The club was founded by E. H. Greenhalgh, a former Notts County back,[1] in the 1870s; the club claimed a foundation date of 1870,[2] which may have been when the workers at Greenhalgh's factory started playing football, and vice-chairman W. Day in 1892 claimed to have been a member for over 40 years.

[3] Certainly the factory's first athletic event took place in 1873[4] and a Greenhalgh's football club was playing other sides under Sheffield rules by 1874.

[8] The club wore amber and blue jerseys, which it sold to Mansfield Wesleyan on its dissolution.

[9] The club played at a pitch on the New Cricket Ground at Field Mill, which had been the site of Greenhalgh's factory since at least 1846.
