The History of Stonewall
Football Club
In March 1991 a gay amateur footballer
living in London put an advert in a gay publication asking
for like-minded people to contact him. He wanted to encourage
gay men to play competitive football and was amazed by
the number of replies he received.
Stonewall Football Club was born and was the first gay
mens football club in the UK.
The club joined the Sportsmans Senior Sunday Football
League that same year and have grown to the extent that
we have run up to four teams in a season.
We currently play against straight opposition in the Middlesex
County Football League, Premier Division (step 7 of the
non league pyramid table), the AFA West End Sunday League
and the friendly London Unity League with extra fixtures
in the GSFN Cup rounds. We have regular training nights,
5-a-side nights, football tours and social evenings.
We have a full dedicated committee.
We are the current British, European, World and Gay Olympic
Champions
