Welcome to Keyworth
United Community Football Club, one of the oldest and most
respected football clubs in Nottinghamshire and the proud
owners of the FA’s highly coveted Community Club status.
Today we field over twenty teams with the Under 19 team
playing in the M.A.A and two teams playing at senior level in
the Notts Senior League. There are also more than ten junior
sides playing in the Notts Youth and Young Elizabethan
Leagues and in the past few seasons we started our first ever
girls team. Since then, interest has been so great that
another three girls teams have been formed.
In line with our strong emphasis on development, our senior
teams regularly contain players who have grown and developed
through the junior teams, and three generations of some
families from Keyworth have played for our village club. As
we enter our second century, our profile has grown from being
a successful men’s football team within the village, to
having a profile that has seen more than twenty new teams
evolve, giving hundreds of people within the local area, the
opportunity to represent the village of Keyworth.
Our strong emphasis on
junior and youth development has also seen our players go on
to sign for Nottingham
Forest, Notts County, Derby County, Leicester City and
Sheffield United in recent years David Riley and Mick Waitt
also signed from Keyworth United and played professionally
for Nottingham Forest & Notts County respectively. Mick
has since gone on to coach at international level.
A number of ex-professional footballers have also donned the
green shirt, Sammy Chapman, John Galley and Brian Stubbs
played here and Frank Wignall managed the first team for a
while. Towards the end of 2001 we became a development centre
for Leicester City Football Club thus increasing our emphasis
on developing young players and we appointed a Youth
Development Officer.
We have since become a development centre for Derby County
Football Club and are one of the first clubs in England to
have been awarded with the prestigious Charter Standard
Community Club Status and in July 2004 we were awarded Notts
FA Community Club of the Year.
