Westside FC History

Westside FC was founded by Graham Holder, our current Chairman, in May 1996 and is based at West Side Church in Wandsworth. Graham travelled to the USA in 1994 with Ambassadors in Sport to coach and evangelise in San Jose, California during the 1994 World Cup. While he was there he had a vision to form a Christian football club on his return to the UK.

In 1996 this happened. With the team only having 7 players, it joined Division 5 of the Kingston & District League (KDL). By the start of the season, the team had 17 players mainly from the West Side Church youth group. In this first season the team, player managed by Graham Holder, won KDL Division 5, the Tec Cup, and the Sportsmanship Cup and were runners-up in the League Junior Cup. Not a bad start and with Dave Doran scoring 55 goals.

The club grew to have three adult mens teams in the KDL with brothers, friends and friends of friends joining. The 1st team progressed through the divisions of the KDL and in 1999/20 were Division 2 Champions and were promoted directly to the KDL Premier Division and won this the following season 2000/01.

The club decided to have a further season in the KDL Premier and apply for promotion to the Surrey South Eastern Combination Intermediate League (SSEC) the following season. Unfortunately, the plan went wrong when the team ended 3rd. Graham decided to take a gamble and transferred the team into the SSEC Junior 1 and it gained promotion to the Intermediate League in 2002/03 by winning the last game of the season against promotion rivals Warlingham.

Graham Holder remained Manager until 2008/09 and after 12 years stepped down to manage the Res in SSEC Junior 1. His Assistant Manager, Steve Walters took over the job of 1st team manager. During those 12 years, the club won numerous trophies – see clubs honours page - including being FA Charter Standard National Adult Club of the Year 2005/06. Steve Walters led the first team to the SSEC Intermediate Division 2 title in 2014/15 and Division 1 the following season gaining promotion to the Surrey Elite League and we switched to playing our home games at AFC Croydon Athletic. In 2018/19 we finished 3rd and gained promotion to Step 6 of the National Football Structure and entered the Combined Counties Division 1. We moved to ground share with Chessington and Hook United and despite a relatively good start, our season like many others was curtailed by COVID -19. We are starting the 2020/21 season ground sharing at Colliers Wood United FC.

Also, in 2004, the club became the first Christian team to take a Mission Tour to Senegal in West Africa. A great adventure, two years of planning and a difficult one for a Christian team in a mainly Muslim country. The tour was a great success and we returned in 2007 with an even more gruelling schedule of matches, coaching and Christian evangelism. There were some very unusual pitches and football in the jungle is a real experience! We also have connections with Romania and Sierra Leone. We believe that our original vision to be a multi team club has blossomed over the years since 1996. The club has expanded greatly since starting youth and girls’ football in 2002. Under the overall control of Jane Walters, we now have over 30 youth boys teams from U7 to U18 with teams playing on both Saturday and Sunday and a ladies and two girls teams (U14 and U10). All these teams have also won numerous trophies across all levels of the club – please see the honours list in our programmes. Last year, we joined forces with Sean Innes Coaching and formed three new teams in the Surrey Youth League.

The Chairman’s view

Hi Everyone and welcome to Wibbandune. I hope you all enjoy the experience and I would ask you all to remember the COVID rules to ensure your own and others safety and ensure your time with us is a safe time.

With two games a week at the moment, the writing of these notes comes thick and fast. Today, we play our sixth league match with the hope of continuing to remain unbeaten and stay at the top of the League. Our opponents are Walton and Hersham and we know it is going to be a tough match.

In our last home game on Wednesday night we beat old rivals Tooting Bec on a very raining night. It is always a hard game against them and we went 1-0 down after 20 minutes following a defensive error. But we were level three minutes later when Ryan Smith finished a great move after being set up with an open goal by Sian Forsyth. In the second half we lost Ryan Bell with a muscle injury but Roy Gayle filled his position with a fine performance and then in the 67th minute one of our old youth team players made his return to Westside and in the 76th minute he scored the winning goal – welcome back Marlon Pinder.

So as I have said, this afternoon we welcome the Players, Officials and Supporters of Walton & Hersham, along with our referee, Declan Wyatt and his two Assistants, Dean Banks and Matthew Swinburn. I am sure that they will make a great contribution to the enjoyment of the match without needing the assistance of VAR which is still causing great controversy in the professional game! Does anyone really know the hand ball law, even after the explanations in the newspapers!!

I must also stress that we will not tolerate racial abuse of any kind at our matches.

Those who read my comments regularly last season will know, I cannot finish these notes without a reference to God who provides the talent that enables both our players and those of our opponents to play this great game. So remember that Christianity is the only Faith in which judgement comes before the performance. That is what I hold on to daily. Christ died for me whilst I was a sinner and the outcome has already been decided and that is Grace. We should all remember who gives us the talent to play and helps us to achieve our goals if we stay faithful to Gods vision. If you need to know more talk to me or our Chaplain.

May God Bless you all, players and spectators.

Please enjoy our hospitality and the game which hopefully is played in a way that is exciting, sporting and enjoyable. Graham Holder

Welcome to our visitors . . . Walton & Hersham Walton-on-Thames F.C. was formed in 1895, and in 1945, following World War II, amalgamated with Hersham F.C. to form Walton & Hersham F.C., the present club. The united club immediately joined the newly formed Corinthian League and followed a poor first season with a hat-trick of Championships and a runners-up position. They also won the Surrey Senior Cup for the first time in 1947-48, beating Isthmian League neighbours Kingstonian 2-1 at Crystal Palace. Election to the Athenian League soon followed and in their first season, 1950-51, Swans finished runners-up and again won the Surrey Senior Cup at Palace, defeating the much vaunted Dulwich Hamlet 2-1.

