History
[edit]Winslow United Football Club was formed in 1891. They joined the South Midlands League in 1968. In the 1983–84 season, they reached the second round of the FA Vase. For the 2008–09 season, they were members of the Spartan South Midlands League Division One. However, they withdrew the senior teams from the league prior to the 2009–10 season and continued with a strong youth policy running an U18, U17 and two U16 teams. After one year out the two senior teams under new management restarted the following season (2010–11). The club's youth academy now stretches from under-7s upwards. Their greatest years were when they won the South Midlands League Division One in 1974/75 and followed that up with a second place in the Premier Division the very next season managed by John Webster.[1][2]
