AFC Totton History

Totton Football Club was formed in 1886 and became one of the founder members of the Hampshire F.A. when it was inaugurated, and was also one of the founder members of the New Forest League, formed in 1904. After the 1914/18 War they entered the Southampton Senior League and the New Forest League, and in 1920/21 joined the Hampshire League West.

The early matches were played at South Testwood Park before Totton moved to Testwood Park, on 30th December 1933. In 1975 they amalgamated with Totton Athletic, installed floodlights and opened a Club Room and Bar at the ground. Totton’s most successful season was in 1981/82 when they won Hampshire League Division 1 for the first time, the Russell Côtes Cup,
Hampshire Intermediate Cup, Southampton Senior Cup, Echo Trophy, Reg Mathieson Trophy and the Eastleigh 6-a-Side Shield.

Totton became one of the founder members of the Wessex League when it was formed in the 1986/87 season, finishing 3rd. Although the League title has continued to elude the Club, it has still performed well in Cup Competitions. The Medisport Wessex League Cup was won in 1989/90 and the Club was runners-up to Southern League Bashley in the Russell Côtes Cup in 1990/91.

This upturn in fortunes continued into 2000/01, with Totton again finishing 4th in the Wessex League. The Carlsberg FA Vase provided the Club with a good run, reaching the 4th Round. Season 2002/03 saw the Club enjoy a good FA Cup run before losing to Slough Town in a 1st Qualifying Round replay. The Club did gain some silverware though, beating League Champions Eastleigh 2-1 in the final of the Jewson Wessex Football League Cup.

In 2003/04 the Reserves had an excellent season, reaching the Final of the Southampton FA Senior (Saturday) Cup, but lost to Hampshire Premier League Champions VT FC in the Final.

2005/06 saw many changes in Team personnel and 4th place gained in the League, together with a fine run in the FA Cup and the winning of the Wessex League Cup for a third time. The Reserves also reached the Semi-Finals of the Southampton Senior Cup,
but again suffered defeat at the hands of a full- strength VT 1st Team.

2006/07, proved to be the most memorable in the history of the Club. In the League the 1st Team had a season long battle with Gosport, narrowly missing out on the title on goal difference, a bitter disappointment after having led the Table from October
until that eventful last week. But the highlight of the season had to be the reaching of the Final of the FA Carlsberg Vase at the New Wembley Stadium for the first time in the Club’s history. Sadly in front of a record 36,232 crowd for a Vase Final,
the Team had to settle for Runners-up after a thoroughly entertaining and skilful match against Truro City; a tremendous advert for the Non-League game.

2007/2008 was always going to be a challenge after the previous seasons achievements. However the team responded brilliantly, ultimately producing 36 points from 36 in March & April to secure our first ever Wessex League Championship, and promotion to the BGB Southern League.

Certainly the past two seasons will linger long in the memories of those lucky enough to be part of the adventure, and a glowing tribute to a dedicated Team and fantastic supporters.
