Frickley Athletic F.C.
Encyclopedia : F : FR : FRI : Frickley Athletic F.C.
Frickley Athletic F.C. is a football club based in South Elmsall, in West Yorkshire, England. They were established in 1910 as Frickley Colliery F.C. They changed to their present name in 1974.
They reached the third round of the FA Cup in the 1985-86 season, following an away win at league club Hartlepool United. The club went on to be eliminated from the competition by Rotherham United. This is their best performance in the competition so far. They currently play in the Northern Premier League. Frickley's home ground is found on Westfield Lane and has recently been renamed The Millennium Worldwide Stadium following the biggest sponsorship deal in their history. The road is notorious for its derelict properties and half-demolished rows of terraces. Visitors must travel past these houses on their way to the ground.
One well known former player and manager is Geoff Sleight, who later became Chief Scout at Leeds United. Other notable names associated with the club include Mick Wadsworth, Gary Hooley and Keith Whiteley.
The club is namechecked in the song "Frickley", by Chumbawumba.
