IT'S HARD TO TO REALLY SAY MUCH ABOUT THE BIRTH OF FC WANDERERS WITHOUT REFERRING BACK TO OUR ROOTS SO TO SPEAK.

FOR AROUND TWELVE YEARS GIVE OR TAKE, I (THE MANAGER) PLAYED FOR A TEAM KNOWN THEN AS ST THOMAS WANDERERS.

BY THE TIME I STARTED MY SECOND SEASON WITH THE CLUB, WE WERE THE NEWLY NAMED CIVIL SERVICE WANDERERS.

SKIP FORWARD A FEW MORE YEARS, WE WERE THEN RENAMED SHEFFIELD WANDERERS. THROUGH ALL THOSE YEARS, THE WANDERERS NAME STUCK AND THAT WAS WHY IT SEEMED FITTING TO KEEP THAT GOING UNDER A NEW TEAM WITH A SIMPLE, TO THE POINT NAME...

FC WANDERERS.

​

SOME GREAT PLAYERS CAME AND WENT THROUGH THOSE TWELVE YEARS, WHETHER IT BE RELOCATING, WORK OR FAMILY COMMITMENTS ETC.

WHEN THE IDEA CAME TO START UP A NEW TEAM, IT MADE NOTHING BUT SENSE TO CONTACT SOME OF THOSE PLAYERS WHO HAD LEFT IN YEARS GONE BY AND SEE IF THEY FANCIED LACING UP THE BOOTS ONCE AGAIN.

LUCKILY, THE GENERAL ANSWER WAS YES AND FROM THERE THE FOUNDATIONS WERE CEMENTED TO REALLY PURSUE THIS IDEA.

FROM THERE WE FOUND A HANDFUL MORE PLAYERS TO HELP US PUT TOGETHER A SQUAD AND SPONSORS WHO HAVE HELPED US PUSH ON QUICKLY TO GET IN EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR A NEW TEAM STARTING FROM SCRATCH.

​

WE PLAY OUR GAMES IN THE SHEFFIELD AND DISTRICT FAIR PLAY LEAGUE. GAMES ARE PLAYED ON SATURDAY MORNINGS AND WHILST IT IS NOT A SEMI PRO LEAGUE, THE STANDARD IS A VERY GOOD ONE THAT IS IMPROVING YEAR ON YEAR.

​

WE CURRENTLY PLAY OUR HOME GAMES AT MOUNT ST MARY'S COLLEGE WHICH IS SITUATED IN SPINKHILL, SHEFFIELD AND THE 2022/23 LEAGUE SEASON WILL BE OUR FIRST SEASON COMPETING AS A CLUB.
