Westside FC History

In the beginning . . . Westside Football Club was established in May 1996 and is a Christian Club based at West Side Church Wandsworth. While we are a Christian based club, we welcome players who are not Christians. Our aim is to enjoy playing football in the right spirit, with as much class as possible and to pass on the great news of God’s Free Gift of eternal Life to all those who want it! The club’s management is made up mainly of committed Christians who endeavour to run the club on this basis. We ask our players to be sympathetic to this aim and we have a strict Code of Conduct to which all players are asked to commit themselves to before signing for the club. We try to maintain a highly professional standard in everything we do. We believe that this attitude enabled us to win the Sportsmanship award twice in four years, which is one of our main aims for every season. We have a vision to expand to be a multi-team club and to play in the highest standard possible. In 2003 we achieved Intermediate status and in 2004 we achieved full FA Charter Standard Status. As a Christian football club, Westside also undertakes overseas Missions and gives support to those who love football but are not as lucky as us to have ready access to equipment, good pitches and the love of God. In August 2004 and 2007 Westside FC took a squad of 23 players and support staff to Senegal in West Africa. The trip was arranged in conjunction with WEC International and the purpose was to run coaching clinics for local youngsters, play matches against local sides and to work with local Churches to show how football can be used to spread the Gospel. It was supported by Surrey County FA who donated equipment, that was gifted at the end of the misson to the local Churches and football clubs so that they could continue to run these activities. In addition to our work in Senegal, we have established a link with two clubs – FC Lamin and FC Tonny – in Sierra Leone and in January 2006 the players of Westside FC donated unwanted football kit and equipment which was taken out to Sierre Leone and given away to needy kids and the two football teams. We now have in place a continuous collection of unwanted football kit which we will send or take to both Senegal and Sierra Leone. We also have since 1998 a connection with Fundatia Integro, a Christian group in Romania and many of our players have been to the country on a regular basis to work in summer camps for needed children and to work with the organisation in gypsy villages and deprived areas.

Youth

In September 2002 we ventured into youth football and formed a Girls team playing in the Surrey County Girls League. In September 2004 we formed our boy’s section and joined the London Saturday Youth Football League. In the 2011/12 season our U18 Boys won the Surrey Youth League Premier Elite Division. In 2013/14 we started again from the bottom and formed an U7 team, which soon doubled in size. This snowballed and we continued to add more teams. Also in this year we joined forces with Sean McInnes Coaching and formed three new teams playing in the Surrey Youth League.

In 2018/2019 Westside FC ran 29 youth teams playing competitive football.

The Chairman’s view As I said in last week’s programme, I was like every football supporter at the start of a new season, brimmed full of new season optimism and belief that we can be Champions!! Well unlike many other supporters for example West Ham, Chelsea and Watford to name but three, I am still full of that optimism. Following a superb opening victory against FC Deportivo Galatica, we managed to come away with all three points from our first away game at Eversley and California and sit at the top of the League. This week, we welcome the players and officials from Epsom and Ewell FC to The Lane and also, this week’s match officials, referee Adam Absolon, and his Assistants, Michael Stevens and Adam Thompson. It is interesting that out of six officials for our two home games, three have been Adams! We hope that everyone enjoyed our first programme, brilliantly put together by Geoff Ellis, our Programme Editor and I am sure that if anyone wants a copy of any of Abby Walters excellent action photos, she would be happy to arrange to get them to you. Also, thanks to Shaney and Tasha, Abbey’s two assistants. I would also, like to take this opportunity to thank our new sponsors, West Side Church, 3CGlobal Group, Harnham, the Resourcing Hub and ESU Consulting. We really appreciate your support and hope that this will be a fruitful relationship for all of us. We are currently undergoing a real learning curve both on the pitch and off it, with so many things to do to meet all the new rules of playing at this level and meeting the standards of hospitality required by the league. I have to say that Jane Walters and her hospitality team are, in my opinion, second to none so I am sure that all our visitors to The Lane will enjoy their visit – if not the result!! We still need more volunteers to undertake all the extra duties required at this level and especially on match days. Many of us already have at least two jobs and really don’t want any more. So, I ask that if anyone reading this wants to financially support a very worthwhile social project and football club or to do a rewarding job on a Saturday afternoon, then please do not hesitate to contact me. Despite all of our needs, I have a total trust that God provides, I pray that he might send us people who can match His and our dreams for the future. Also, in the Bible, Matthew tells the story of when Jesus walks on the water during a storm in the Sea of Galilee. I have always believed that, as a Christians, we should, like Peter, step out of the boat and walk with faith knowing that we can achieve anything with Jesus. Look at what has happened all the times we have stepped out of the boat since Westside FC started in 1996. As always, may God Bless you all and if we at Westside FC continue to keep the Vision, who knows where Westside will be at the end of next season and many seasons to come. Graham Holder

