History

Euxton Villa FC can trace their roots back to 1907. Playing simply under the name Euxton, the club led a nomadic existence, playing at various venues around the village, before finally being able to buy three farmer's fields in 1985, thanks in part to a generous long term loan from Jim Fowler, hence the ground name, though sadly Jim did not live to see the investment blossom.
Some thirty five years ago, they merged with junior teams from the village, and the club continued organic growth to the present day, which sees an Euxton Villa of some forty five teams of boys, girls and open age on a much developed site, able to offer a route from early junior football right through into adult for boys and girls alike.
In 2002 we became Community Club, and proud to be one of the first in the country to attain this status. With the first team stepping up from the Preston and District League to the West Lancashire League, it was clear that further development was needed, and a fundraising drive coupled a Football Foundation grant resulted in the opening of the current clubhouse in 2008 by Chorley MP and Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle.
In 2012 Villa were voted Community Club of the Year, and the year after were awarded LFA Charter Standard Development Club of the Year and subsequently FA North West Region Club of the Year. The Club have since been awarded Tier 2 Status and have been selected as one of 150 Clubs nationwide for the FA Community Pilot Scheme. All of this, as is the case with most clubs, has only been possible thanks to an army of selfless and enthusiastic volunteers.
On the playing side, Euxton Villa as previously mentioned joined the West Lancashire League from The Preston District League, a huge step it seemed at the time, but under the stewardship of manager Mark McDonnell, back to back promotions were achieved in the first two seasons, and Villa remained a prominent member of the Prem for twenty years or so, winning the Richardson Cup, The Bolton Wanderers Goldline Trophy, and the prestigious Lancashire Amateur Shield along the way.
Mark held the manager role for over 25 years before moving upstairs to oversee the next chapter in the club’s development. Matt Atherton, a product of Villa's youth system and someone with an extensive knowledge of the semi pro game, returned as Player Coach, and the push for the next step began in earnest. Although plans were somewhat stymied by the pandemic, nevertheless a huge and ongoing investment of time and capital sees Euxton Villa embark a new adventure, in what is another massive step up to the NWCFL.
