The Top Ten Oldest Football Clubs in the UK

It’s a rainy day in Evesham and at Tower Trophies we’ve been contemplating just how long we have been supplying our Football Trophies to football leagues and teams throughout the UK.

Tower Trophies, a trophy store in the UK, was first established 45 years ago, which seems a long old time in the trophy industry. Our online trophy store has been trading for over 25 years. This thought brought us on to just how long Football Trophies have been presented and we were amazed to discover that the oldest officially established professional football is a massive 166 years old! Sheffield was first established in 1857.

Here’s the top 10 oldest clubs: –

1. Sheffield Football Club (England), 1857
2. Hallam FC (England), 1860
3. Nottingham Forest (England), 1865
4. Clyde FC (Scotland), 1877
5. Stoke City (England), 1863
6. Notts County (England), 1862
7. Blackburn Rovers (England), 1875
8. Arsenal (England), 1886
9. Southampton FC (England), 1885
10. Wolverhampton Wanderers (England), 1877
