construc�on, Staines played at Walton &
Hersham’s Stompond Lane (2001/2) and Egham Town’s Runnymede Stadium (2002/3) before the return to
Wheatsheaf Park on 22 February 2003. The new-look ground has staged a number of important matches,
including three na�onal cup finals (Bri�sh Colleges U19s and FA Women’s Premier Reserve League), three Under
17 interna�onal matches, the Isthmian League Cup, and Middlesex Senior Cup, and an FA Women’s Cup Semi-
Final. In 2009, it staged its first full interna�onal fixture, a Women’s match between Iceland and Denmark, and
from 2011 to 2017 staged FA Women’s Super League and some FA Youth Cup games for Chelsea, including their
first UEFA Women’s Champions’ League �e in October 2015. Much of the credit for these pres�gious games goes
to Graham Gould, who was FA Non League Groundsman of the Year in 2015, but sadly passed away on the day of
Chelsea’s final game at Staines at the end of May 2017.
LEAGUES: The Club played in – and won – several local leagues before joining the Great Western Suburban League
in 1905. Two years later they moved into the Great Western Combina�on. The Projec�le and Lagonda clubs
competed in the London Works League and Muni�ons League during WW1, and in 1919 Staines Lagonda joined
the Hounslow & District League. They reverted to the Great Western Suburban League a�er one season, and won
the Middlesex Division 2 at the first a�empt, to return to Division 1. Runners-up in 1924, they then moved up to
the Spartan League Division 1, which became the Premier Division in 1929/30. The end of that season saw Staines
relegated to Division 1, where they remained un�l resigning in 1935. In 1943, Staines Vale were admi�ed to the
Middlesex Senior League, which became the Parthenon League in 1951. Two years later, the Club was a founder
member of the Hellenic League, and were runners-up in 1956. Another switch came in 1958, when Spartan
League membership was renewed, and the championship was li�ed in 1960. A�er finishing 2nd in 1971, Staines
Town advanced to the Athenian League, and won Division 2 with record points at the first a�empt. A Division 2
runners-up spot in 1973 earnt a place in the Premier Division, but this was never accepted as the Club was elected
to the new Rothmans Isthmian League Division 1 (called Division 2 up to 1977). At the second a�empt, Staines
were champions, gaining promo�on to the top division. The best placing achieved was 4th, but in 1984 the Club

was demoted on a ground grading technicality. However, in 1989, Division 1 was won again, only for Premier
Division status to be lost in 1993 with a first relega�on for 63 years. Third place ensured a return to the Premier
in 1996, but this was to last only one season. With the reorganisa�on of summer 2002, Staines played in Division
1 South, but by securing 6th place on the last day of season 2003/4, they gained inclusion in the Premier Division
for 2004/5. Season 2007/8 saw Staines achieve their best-ever Isthmian placing, finishing runners-up to
Chelmsford City: they reached the Play-Off Final, in which a first half lead over AFC Wimbledon controversially
disappeared in the final 8 minutes. They were also top scorers in the division, and fielded Golden Boot winner
Mark Nwokeji, who moved up to League Two club Dagenham & Redbridge in the close-season. However,
comple�ng the job in 2009, the Swans again finished as runners-up, this �me comfortably so, and duly li�ed the
play-off trophy and with it, promo�on to the Conference South. Manager Steve Cordery stood down hours a�er
the end of Swans’ third campaign at that level, and can proudly reflect on eleva�ng the club from the Isthmian 1
(South), and two gli�ering cup runs. His successor was former Jamaican World Cup player Marcus Gayle, who in
2013/14 guided the Club to match its best ever finish in the Conference (South) with 8th spot. Marcus moved on
a�er 2½ years, and was succeeded by former Bren�ord boss Nicky Forster, who was unable to prevent a drop back
into the Isthmian League. From February 2016 to April 2018, the team was managed by Johnson Hippolyte, but
the following season the Club saw a succession of managers come and go before Anthony Gale’s appointment in
June 2019.
NATIONAL CUP COMPETITIONS: Staines Town had to wait un�l 1984/5 before reaching the First Round Proper of
the FA Cup, and were then unfortunately drawn in one of only three all non-League �es, losing 2-0 at Burton
Albion in front of 4021 people. However, the club sha�ered all its records in 2007/8, reaching the 2nd Round
Proper and bowing out to Peterborough United, a�er defea�ng Stockport County in front of 2860 and live Sky
cameras. A�er wai�ng so long, the Swans returned to the First Round Proper in 2009/10, and won their �e at
Shrewsbury Town, before losing in a replay at Millwall in the Second Round. Reaching the 1st Round again in
2013/14, Staines were rewarded with a ‘plum’ �e at neighbours Bren�ord, but went down 5-0 in front of 5263
people at Griffin Park. Staines were the only Isthmian League club to make it through to the First Round proper
in 2015/16, losing at Leyton Orient. In the FA Amateur Cup, “The Old Lagonda” reached Round 3 (last 16) in
1923/4 but a missed penalty cost them dear in a 2-1 defeat by Wycombe Wanderers at Mill Mead. Two late
goals saw them lose at Barnet in Round 2 a year later. There have been three appearances in the last 32 (2nd
Round Proper) of the FA Trophy, the most drama�c being in 1976/7 when losing to Morecambe in a 2nd replay.