We were founded in March 1918 as Epsom Juniors Cricket Club and played throughout the summer. In the autumn, Epsom Juniors F.C. came into being and played a handful of games from what is now known as Alexandra Recreation Ground. Competitive football followed as we entered the Surrey Junior League in 1919, and became founder members of the Sutton & District League in 1920. A change of name in July 1922 to Epsom Town F.C. heralded the start of a very successful era. By now resident at the Horton Hospital Sports Ground, we were unfortunate to lose 2-1 after extra time at Dorking F.C.’s Pixham Lane ground to Caterham Mental Hospital in a replay of the Surrey Junior Cup Final. However, we won three other trophies that season, the Leatherhead Hospital Shield, the Sutton Hospital Cup, and the Epsom Hospital Cup. In addition, we also won the Sutton & District League, and under the forward thinking of their visionary Chairman Hugh Bradley, took the step into Intermediate Football, where we won the Southern Suburban League without losing a match. Senior football was granted as we were unanimously accepted into the Surrey Senior League for 1924/25, where we finished third. In September 1925, the club relocated to the old Ewell F.C. ground at West Street, which was purchased through the generosity of our future President Robert Bradshaw. In 1925/26 the Championship of the Surrey Senior League was attained, and the following season, we defeated Egham 1-0 at Egham in the League Charity Cup to complete a League and Cup “double”. Election to the London League followed, and the title was claimed in the first attempt in 1927/28. Unfortunately, we were unable to repeat this, instead finishing runners-up in 1931/32, 1932/33, 1934/35, 1936/37 and 1937/38. Cup Honours were limited, although in 1929 Redhill defeated us 3-2 in front of 4,600 at Guildford in our first Surrey Senior Cup Final, having seen off Wimbledon 4-1 in the semi-final! The thirties were a very successful era, and we won the Surrey Charity (Senior) Shield in 1933 with an impressive 5-0 win over Woking at Kingfield. However, the proudest moment of our pre-war history was an appearance in the First Round Proper of the FA Cup in 1933/34. Woking (after a replay), Nunhead, Tooting & Mitcham, Beddington Corner, and Leytonstone were defeated, and a crowd of 9,485 at the Lea Bridge Speedway Stadium witnessed a 4-2 loss against the hosts Clapton Orient. At the end of that season we changed our name to Epsom F.C. In 1939 a newly formed team, Epsom Town (no connection to the earlier name) shared the ground with Epsom F.C. However, this arrangement was suspended when war was declared, and we folded for the duration. In the meantime, Club Chairman Charles Pettett threw in his lot with Epsom Town in an attempt to boost morale by keeping the football flag flying. It was successful, as that club competed continuously throughout the war years, winning the Surrey Combination in 1939/40, and reaching the Surrey Senior Cup Final in 1944, losing 3-1 to Tooting & Mitcham, at Sandy Lane. After the war, Epsom F.C. restarted, continuing in the London League and reclaimed West Street. Temporary homes were found for Epsom Town while they competed for a season in the newly created Corinthian League, but disbanded in 1946. In 1949 we entered the Corinthian League ourselves, where in 1952 we reached the League Memorial Shield Final in 1952, going down 2-1 to Champions Hounslow at Eastbourne after leading at half-time. Things improved further with the signing of the former English Amateur International Pat Lynch from Hendon, finishing third in 1952/53, while in 1954 we reached the Surrey Senior Cup Final for the second time in our history, losing unluckily 2-0 to Corinthian Casuals in front of 6,159 at Selhurst Park. In 1955 we won the Surrey Senior Shield with a 1-0 win over Carshalton Athletic at West Street. We appointed our first ever Manager, Kingstonian legend Doug Whitehead in 1955 and the Corinthian League double was almost achieved in 1956/57, but two losses in the final week, along with a 2-0 defeat in the Cup Final to Maidenhead United at Dorking ensured that we ended with neither, finishing fourth. However in 1960, we finally raised the Shield with a 2-0 revenge win over Maidenhead at Vale Farm, home of Wembley F.C. In 1960 we changed our name once again to Epsom & Ewell F.C. This was not because of any merger with Ewell & Stoneleigh as is often quoted, but was an attempt to increase support across the whole of the Borough. In 1963 the Corinthian League merged with the Athenian and Delphian Leagues, and we were placed in Division One of the new structure, but the sixties were full of poor results and we were relegated in 1965. Despite a string of managers, most notably ex-Leyton Orient winger Jimmy Smith, and Tony Williams, now famous for his creation of the F.A. Yearbooks, our fortunes did not improve significantly and further relegations were avoided in the early seventies by the benefit of re-election. However in 1973, despite “improving” to finish second from bottom, the Athenian League ran out of patience and cut us loose. This was unfortunate timing as we had just cleared all of our debts, and in addition to a virtually new Committee, former Fulham player Pat O’Connell had taken over as Manager. The Surrey Senior League took us in at the last minute, and the new squad, including young striker Tommy Tuite, won the League Cup, and the following season, 1974/75 achieved a second Surrey Senior League “double”. However, the season would always be remembered for reaching the Final of the inaugural F.A. Vase, where 9,500 saw the Blues edged out 2-1.