Great days, big crowds These were halcyon days for the Stompond Lane side and the FA Amateur Cup Semi-Final was reached in successive seasons, 1951-52 and 1952-53, only for Swans to go out to Walthamstow Avenue and Harwich & Parkeston respectively. During this period the club enjoyed a tremendous following, and a record crowd of 10,000 were at the Lane in 1952 when the famous Crook Town were the visitors for an Amateur Cup tie. Stars of this era included Swans’ most famous player, England and Great Britain Olympic defender C.R. ‘Jack’ Neale, and the prolific Reg Sentance, still the club’s all-time top scorer. Some lean years followed, although the FA Cup First Round was reached for the first time in 1957-58, Southampton winning 6-1 before 6,000 people at Stompond Lane. Don Stoker’s popular sides of the early 1960’s brought cup fever back to the Lane and there were fine runs again in the FA Amateur Cup. Two late goals by the prolific and popular Brian Jenkins beat the star-studded Wimbledon side in the Surrey Senior Cup Final of 1960-61, and the trophy was retained against Sutton United the following season. After several years of mid-table respectability the appointment of Allen Batsford as manager in 1967 heralded the beginning of the most successful period in the club’s history. At the end of his first season, a superb victory over a powerful Wimbledon side in the two legged Final secured the Premier Midweek Floodlit League title, the first of three, followed a year later by the winning of the Athenian League championship for the first time. The FA Cup First Round Proper was again reached in the following two seasons, only for Swans to lose to Barnet 1-0 in 1969-70 and Telford United 5-2 in 1970-71, both games being played at the Lane. The runners-up spot in the League was achieved in both those campaigns and the Surrey Senior Cup came back to Stompond Lane in 1970-71, Woking being defeated 3-0 in the Final. Election to the Isthmian ranks followed, with third place attained in the first season, 1971-72.

Wembley at last Then followed the most memorable season in the club’s history, 1972-73.The FA Cup First Round barrier was overcome for the first time with Exeter City being defeated 2-1 amid tremendous excitement at the Lane, only for visitors Margate to win by the only goal in the Second Round. Kingstonian were beaten 2-0 in the Surrey Senior Cup Final and the runners-up spot achieved in the League.

Then on the 14th April 1973 the ultimate prize was gained at Wembley when 41,000 people saw a last-minute Roger Connell goal against Slough Town bring the FA Amateur Cup to Stompond Lane, the trophy being won without a goal being conceded, a record never to be equaled. Dave Bassett, Willie Smith and Connell also had the honour of playing for the England Amateur side. The following season Brian Clough brought his Brighton & Hove Albion side to Stompond Lane in the FA Cup First Round, and following a goalless draw, Swans pulled off a sensational result in the replay at The Goldstone Ground, a Clive Foskett hat-trick included in a 4-0 win. Sadly, when Batsford left for Wimbledon the following season the fine team broke up, the crowds drifted away, and relegation soon followed in 1975. The FA Cup First Round was surprisingly reached in 1975-76, and a young side put on a battling performance at Selhurst Park against Malcolm Allison’s Crystal Palace, only going down 1-0 to a late goal. Barren years followed, with the club several times being close to extinction. In the mid 1980’s the club was proud to have Sir Stanley Matthews as President, but sides flattered to deceive and only a draw in the final game of the 1986-87 season prevented relegation to Division Two. Promotion After 20 years out of the top-flight, a young side under Neil Price at last gained promotion in 1993-94, and the following season the First Round Proper of the FA Cup was again reached, Swansea City winning 2-0 at the Lane. However Swans’ Centenary celebrations were spoilt by relegation after only two seasons back in the Premier. Under the management of Laurie Craker the team ensured the stay in Division One was as brief as possible, promotion being gained on the last day of the campaign. After a creditable first season back in the Premier Division it again proved to be a struggle to remain there, and at the end of the 1999-2000 season Swans finished in bottom spot and relegation again became a reality. Swans had to wait until the 2004-05 season before more success came to Stompond Lane after long-serving player Alan Dowson took over as manager in October. After defeat in his first match in charge, Dowson led the team to a record breaking 13 match winning sequence, fine runs in the FA Trophy and League Cup, and promotion as runners-up in the Ryman League Division One. The Surrey Senior Cup Final was reached for the first time in 31 years, the Swans only losing a thrilling game against AFC Wimbledon 2-1 after extra-time before close to 4,000 people at Woking. After a creditable first season back in the Premier Division a poor start to 2006-07 led to Dowson’s early resignation and eventual relegation yet again. Since then Swans remained in Division One, facing relegation fights on several occasions, until 2015-16, when a third from bottom finish finally saw them go down, ending a 45 year unbroken stay in the Isthmian League. At the end of September 2017 Swans were forced to leave their home of 8 decades, Stompond Lane, when it was sold for development, the club moving to a new home at a purpouse-built Sports Hub in Waterside Drive. After two good seasons in the Combined Counties League Premier Division, when they finished in fifth and fourth places, a poor 2018-19 led to a bottom place finish and relegation to Division One.
