Flitwick Eagles Football Club History
24th year since 1986
A Brief History
Flitwick Eagles FC was first started in 1986 when a group of 11 year old boys approached a chap called Tom Filben to help organise a football team. He did and they came up with the name of Flitwick Eagles
The Eagles were born!
Soon after setting up the Eagles, Tom moved home and passed the job onto Terry Wickens a father of one of the team. Terry had 2 sons, both of whom played for the Eagles.
As the word got around, of the newly formed club, more and more boys wanted to play for the Eagles and Terry approached me (Charlie Gazeley) to run another team. My eldest son started to play in this team and soon more and more boys became interested and wanted to join the Eagles. As soon as my younger son was old enough he also joined the Eagles and soon we were all hooked.
As interest grew new teams were being formed year after year and new managers came bringing more new players.
The club has grown from humble beginnings to its present day size, to a total 18 teams. There are 10 Boys teams ranging from U8’s to U15’s, 6 girls teams ranging from U10's to U16's and we also have senior Men' and Ladies Teams.
We play in various leagues such as the Milton Keynes, Filmergraphics, Chiltern Youth, Chiltern Junior Sevens, South Bed Saturday, BHWFL and Home Counties Girls leagues.
Flitwick Eagles are now one of the largest Charter Standard Clubs in Bedfordshire.
Over the years we have had many success stories, you can find some of them listed in the Trophy Room.
Our club is a community club and our policy is not to necessarily take on the best players but to provide the best facilities and coaching for all girls and boys regardless of ability.
On the 25th May 2005, the Flitwick Eagles FC became a registered Charity.
We also have an active social circle for parents and players. We use the club facilities when we like and hold various functions like children's parties, bingo, quiz nights, discos and loads more. Check out the Social Events page for current Eagles events.
