Tufnell Park F.C.


Tufnell Park Football Club was a football club based in London, England. One of the top amateur clubs in the country in the early 20th century, they merged with Edmonton Borough in 1950 to form Tufnell Park Edmonton.

History

The club was established in 1907 and joined Division One of the London League. They finished third in their first season in the division and were promoted to the Premier Division. However, the following season saw the club finish bottom of the Premier Division, resulting in relegation to Division One B. They were Division One B runners-up in 1909–10, also reaching the semi-finals of the FA Amateur Cup to form Edmonton & Haringey. This club was renamed Haringey Borough in 1976 and was briefly renamed Tufnell Park in 1995 before reverting to Haringey Borough the following year.

Colours

The club wore green and white, originally in hoops, but after the Second World War in quarters.

Ground

Following World War I, the club played at Campdale Road, groundsharing with London Caledonians. In 1938 they moved to Claremont Road, home ground of Golders Green. After World War II the club played at Cheshunt's Albury Ride ground for a short time before moving to the Barrass Stadium in Edmonton. When the club merged with Edmonton Borough, they continued playing at the Barrass Stadium.
