[3] During their spell in this league former England player Mike Pejic took over as manager, Leek's most high-profile appointment to date, but he had only a short reign before moving to Northwich Victoria.

[6] Following Kevin Lewis' brief reign Neil Baker took over in 1986 and was to lead the club to some of its greatest successes to date.

The club's crest features a garb and a Staffordshire knot, both of which are elements of the town's arms,[14] as well as a caduceus, a symbol which appears on token coins issued in Leek in the 18th century.

Changing rooms were constructed in the 1950s (previously the players had been obliged to change in a nearby pub), along with the first covered accommodation for spectators, and floodlights (which had previously belonged to the defunct Rugby Town) were erected in 1972, soon after which the stadium was renamed Harrison Park after former club chairman Geoff Harrison.

[18] The ground was renamed to the F Ball Community Stadium, following the change of surface from grass to ATP in 2021.
