Margate Football Club History
The original Margate Football Club History website, created some 20 years ago, drew plaudits from across the football world. After a period of inactivity, the site, now under new ownership, has been updated and enhanced.
It includes details of every competitive match played since the club’s formation in 1896 until this year. There are also more than 1,100 in-depth player profiles (some of whom also played at the highest level of the sport), reports on memorable matches, special features, galleries of images as well as player and supporter memories.
Learn how Margate FC became Arsenal’s nursery club in the 1930s or the night England’s World Cup-winning trio of Hurst, Moore and Peters played at Hartsdown Park.
It is all here, the highs - FA Cup giant-killings, league titles and big crowds - to the lows - relegations, financial woes and homelessness. Every aspect of the club’s existence is documented on the site, which is now on a new, easy to navigate platform.