by Hoddesdon Town at Wembley Stadium. The Athenian League welcomed us back, and promotion to the top flight was achieved in that first season. In 1976/77 we reached the Athenian League Cup Final, losing 1-0 at Chalfont St Peter. By then, we knew that we had been invited to join the expanding Isthmian League for 1977/78, and were placed in the new Division Two. Our first match under floodlights took place against Met Police in August 1977, and the title was clinched the following April, securing a move to Division One. In 1979/80 we won the Southern Combination Cup 7-2 over Hampton on their own pitch, where the opposition were blitzed by five goals from Tuite. The following season a new clubhouse opened at West Street, and we finally won the Surrey Senior Cup, defeating Woking 2-1 at Tooting & Mitcham, although we just missed out on promotion. In 1983/84 we clinched a spot in the Premier Division as runners-up, although this time we missed out in the Surrey Senior Cup Final, defeated 4-0 by Sutton United at Imber Court. With Adrian Hill as Manager since 1982, we survived comfortably in our first season at the new level, but Hill’s departure to Croydon in 1985 started a decline. Much of the squad left with Hill, and new Manager Alan Webb had too much to do. We were relegated in 1986, and following Webb’s departure soon after, Player / Manager Ricky Kidd nearly but not quite saved us from our second straight relegation. Adrian Hill replaced Kidd for a second spell at the helm in 1990, but we were placed in the new Division Three in 1991 in league reorganisation following a finish one position below the required half way mark. In 1993 a large chapter in our history ended as we left West Street and moved in as tenants of Banstead Athletic. The decade was largely one of frustration, although we did reach the Final of the Associate Members Trophy, losing 2-0 to Bedford Town at Hendon’s old Claremont Road ground. In 2002 Adrian Hill took us back up to Division 1 South, where we topped the table for a month, eventually finishing 9th, but Hill’s retirement at the end of the season led to relegation a year later and then in 2006 we were transferred into the Combined Counties League Premier Division. In October 2006 Lyndon Buckwell, a former player became our new Manager, and in his first full season (2007/08) we were back in the top ten. In 2008/09 we exceeded this achievement and finished in fourth place after heading the table for a few months. In 2009/10 the club recovered from a slow start to finish fifth and also reached the last 32 of the FA Vase for the first time in 21 years, bowing out 3-2 in Northamptonshire to Long Buckby. In April of 2010 we terminated our seventeen-year ground sharing agreement with Banstead Athletic and spent two unspectacular seasons at Merstham FC before relocating to High Road, home of Chipstead FC for the 2012/13 season. The season brought significant playing success as a slow start was followed by a spectacular run of form, including a club record 12 straight League wins, which put us at the top of the table for over a month before a tough run in resulted in a final position of fifth. However, any disappointment there was tempered by the club’s first silverware since 1981 when we defeated South Park 3-0 at Farnborough to win the Combined Counties League Cup. Lyndon also marked 300 games in charge of the club in early 2013. On a sadder note, 2012/13 also marked one thousand games since we left West Street. We carried our fine form into 2013/14 and led the league with eight straight wins but couldn’t hold on and had to settle for third place, our highest league finish since 1984, but the following season Lyndon Buckwell departed and Glyn Mandeville and new Assistant Matt Smith steered the club to seventh place, despite a substantial budget cut and this improved to fourth place in 2015/16. In the summer of 2016 our club visited France and played a friendly against our twin town Chantilly, which was where the England team had been based before their Euro 2016 campaign. The players were able to meet Roy Hodgson and Gary Neville and performed admirably as ambassadors for our town.

In 2016/17 we started the season with an incredible 9-2 win at newly promoted Bedfont & Feltham in a match where we had trailed 2-0 at half time and went on to repeat our fourth place finish in the League. In addition, we reached the League Cup Final but were defeated 4-1 by Westfield at Windsor FC. However, in summer 2017, we suffered a large player exodus with a substantial number joining local rivals Sutton Common Rovers. Glyn was unable to replace them with enough players of real quality and three quarters of the season was pent at the foot of the table. Glyn’s resignation in January 2018 led to the club promoting our Coach Neil Grant into the Manager’s role and although he managed to get us off the foot of the table, relegation was always likely and was confirmed in mid-April; not a great way to celebrate our Centenary! The attempts at bouncing straight back did not start particularly well and Grant departed in October. He was replaced by Simon Funnell, who stepped up from his Assistant role and oversaw a good run of results which took us back up to the fringes of the promotion race, before a defeat to Frimley Green derailed our season and we tailed off to finish in eighth position. We had the consolation of reaching the Division One League Cup Final at Meadowbank, home of Dorking Wanderers, but again Frimley Green stood in our way and defeated us by the only goal. We now commence our eighth season at High Road with a clear target of promotion back into the top flight of the Combined Counties League through one of the four promotion spots that are available this year. Meanwhile, the search continues for a new ground back in the Borough…..
