| Club History | Around the time of England’s victorious 1966 World Cup campaign another momentous footballing landmark occurred that was much closer to home. A group of lads from Claygate, all aged around 18-24, came together with the hope of forming a team. They trained every night on Claygate Rec and when it became too dark to see they used the lamp posts around the station as floodlights. Although there was already a club called Claygate FC that the lads could have joined, they played their matches on Saturdays and some of the new group were already playing senior football on Saturdays, for clubs such as Molesey FC, Addlestone FC and Corinthian Casuals FC so if the boys were going to play together as a team, they had to play on Sundays |
