Radford Football Club

Radford Football Club 'The Pheasants' -
United Counties Football League, Division One - Step 6
In 1983/84, we won the Central Midlands League Senior Cup.

Founded in 1964 as Manlove & Alliots FC and played in the Nottinghamshire Sunday league. Manlove & Alliots were a Engineering firm situated in Radford. After the firm transfered to Scotland in 1970/71, the club carried on under the name of Radford Olympic FC being sponsored by The Pheasant Inn. In 1977 we became the first amateur side in Britain to be allowed to wear advertising on our shirts and

the BBC Television came along to our home ground on Melbourne Park and filmed one of our matches and interviewed officials for the evening programme "Nationwide". In 1978 we formed a ground developement committee and decided to seek out a piece of ground preferably in the Radford area for development of our own ground. Radford Olympic transferred to Saturday Football and made progress up the leagues and in 1982/83 finished Champions of the East Midlands Regional League. In 1987 Radford Olympic were renamed Radford F.C. At the end of 2002/03 we were promoted to the Supreme Division of the Central Midlands League and in our first season in the top flight we finished 11th. After holding our own during the seasons 2003/04 & 2004/05 in the top league of the Central Midlands League, the club delivered silverware in the season 2005/06 under the guidance of Julian
Garmston and assistant Pete Kelley, winning the C.M.L Phoenix Trophies floodlight Cup and equally impressive was the equal fifth place finish in the C.M.L Supreme Division which in an extremely tough league. New floodlighting and 1st phase significant ground improvements were actioned. During season 2005/6 a seated stand was completed. Season 2008/09, was a big challenge for Radford F.C. as we moved up a level to the new Step 6 East Midlands Counties Football League. The following season we competed in the FA Cup for the first time. Several moderate seasons followed until 2014-2015 when the club finished third. A league runners up place followed in 2015 -2016. Silverware came to the club in 2017-2018 by way of winning the League Cup. A new era for the club began at the start of the 2021-2022 season with a sideways move to the United Counties League. The club qualified for the end of season play offs by finishing fourth. In the semi finals a defeat to Belper United meant they remained in Division One for a second season.
