The original "Torquay Football Club" was formed after World War I, and its first colours were blue and white.

In 1952, Geo McCartney founded a junior Torquay FC team, while a senior squad was reformed in 1953.

The 2013 film Blinder was set around a fictional story about a group of players of the Torquay club.

Ten years after a scandal tore the fabric of the club apart, Tom Dunn returns home to face the townfolk who hadn't forgotten.

[2] Starring Oliver Ackland (as Tom Dunn) and Anna Hutchison, the film was not well received by critics, being negatively reviewed.
