History

Perspective
Established in 1932, the club joined the Gloucestershire County League in 1982.[1] After finishing runners up in 1994–95, they were promoted to Division One of the Hellenic League.[1] They finished third in 1994–95, earning promotion to the Premier Division.[1] Despite finishing in the bottom three every season, the club avoided relegation until 2001–02, when they went back down to Division One West.[1]
The club finished runners up in 2005–06,[1] earning promotion back to the Premier Division.
The club resigned from the Hellenic League in November 2009 due to financial challenges, and took their Reserve Team's place in Division Two of the Gloucester Northern Senior League. In the season of 2010–11 the club were very likely to be promoted and did so, just being pipped as champions by Frampton FC. The club went on to play in Division One of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League for the season of 2011–12.
After the premiership of Steve Boseley in charge of the first team, the club has struggled to gain a foothold in local football as they had done during the end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st centuries. Many former players have taken charge since including Martin Reid and Darren Weyman but without any major success.
The current First Team Manager's are Shaun Poole and Ryan Pendrey who took charge in June 2025, with Pendrey joining Poole on the management team. The club successfully runs four open age teams, with the Reserves, Thirds and Fourths competing in Division 1 to 3 of the North Gloucestershire Association Football League.
A famous fan of the club is comedian Harry Hill, whose name is also a nickname of the club (Harry Hill being a former name of Harrow Hill).[2][3] Harry was presented with a club badge in 2008, and has worn it on his programme Harry Hill's TV Burp.
