Formby F.C.
Formby Football Club is an English football club based in Formby, Merseyside. They play in the Liverpool County Premier League Championship Division.
The club previously played in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division in 2013–14. They are members of the Liverpool County Football Association.
The club were established in 1919 as Formby United. After a year at various pitches in the town they moved to a ground that would be their home for more than 80 years, Brows Lane. Three years later they dropped the 'United' to become simply Formby FC.
After a first season in the Southport & District League, the club competed in the Liverpool and District League, where they were First Division champions in 1924–25. Later they transferred to the Liverpool League, achieving two honours in 1927–28, being finalists in the league's knockout trophy, the RP Houston Cup as well as winning the Barnes Benevolent Cup. In 1929–30 the Squirrels achieved a notable double, winning the RP Houston Cup on 2 May 1930, and just three days later winning the Liverpool County FA Amateur Cup.
In the early 1930s Formby moved on to the I Zingari League. In 1931–32 they were runners-up in the Division Two, then in 1932–33 they were Division Two champions and were promoted to Division One. They won the Liverpool County FA Amateur Cup for the second time in 1934–35. In 1936–37 they were runners-up in Division One.
The years immediately after World War II were something of a golden age for Formby. Now playing in the Liverpool County Combination, for eight out of ten seasons they were winners or runners-up for a trophy and/or league title.
In 1947–48 they won the Liverpool County FA Amateur Cup and were also runners-up in the league. The following season, they won the double, being Liverpool County Combination champions and winning the Liverpool County FA Amateur Cup. In 1949–50 they were losing finalists in the Liverpool County Combination knockout competition, the George Mahon Cup. In 1951–52 they were runners-up in the league and in 1952–53 won the Liverpool County FA Challenge Trophy. The following season they were again runners-up in the league. The 1954–55 season saw the club win the Liverpool County Combination Subsidiary Cup and the following season were again losing finalists in the George Mahon Cup, and once again in 1956–57.
In 1963–64 they won the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup, and then won the George Mahon Cup in 1964–65 when they were also runners-up in the league and losing finalists in the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup. In 1967–68 they won the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup for a third time.
