History

Cheadle Heath Nomads was formed in 1919. A photograph of the team around that time shows a bizarre combination of ages was necessary to get a team together so shortly after a world war.

With the war over, a group of individuals (Messrs. Sanderson, Bentley, Hopwood, Hulme, Johnson, Taylor and Nuttall) began a fund raising project to raise £1000 (some money in those days) to buy the piece of land 'on the other side of the bridge' in Cheadle (as opposed to Cheadle Heath!) to create a sports club for the area.In 1921 the club opened with Cheadle Heath Nomads at its core, although it also provided facilities for cricket, tennis and ladies' hockey.

Nomads joined the Lancashire and Cheshire AFL and, after a brief break in 1927 stayed in the league until 1994.

The club struggled for money in the 1930s and even changed its club colours from green and yellow quarters to white. Every player had to bring his own white shirt! The colours changed again to claret and blue after the WWII, and they remain the club's colours today.

The club thrived immediately after the war. Facilities were improved with the erection of a Nissan hut with a bar etc. Theteams became hugely successful, especially in the early 1950s. Players at that time such as Doug Berry, Johnny Whittaker, Bob Stuart etc. became the backbone of the club for several years after they had finished playing!

Nomads had often contemplated moving into the Mid Cheshire League (now The Cheshire League) but had been constrained by the presence of cricket with a corner of the football pitch forming part of the cricket outfield. With the demise of the cricket section (tennis and hockey had finished already) and success on the field a step up into the Mid Cheshire League was the obvious way to go.

The hard-working committee, based around Roy Welsh and Jim Hardie had been strengthened by the Gibbons family (George, Dave and John) and the club moved forward with confidence.

Winning the Second Division in its first season, Nomads consolidated in the First Division until 2004 when the club merged with Linotype F C. Linotype were in the same league (now The Cheshire League) but were having problems retaining the facilities at The Silver Wings Club in Timperley.

At the same time Nomads were struggling both on and off the field (Roy Welsh and George Gibbons holding the fort) and a merger of the two organisations made sense, especially as the committee would incorporate two grafters in Brian McGuinness and Jim Calderbank. Cheadle Heath Nomads became Linotype Cheadle Heath Nomads.

There then followed a generally satisfactory playing record until the Cheshire Football League championship was won in season 2013-14. In subsequent seasons Nomads remained in the top echelons of the league (finishing, 2nd, 5th and 4th)

Over the same period there were significant improvements to the playing surface and the facilities with the addition of new changing rooms, the erection of a 50 seater stand and a significant spend on improving the drainage, all with a view to moving into the NWCFL for season 2019/20

The re-structuring of the NWCFL for season 2018/19, however, provided an opportunity too good to miss whilst at the same time providing a significant challenge for a group of individuals to do two years’ work in one. George Gibbons (the same one), Steve Jenkins, Ian Taylor and Paul Farmer put in a mountain of work and with Roy Welsh (the same one) steering the ship, especially financially, the club's facilities were updated to include floodlights, hard standing and new barriers, standing accommodation, spectator toilets etc. Entry to the NWCFL in 2018/19 saw the club’s name revert to that of Cheadle Heath Nomads in time for the club’s centenary.
Nomads have been competitive in their five completed seasons in the NWCFL Division 1 South. The first two seasons saw Nomads finish 9th and 8th place was attained in 2022/23. The last two seasons have seen them finish one place below the playoffs in 6th.

A number of Nomads’ players have gone to on to play at higher levels. The two most notable are Harry Catterick and Adama Sidibeh. Catterick played for Nomads as a teenager before signing for Everton at the age of 18 in 1937. His playing career was in interrupted by the war and he did not make his league debut until 1946. He is more famous as a manger, leading Everton to two league titles, and an FA Cup between 1961 and 1973. Adama Sidibeh was signed by manager Rory Fallon toward the end of 2022. Scoring 20 goals for Nomads in 19 games, he moved to Warrington Rylands at the start of 2023/24. His excellent form continued there, and he moved to Scottish Premiership side St Johnstone in February 2024. He has made over 40 appearances for St Johnstone and has 4 international caps for Gambia.