The 3rd Round (new style) was reached in 2000/1, when Staines came within a few minutes of defea�ng holders
Kingstonian, before losing in a replay, and they reached the 4th Round in 2003/4, going out in a controversial
replay against Halifax Town. Season 2013/14 brought another exci�ng �e – and a replay – with non-League
giants Luton Town.
COUNTY CUPS: Staines FC and St Peter’s Ins�tute competed in the London and Surrey Cups in the 1880s, but the
present Club has always played in the Middlesex compe��ons. The Middlesex Junior Cup was won in 1902 and
1904; and in 1910 Staines were Middlesex Senior Cup finalists, losing 4-0 to Shepherd’s Bush. Another defeat
came in 1933, this �me in a replayed final v Barnet (1-1, 1-3), and it was not un�l 1974 that Staines reached the
final again, this �me defea�ng Hendon in a replay. Staines went on to make it three in a row, by bea�ng Enfield
and Hampton in ’75 and ’76. The next victories came in 1988, 1990, 1994, and in 1997, when Staines achieved the
unique dis�nc�on of coupling both the Middlesex Senior and Youth Cups. A�er a 13 year wait, Staines regained
the Senior Cup in 2010, defea�ng Uxbridge 2-0 at Wheatsheaf Park and retained it twelve months later following
an exci�ng ‘odd goal in five’ win over Hayes & Yeading United at Harrow Borough. Marcus Gayle marked his first
season in charge by taking the club to another Senior Cup victory in 2013, this �me against Spelthorne rivals
Ashford Town (Middlesex), and Johnson Hippolyte’s side reached the final in 2017/18. There was also a county
cup double in 1994, as Chris Wainwright’s side li�ed the Middlesex Charity Cup for the only �me, bea�ng
10

Northwood 4-0. In the London Senior Cup, Staines were runners-up in both 1977 and 1981, the earlier final went
to a replay v Wimbledon which The Dons won in their last match as a non-League club.
OTHER CUPS: One of the biggest matches in Staines’ history was in 1975, against Italian Amateur Cup winners
Banco di Roma for the Barassi Cup. A crowd of 70,000 saw Staines win in Rome’s Olympic Stadium, and a record
2,500 saw The Swans complete the job 2-0 at home. With the aid of a late equaliser scored following England’s
last ever kick-in, Staines won the 1995 Carlsberg (Isthmian Full Members’) Cup on penal�es v Boreham Wood.
Staines have li�ed the Southern Combina�on Challenge Cup in 1965, ’67,’95 (by default), and again in 2006,
bea�ng Molesey. Staines were the first winners of the Merthyr-Middlesex Charity Shield in 1990/1, but lost out
when returning to Wales in 1994/5. Further “European” success was achieved with four wins over Spain’s CD
Mijas in the Trofeo El Cañuelo. The Club has also won the inaugural Melksham Middlesex Charity Shield (1998)
and Jim Lawford Memorial Cup (1999). They shared, with Ashford Town (Mx), the first Lord of Ashford Middlesex
Charity Bowl at the start of season 2001/2, and won it outright at the start of 2010/11, along with two other cups
– the Middlesex Super Cup (George Ruffell Shield) and Geoff Harvey Memorial Vase. In pre-season 2013-14 they
recaptured the John Livey Memorial Trophy a�er a 20 year wait, and the inaugural Magna Carta Trophy was won
in 2015, the 800th anniversary of the famous document being signed near the town.
