History

Early years

John Bruce Skinner founded Enfield Football Club in August 1893 as Enfield Spartans, and the club spent its initial season playing friendlies.

The start of the 1894-95 season saw the club play league football for the first time when it joined the Tottenham & District Junior Alliance League.

The club made the move to the larger Tucker’s Field and joined the North Middlesex League in 1896. In 1900 the club dropped the Spartans from the end of its name and also made the move to Cherry Orchard Lane. This picked things up at the club and in the 1901-02 and 1902-03 seasons it won back-to-back league titles and so attained ‘senior’ status.

The 1903 saw the club join the London League Division 2. It won the title in 1911 and so gained promotion to the Premier Division.

Most of the next 50 years, the club played in the Athenian League. The Athenian League was an English Amateur football league in and around London.

Isthmian League years

They enjoyed little success until the arrival of Thomas Lawrence in the early 1960s. Lawrence was a charismatic centre forward who attracted much stronger players to the club. His career as a player was cut short when he fractured his skull playing for Great Britain in an Olympic Games qualifier. Successful as a manager, he did even better later in business. Lawrence's arrival was the origin of the success of Enfield FC, that lasted 30 years. It was not until 1961-62 that the club won the league title for the first time, and a second successive title in 1962-63 won them entry to the Isthmian League. History The league was founded in 1905 and was strongly dedicated to Amateurism. They won seven further league titles, and were one of the first two Isthmian League clubs to join the Alliance Premier League (now the Football Conference) in 1981.
