History: |
|
Worcester City were formed on 3rd September
1902.
They won the Worcestershire Cup every year from 1908 to
1914. In 1914 they won the league as well. They won the
championship for a second time in 1924/25.
They
won the championship again in 1929/30 when they scored
153 goals in 34 league games and won every home match.
That was the last time they won the championship but they
were runners-up three years in a row after that. In 1938
the club switched to the Southern League. They won the
Southern League Cup in 1940.
In
1958/59 they made it to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup,
beating Millwall and Liverpool before they got knocked
out by Sheffield United. In 1977 they won the Division
One North Championship and two years later they became
the Southern League Premier Division champions. In 1998/99
they finished in the top ten of the Dr Martens league
for the fifth year in a row. This is a record that no
other club in that league can match. Since then, the club
has maintained respectable finishes of eighth in both
2001 and 2002, sixth in 2003 and fifth in 2004.
