Rothwell Town F.C.
Rothwell Town F.C. was a football club based in Rothwell in the north of Northamptonshire. They were founding members of the Northamptonshire League in 1895, and played in the United Counties League Division One until 2011–12.
The club was formed as Rothwell Town Swifts in 1895 and was a founder member of the Northamptonshire League. The club's nickname, the Bones, derived from the bone crypt in the town's Holy Trinity Church, one of only two medieval ossuaries in the country; the other being at St Leonards, Hythe, Kent.
Although financial difficulties led to the club switching between senior and junior football on several occasions, they did manage to achieve several runners-up positions during their stay in the Northamptonshire League. In 1933 the club dropped down to the Kettering League, which they won in 1937. In 1948 they returned to senior football, spending two seasons in the Leicestershire Senior League before becoming founder members of the United Counties League in 1950.
During their time in the United Counties League Rothwell achieved five runners-up finishes and finally claimed the league title in 1992–1993, a feat which they repeated the following year. Following their second title win, the club stepped up to the Southern League. In 1997 Rothwell finished second in the Midland Division and were promoted to the Premier Division, where they spent three seasons. After their relegation from the Premier Division in 2000 they played in the Eastern Division, the Western Division, and from 2006 the newly formed Division One Midlands.
The club appointed former Corby Town manager Rob Dunion as their new manager in June 2008.
Season 2009–2010 saw Rothwell struggle both on and off the pitch. In the league they finished in the bottom four and a financial crisis kicked in with the club's main stream of revenue - the social club - becoming unavailable for public use. In the summer of 2010 Rothwell resigned from the Southern League and applied to rejoin the United Counties League in which they were successful, being placed in Division One. Rob Dunion left as manager and former Rothwell favourite Dave Williams took over once again as manager.
The club folded at the end of the 2011–12 season.
Local rivals included: Kettering Town (Conference National), Corby Town (Conference North), Desborough Town and Rothwell Corinthians (both United Counties League).
