History


1946–1969: Formation and early origins

The earliest roots of Walton Casuals Football Club lead back to
World War II World War II or the Second World War, often abbreviated as WWII or WW2, was a world war that lasted from 1939 to 1945. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing ...

area. They decided to form an "illegal" Sunday football team, who would go on to play friendlies against other "illegal" teams throughout the 1946–47 and 1947–48 seasons. They adopted the name White City FC, due to the outside walls of their houses being painted that colour. In 1948, they decided to become a legitimate Saturday club, and Walton Casuals as they are currently known were founded. They became affiliated with the
Surrey County Football Association The Surrey County Football Association was founded in 1877 and affiliated to The Football Association in 1882, at the same time as a County Senior Cup competition, the Surrey Senior Cup, was established. The organisation administers all levels o ...
and acquired the use of a pitch at Elm Grove Recreation Ground. The club started off in Division One of the Surrey Intermediate (Central) League and gained promotion to the Premier Division in 1952–53. Walton Casuals would go on to finish as runners-up on 3 occasions: 1954–55, 1956–57 and 1964–65. The Surrey Intermediate (Central) League disbanded in 1965 and the club moved into the League's Western Section for three seasons.


1969–1992: Various leagues

In 1969, the Casuals joined the new

The 1982–83 season saw the Casuals win their first major honour, becoming champions of the Suburban League Southern Section and setting a league record of going 23 games unbeaten under manager Kim Harris.

1992–2002: Entering the football pyramid

Subsequent years saw the club slip into a steady decline, regularly finishing in the bottom two of the Suburban League. After 21 years of competing in the Suburban League, the club decided to switch to the Surrey Premier League in June 1992 to join the pyramid system. A year of consolidation paved the way for major changes at Franklyn Road the following summer, as Kim Harris was reappointed as manager after a successful spell at Hersham RBL and the club expanded into both Sunday and youth football. In 1993–94, the Casuals won the Surrey Premier League Challenge Cup, defeating Holmesdale after a replay, and in 1994–95 the club finished runners-up to

, and the first four seasons proved a real struggle. Finishing bottom of the league in 1996–97, the club avoided relegation thanks to the Combined Counties League exercising its prerogative to maintain a minimum number of clubs in the Premier Division. With the help of local charities, the installation of floodlights at Franklyn Road was completed in February 1999 – a major hurdle overcome as far as ground requirements were concerned. The appointment of Mick Sullivan and Garry Clark as joint managers in the summer of 1999 brought about a dramatic improvement in results. As well as a best-ever finish of 5th in the league, the club won the League Cup in 2000, beating Viking Greenford 4–2 in the final . The following season was also a relatively successful one, with a placing of 7th in the table and another appearance in the League Cup final, beaten 3–0 by double-winners

Collins was able to secure the club's safety with a comfortable 18th-placed finish, but announced his intentions to step down from his management position at the end of the season to focus on his last few playing seasons. Assistant manager Huckle left the club to join Redhill.

Colours and badge

The team's original crest was introduced in 1973 and contained the motto "Suprr Omnis Superbia", an incorrectly-spelt Latin translation of the phrase "Pride above all". The shield shaped crest included a stag to remember the founding members of the club, many of whom would play football locally on Selwyn Green. Named after John Selwyn – a gamekeeper at

The crest kept many aspects of the original badge, including the stag, but was designed circular and without orange and black stripes in the background. The club's nickname of "The Stags" was officially acquired after winning the Combined Counties Football League in the 2004–05 season. The club traditionally has an orange, black and white colourway.

Stadium

Walton Casuals played their home games at the Elmbridge Sports Hub, Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, KT12 2JP. The club moved into the stadium for the 2017–18 season following a two-year, £20 million redevelopment on the site of their former Waterside Stadium. The stadium was shared with Walton & Hersham, as well as the local athletics club with an eight-lane Olympic standard athletics track. The club first played at Elm Grove Recreation Ground until 1969, before moving into Franklyn Road – the former name of the Waterside Stadium. In 1972, they groundshared with Walton & Hersham for the season at Stompond Lane, before spending eight years at

Honours

Walton Casuals' most successful season came in 2004–05, when they won the Combined Counties League Premier Division title.
