History

HISTORY OF MAINE ROAD FC

1955-2022

The Club takes its name from Maine Road Social Club in Moss Side, Manchester, where it was formerly Headquartered and has become one of South Manchester’s most exciting Semi Professional Teams.
Our philosophy has consistently promoted great youth development, attained a culture of outstanding club loyalty (with top 13 players making over 350 appearances ,of which the top 5 players have also gone on to run the first or reserve teams, and in our 67 year history we have had only 12 managers of which 8 have been ex-players) nurtured local talent (providing a platform for many players semi-professional careers or some professional careers such as Wayne Collins, Colin Little, James, Tarkowski) linked to success on the pitch. Highlights have been in the: North West Counties League (members since 1988, Division Two champions 1989–90 & Challenge Cup winners 2007–08); FA Vase reaching the Fourth round (1994–95) ; FA Cup reaching the Second qualifying round, (1989–90, 1990–91, 1992–93, 1994–95, 1997–98 & 2001–02) ; and great success in Manchester Premier trophies (winning all five county Cups - the Manchester Premier Cup (3) in 1975–76, 1976–77, 1987–88 ( & been runners up (2) 1999-00 & 2003-04) , and Amateur Cup (5), Sunday Amateur Cup (1), Intermediate Cup (2), Challenge Cup (4)

Originally a Sunday league side - The Club was formed in 1955 as by our past Chairman Frank Thompson and friends as ‘City Supporters Rusholme’ in the Rusholme Sunday League, moving in the late sixties to the Manchester Amateur Sunday League and to the newly built Maine Road Social Club. Ronnie Meredith was now running the club and he changed the whole future of the club by moving to Saturday football in the Manchester League. Success followed success on the field and after several years of moving grounds we settled on our present home at Brantingham Road in 1980. In Season 1983-84 when we won our first Manchester League Premier Division. In fact, we then won the league four years running.

Derek Barber took over the managerial reins in 1986 and the clubs progress continued so much that, when the Manchester County FA’s new complex at Brantingham Road was built, achieved, entry to the Bass North West Counties League. The next 12 years saw the winning the Division Two to be promoted to the then 4th Step of the Non-League Pyramid, Winning the Premier Cup beating Irlam Town 1-0 at Maine Road (home of Manchester City), some of the best FA cup runs and the best run to date in the FA Vase. Graham Whittingham took over the reins and another FA cup run plus a further Manchester Premier Cup Final appearance followed.

A short blip at the end of Season 2001-02, Maine Road were relegated to the 2nd division. but under the guidance of Chris Simms when our very young side finished 3rd and runners up, we returned to the top division, (2004) and the club has another appearance in the Premier Cup Final.

The arrival of Ian Walker as manager (2006) saw Maine Roads improvement continue with 3 top 6 finishes in 4 seasons and the winning of the prestigious League Challenge Cup (2008).

in 2012-13 John Morrey/Chris Thomas took over the managerial reins and in 2 seasons continued the improvement with a magnificent runners up spot (2013), followed by a 4th position (2014).

Chris Hirst took over in November 2014 & ran the club until Oct 2017 and took a very young inexperienced side and finished mid table. Matt Barnes took over until the end of the season when the club was relegated to the 1st Division South. At the start of the 2018-19 season Calum Sykes took over the reins but at Christmas he left the club. We then went back to our normal policy of promoting from within & promoted Ray Barnett from the Reserves along with Jeff Newman and from being down in the relegation zone ended up finishing in 14th position and winning the club of the month in January. 19/20 was quite an extraordinary season ended early by the COVID-19 pandemic which saw Maine Road finish a respectable 9th position and win the Fair Play award along with the best program award for the 1st Division South. Season 21/22 started with an early managerial change following the appointment of Rees Welsh and Guy Heffernan who steered the club to a respectable 6th position.

Maine Road has a long and proud reputation for attracting young players. This success in spotting and nurturing the best young talent has continued over the past decades with Maine Road’s domination of the Umbro International Tournament at Under 19 level. Over 11 seasons our Under 19’s have taken on and regularly outplayed talented youngsters from around the world. They have won the competition an amazing 6 times and been runners up 3 times. .
