Cresswell Wanderers FC

Cresswell Wanderers FC 46 years of age. Simply just making football fun for kids within the Community 👑 This is the OFFICIAL FB page of Cresswell Wanderers F.C.

The club has been in existence since 1979 and over the years we have coordinated youth football. Who would have believed back then from our humble beginnings with just two teams, we would be where we are now. From our young Academy players to Under 7's up to Under 16's. Cresswell Wanderers FC within the West Midlands look at the development plans, aims and objectives for the future and that's to increase it's growth, membership, facilities and support to junior youth football in the area. Cresswell Wanderers are affiliated to the Staffordshire Football Association. Founded in 1979 by Brian Horton Licensee back in the day of the Leather 'n' Bottle Public House, Mossley, Walsall, Norman Walker, Frank Totlee (first Chairman), Alan Jones, Ray Shingleton and Trevor Mellings. Initially there were two teams entered into the Walsall Junior Youth League at under 11's and under 12's, The original club colours for the under 12's were red and white, and for the under 11's the now familiar tangerine and black. The name Cresswell Wanderers is taken from the road that the Leather 'n' Bottle was on, Cresswell Crescent. Past President, Ralph Pursehouse, became involved in the club and produced the first set of trophies for the teams. He has been an active member and supporter ever since. Des Arrowsmith Honary Posthumous President. Des devoted a lot of his time to Cresswell Wanderers. Firstly by managing and coaching one of the teams, but Des never did anything by half measures and ended up becoming the Club Chairman. Most unfortunately Des was stricken by illness and died on 18th September 2002 at the age of only 46. However, his work will not go unrewarded, Des structured the club to give it a sound footing and direction for many years to come and will stay as the elite youth football club of Walsall.

80% of Cresswell players originate from the Mossley and Bloxwich area and now spreading beyond this. Over the years, the club has enjoyed its fair share of success winning many honours and in the process launched a number of professional careers. Andy Thompson (Wolves)
Dean Keats (Walsall)

The current members of the committee are pledged to ensure that the club continues to function in a successful manner both on and off the pitch, with the ultimate goal of owning our land on which to develop several pitches, changing rooms, etc...

⚽️🏆 CRESSWELL WANDERERS U7s – WHAT A DAY! 🏆⚽️

What a special day for our brand-new Cresswell Wanderers Under 7s! 🧡🖤⚽️

These little stars have come through our Mini Kickers programme, and after all their hard work, smiles and football fun, they’ve now officially taken the next step and become a team! 🙌

Today was all about celebrating their journey with a fantastic Presentation & Activity Day, including a brilliant game of FootGolf ⛳️⚽️, plenty of laughs and, of course, some very special presentations! 🏆

The players were presented with their Mini Kickers trophies 🏆 to recognise everything they’ve achieved so far, before receiving their brand-new Cresswell Wanderers kits ready for their next chapter as a team! ⚽️

And to make it even more official… every player signed their very own contract! ✍️🧡🖤

From Mini Kickers to Cresswell Wanderers U7s — what an incredible journey these young players have started. We couldn’t be prouder of every single one of them! 👏

❤️ A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO RONNIE ARNOLD ❤️

We couldn’t let today pass without giving a massive shout-out to our very own Ronnie Arnold, who runs our Mini Kickers sessions for all of our children.

Ronnie has been such a huge part of these little players’ journeys. The kids absolutely adore him, and it’s easy to see why — the enthusiasm, patience, fun and love he brings to every session is something truly special. 🧡🖤⚽️

For so many of these children, Ronnie is the person who first helped them fall in love with football, and days like today show just how important that work is. Watching our Mini Kickers take the next step and become a team is a credit to everything Ronnie puts into the programme.

Cresswell Wanderers simply wouldn’t be what it is without you, Ronnie. 🧡🖤

Thank you for everything you do for our children, for the club and for helping create the next generation of Cresswell Wanderers players. We are incredibly lucky to have you! 👏⚽️

A huge well done to all the players, and a massive thank you to everyone who has helped make today so special.

Here’s to the beginning of an exciting new chapter! 🧡🖤⚽️
