Prescot Cables F.C.
Prescot Cables Football Club is a supporter-owned football club based in Prescot, Merseyside. It was established in 1884 and has also been known as Prescot and Prescot Town. They compete in the Northern Premier League Premier Division and play their home games at Valerie Park. They are a member of the Liverpool County Football Association.
The "Cables" in their name came from the largest local employer in Prescot, British Insulated Cables, which was founded in 1890 as the British Insulated Wire Company, and later became part of British Insulated Callender's Cables. Prescot Wire Works were founder members of the Liverpool County Football Combination league and were runners three times in the years leading up to the First World War.
Prescot Cables joined the Lancashire Combination in 1927–28, while still simply known as Prescot, taking over the record of Fleetwood who resigned after playing 22 matches, while also finishing its season in the Liverpool County Combination. (Until 1968, when the Northern Premier League was formed, the Lancashire Combination was one of top leagues in the north-west of England). Cables - the name being added in 1928 - was runner-up in the Combination on three consecutive seasons from 1930–31 to 1932–33.
In 1932 Valerie Park hosted its record attendance (8,122) in a game against Ashton National. Unfortunately for the Cables, the glory years were not to return for another 20 years.
The years 1954 to 1960 were probably the club's most successful. In 1954–55 they finished Lancashire Combination Division Two runner-up and were promoted to Division One. The next season but one (1956–57) they finished champions of the Lancashire Combination. The following two seasons they were runners-up.
In 1954–55 the Cables registered their record victory in a competitive game (18–3) against Great Harwood.
In the F.A. Cup too the Cables shone. In 1957–58 they fought their way to the first round proper for the first time, only to be beaten away at Hartlepool United. They were in the first round proper again in 1959–60; this time they were beaten away at Darlington.
By 1975 fortunes at the club had dipped drastically. The Cables joined Mid Cheshire Football League and unsurprisingly they finished champions in 1976–77.
