Wombwell F.C.

The club was formed in 1920 and was [1] the second senior team to represent the village, after Wombwell Town became defunct in the 1900s.

Wombwell spent 12 seasons in the Midland League, in which time they won the Sheffield & Hallamshire Senior Cup and reached the 1st round of the FA Cup in 1930, being knocked out by Wellington Town the current Telford Utd, 3–0 after a replay.

In 1934, with debts of £1,969, assets of £18, and a ground repossessed in lieu of outstanding rent, the club withdrew from the Midland League and dissolved; the motion was put by Councillor Pascoe, who had scored the club's first Midland League goal.

[9] In 1927 the club changed its jerseys to blue and white stripes[10] due to its affiliation with Sheffield Wednesday, which it retained after the relationship came to an end.

[14] One locally famous supporter was the "Chocolate Boy", E. Merriweather, who used to sell sweets from a tray hung around his neck at every home game.
