Notable former players include David Beckham & Josh Scowen who both played for the youth team,[1] and Ryan Kirby.

A brick clubhouse was built in 1958, allowing the club to donate its existing wooden building to a local scout group, which is still in use.

In 1982–83, the club finished third in the league and won the London Intermediate Cup, gaining Senior Status and promotion to the Premier Division.

However, this successful management team were unceremoniously dismissed at the end of that season by the then club chairman on the very night that the Spartan League Championship Shield was presented to them.

Margolis went back to Ilford in January 2006, and Gordon Boateng and Rudi Geohagen were appointed and brought an influx of new players and the club rose from a mid-table position to finish the season in fifth place.

In the FA Cup, the club's most significant season, was in their first season of entry 1991–92, when after holding St. Albans City of the Diadora League Premier Division to a 1–1 draw away at Clarence Park in the second qualifying round, they defeated them 2–1 in the replay, and in the third qualifying round were drawn against Chesham United also of the Diadora Premier Division at home and again achieved a 2–2 draw after being 2–0 down in 15 minutes, but lost the replay 2–1.

In the FA Vase in the first season in the competition in 1984–85, the club reached the Second Round only to lose to the holders Stansted in a replay after conceding a late equalising goal in injury time in the first game.

The youth section has regularly enjoyed success at both League and County level since its formation and its most famous product is David Beckham, the Manchester United and England star who also played for Real Madrid.

From the same team in which David played, Micah Hyde (Watford) now with Burnley and Jason Brissett (Walsall) both made the professional ranks whilst Ryan Kirby had spells at Arsenal, Doncaster Rovers, Stevenage Borough and Aldershot and Ian Wiles, a more recent product of the youth section, signed for Colchester United.

Beckham presented memorabilia to the club including a shirt bearing his name and original squad number of 28, which was later stolen from the clubhouse.

Town's plans to move into the larger QE2 stadium in Enfield caused fears for the future of Rovers, who would not have been able to survive without the groundshare.
