History

The formation of Maghull Football Club commenced in the winter of 1921 where they played many friendly games before becoming affiliated to the Liverpool I Zingari Alliance League, Division 1 Section B for the 1922/23 Season. They did not have a permanent ground and the games were played at different places around the Maghull area

It did not take long however, for the Club to win their first trophy when in 1924/25 they became Champions of the Liverpool I Zingari Alliance, Division 1 Section B. they also went on to win the Alliance Championship Cup Promotion resulted in the Club joining Liverpool I Zingari League, Division 3

Maghull finished the 1925/26 season in the runners-up position and were promoted to the Second Division of the Zingari League.

In 1927 a local entrepreneur purchased a piece of land from a local farmer and created a Recreation Ground to be used for the Maghull Cricket and Football teams and that is where Maghull played their games for the next 27 years. A Pavilion was built that housed Dressing Rooms and a Tea Bar.

In the 1928/29 Season Maghull were Champions of the Second Division and were duly promoted to the I Zingari First Division but unfortunately in the next season they finished bottom and were relegated back down to the Second Division. It was not until the 1933/34 season that they were again Second Division Champions and promoted back into the First Division.

The 1934/35 Season was a good period where the team finished in the runners-up spot in the League and were winners of the I Zingari and Liverpool County FA Amateur Cups. The venue for the Liverpool Cup game was played at Everton’s Goodison Park.

In the October of 1935 a fund-raising event was started and in the space of one year enough money was raised for a Stand housing eighty people to be built. The Stand was officially opened on the 10 October 1936. Spectators were charged 3 pence admission into the ground and 4 pence for a seat in the stand.

The team lost in the 1937/38 Lancashire Amateur Cup final when the game was played at Preston North Ends Deepdale ground. They did however, win the Cup in 1948/49 when the game was played at Everton’s Goodison Park. In 1956/57 they were runners-up in the same Cup and in 1957/58 they were winners. Both these games were played at Southport’s Haigh Avenue who were a Football League Club at the time.

After thirty-eight years in the I Zingari Football League, the Club joined the Liverpool County Combination League. In the twelve years that the Club spent in this League they were League Champions once, Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup winners on two occasions, and Lancashire Amateur Cup runners-up once.

In 1972/73 the Club applied and received membership to the Lancashire Combination League. They were runners-up twice in the Lancashire County FA Bridge Shield. They did win the Lancashire Combination Challenge Cup in 1977/78.

In 1978/79 Maghull became members of the Cheshire County League but after only four years the Cheshire County League merged with the Lancashire Combination to form the new North West Counties League.

In 1989 the Club received a devastating blow when the Pavilion, Dressing Rooms and Clubhouse were a target for a vicious arson attack. Everything had been destroyed. Irreplaceable records and photographs charting the history of the Club were all lost. It was a difficult period in the Clubs history but the effort put in by the Club Officials and support received from so many were really helpful. Within one year the Club became the proud owners of a new Clubhouse and Dressing Rooms.

In the 1992/93 season the club were Champions of the North West Counties League Division 2 The Club won the Liverpool County FA Challenge Cup in 1979/80, 1980/81, 1985/86 and 1993/94. They were runners-up three times in the Lamont Pils Trophy.

Seventeen years of North West Counties League membership was brought to a close when Maghull resigned in 1999 because it was not able to meet the Leagues ground requirements.

The club joined the West Cheshire League and were members for the last 25 years. They have won the West Cheshire League once and the Pyke Cup twice.

In the 2023/24 season Maghull applied for promotion to step 6, having just missed out on winning the league and also being beat in the final of the Pyke Cup we were rewarded with promotion to the NWCFL 1st Division North after achieving the required ground grading.

Our 1st year back in the 'counties' for 2024/25 was a great success with a 10th place finish we gave a good account of ourselves proving tough opposition for most teams in the league. Some well established sides came to visit, underestimated us a little, and left with nothing. We're here for the long haul and are chomping at the bit for more progress in 2025/26.

A number of years ago the Club embarked on setting up a junior section and this has proved a real success with a number of junior players making the step up to the first team. We run a mini-kickers session for children aged 4 to 6 where there are some 50 kids involved and there are 1st team players now that started their journey with us in those Mini Kickers sessions.

There are 14 girl’s teams aged between 7 and 16 and one Ladies team. We also have 28 boy’s teams aged between 7 and 16. Our 17 year and 18 year-old youth teams have performed well and brought great success recently with the U17 wining the treble in 2025/26 and the U18 doing the double in their final year of youth football. 2025/26 will prove another strong year for us at youth Football as we enter another U17 team in the Liverpool Premier League and 2 U18 sides in the West Cheshire Youth League.

The club will always prioritise providing an opportunity for our youth players to develop and progress into Adult football and remain with us as long as they wish, this is a proven model for us shown by players in our 3 vets teams (O35's, O45's & O50's) that have followed the same pathway.

Adding the vets sides with the youth, open age & inclusion teams we now operate a 3 Star FA Accredited club with over 50 affiliated teams, one of the biggest in the region, and our aim is to continue this growth and keep providing a pathway for the people in our community to enjoy Football at every level of the game.
