History
The Football Section was formed in 1922 and much of the credit for its formation goes to Roy Stuart. Roy was not only a good footballer, but a brilliant administrator as well and was Secretary of the Club for a record 18 years: 1922 - 1939. His backroom staff include R. L. Henderson and G. B. Morse.
The team first competed in the Southern Olympian League before being elected to the Southern Amateur League. Their nineteen thirties side included Eric Gilderson and Freddie Blake who were capped by England, Andy Sloan who played for Ireland and Viv Gibbons who was on West Ham’s books.
Their biggest success came in 1932/33 when they beat St Albans in the A.F.A. Cup Final by 3-1 at the Dulwich Hamlet Ground, seeing off Lewes, Carshalton, Basingstoke, Barclays Bank, among others en-route to the Final. The winning side was R. Giles (goal), G. Osborn, F. Blake, Wally Stevens, R. Woffenden, E. Gilderson, Clive and Reg Richardson, Andy Sloan and E. Bryant.
The Club had four sides in the forties with the Cricket supremo Les Hook as Secretary. Moving on to the fifties the Club were Southern Amateur League Champions in 1949/50 and 1952/53.
The team were beaten finalists in the 1969/70 Surrey Senior Cup thanks to the efforts of skipper Billy Willougby in a side that had Nick Rooks, Mickey Lill, John Hassett, John Brown, Tony Dew and Phil Coles, The side lost to Old Sinjuns by two goals to one after a drawn first game.
The seventies highlight was a trip to Holland during Easter 1971 and the decade saw new players arrive in the shape of Dave Gallon, Albert Jones, Doug Warren and Mick Evans.
The current CWFC consists of a Saturday and Sunday Veterans team and a Sunday league men’s team. As director of football, I have been tasked to create a new first team and enter a competitive league for 2020/21 season.