OTHER TEAMS: A�er long and successful terms in the Suburban and Allied Coun�es Leagues, the Reserve and
Youth sides were revived in 2003 with new challenges in the Capital and Southern Youth Leagues. Season
2005/6 saw the Academy side win the Southern Youth League (East) and become runners-up in the ESFA
Na�onal Colleges U18 Trophy, the Middlesex Senior Youth Cup, and the Surrey Colleges Cup, whilst –
masquerading as the Reserve team – they won the Middlesex Premier Cup. In 2007/8 they joined the new
Isthmian Youth League, finishing 2nd and then West Division champions in the first two seasons, and champions
again (as well as Lucas Fe�es Cup finalists) in 2011. In 2012 they made it a remarkable three League �tles in 4
years, and added a fourth in 2013 when also winning Lucas Fe�es Isthmian Youth Cup as well as the Isthmian
Youth League Champions’ Play-Off. Season 2015/16 saw the U18s again complete an Isthmian ‘double’, winning
the Youth League West and the Lucas Fe�es League Cup, and in 2016/17 they were league runners-up and
Sportsmanship Trophy winners. The Reserves were runners-up in the Capital League (West) for the 3 successive
seasons from 2007, and also reached the League’s President’s Cup Final in both 2007 and ’08 before winning this
trophy in 2011. In 2013/14, they achieved a clean sweep in the Capital League – champions, President’s Cup, top
scorer (Danny Basse�), and even (for a 3rd successive year) Programme of the Year! In 2014/15, the Reserves
were joint champions in the two-team Capital League ‘B’ Division! Meanwhile, the Youths again reached the
county cup final in 2014 and 2016. The Club has a good record in the FA Youth Cup, with several Football League
scalps. A former Youth, Sco� Taylor, became the Club’s record sale when he signed for Millwall, going on to play
in the Premiership with Bolton and at Wembley for Tranmere. Following James Younghusband (Philippines), two
more Staines players made full interna�onal appearances for Guyana in 2008 – brothers Howard and Jake
Newton, followed by Chris Bourne and Terence Vancooten. The College side were Bri�sh Colleges Na�onal 5-a-
side champions in 2009 and 2011. The Veterans XI was an integral part of the social life at Wheatsheaf Lane for
many years, and has now transformed itself into a golf society that won the Conference ‘Classic’ at Cel�c Manor
in 2011. In 2017, a new Staines Town Strollers side was formed. A flourishing Junior Congress ran up to 18 teams
at all age groups with considerable success in local Sunday leagues, and won the Middlesex Cups in 2009 (u11)
and 2019 (u14), before breaking away in 2019. A link-up with the Kingston College Men’s Football Academy
provided the club with U19 sides in the Na�onal U19 Alliance and English Colleges’ FA League, winning the ECFA
Reserve League in 2010, ’11 and ’13. A third U19 side in a local league was added in 2012/13. A Futsal team
met with great success in its first season, 2015/16, finishing top of the Na�onal Colleges & Academies League
South and the Surrey Colleges Championship. The Academy moved elsewhere a�er 16 years, but a new under
18 set-up has taken shape in �me for the 2019/20 season. Mini-Soccer was invented at Staines Town, and ran

for 18 seasons, and there was a regular end of season Fes�val Of Football. A Ladies’ team operated from 2000-2,
and was revived as Staines Town FC Women from 2005-8, two of whose players were selected for England youths
(Georgie Giddings later also playing for England U19), while the side made a remarkable run to the 3rd Round
Proper of the Women’s FA Cup as well as winning the Greater London League Div 2, Middlesex Junior Cup and the
Russell Cup. This was followed in 2006/7 by a second successive promo�on to the London & South East RWL
Division 1 (as winners of GLWL Div 1), and victory in the inaugural Isthmian Women’s Cup. Staines won the
Conference (South)’s Programme of the Year award in 2010/11 and 2011/12.

By David Richardson
There can’t be many things in football more frustra�ng than a blank Saturday with no game.
Storm Dennis swept in and wiped out much of the Non-League calendar last weekend.
There were only three games on in the Na�onal League’s top �er, while the Southern League
programme was hit hard across Steps 3 and 4.
Fortunately, some of the a�ernoon’s bigger games – the top two clash in the Isthmian League
between Worthing and Folkestone Invicta along with Slough against Havant in Na�onal League
South – went ahead so there was s�ll some ac�on to report and read about on Sunday morning!
Postponed games – some at the last minute – causes all sorts of headaches. From all the planning
in the week, o�en by volunteers, the printed programmes that can’t be sold and the myriad of
other jobs and work required to get a game on that have gone to waste.
At least those games that fell afoul of the wind and rain can be rearranged and played later in the
season.
But that’s li�le consola�on for clubs like Tadcaster Albion and Wisbech Town, who were hit hard
by Storm Ciara and again by Dennis in recent weeks.
They weren’t the only ones, but the pictures of the damage show the las�ng impact of weather.
Wisbech have launched a fundraising campaign a�er suffering around £10,000 worth of damage
while the news from Taddy sounds poten�ally even more serious.
The Step 4 Northern Premier League club say the damage - at least £42,000 worth - caused by
flooding to their pitch and clubhouse could see them go out of business a�er 125 years.
It’s the third �me they’ve been hit in recent years a�er the adjacent River Wharfe burst its banks
leaving the pitch under 1.6 metres of water and the clubhouse ruined.
With no one willing to insure them and their con�ngency funds used up on last year’s flood – they
are facing a fight for their future.
They too have launched a fundraising campaign and hope the football family can ride to their
rescue.
“We are s�cking plasters on s�cking plasters but it has now come to the stage where we are
facing the poten�al of closure of the club,” chairman Andy Charlesworth told The NLP.
“It’s a devasta�ng �me but we have had a fantas�c response from local businesses and the
community of offers of help. We even had one pensioner give us £100 cash! That’s what this club
means to people.”
The club has six remaining homes games to fulfil before the end of April and need to get close to
their £12,000 fundraising target for immediate repair work.
