Haringey Borough—A Brief History It was not until 1970 that a team played under the name of Haringey Borough when Wood Green Town who had played at Coles Park since 1930 changed their name to Haringey Borough while playing in Intermediate football. But the roots of the Club go back to 1907 when Tufnell Park FC was formed and joined the London League in which it played until 1914 and from 1912 to 1914 a team was also entered into the Athenian League. Wood Green Town was itself a breakaway off-shoot of Tufnell Park in 1911, playing under the name of Tufnell Spartans until 1920. After many name changes and amalgamations which at various times saw the ancestors of the present Club playing in the Isthmian, Athenian, Spartan and Delphian Leagues on a number of different grounds the two Clubs merged in 1973 and played at Coles Park, briefly under the name of Edmonton & Haringey FC until 1976 when the present name was adopted. The Club played in the Athenian League until that Competition closed and they were admitted into the Isthmian League Division 2 North in 1984, remaining in membership for four years but being unable to fulfil their fixtures in 1988/89 due to a mass exodus of management and players just a few weeks before the start of that season. After a year in the wilderness they were admitted to the Spartan League in 1989 retaining Premier Division membership throughout until the South Midlands League merger in season 1997/98 when they finished 7th in the Premier Division South to secure membership of the new “combined” Premier Division in 1998/99. Premier Division status was retained until the end of season 2006/07 when the Club’s regular flirting with danger finally failed to provide the customary last gasp escape and relegation to Division One ensued, largely due to disastrous early results but the major improvement in the latter stages left us one point adrift of safety. The team bounced back with promotion at the very first attempt and a fine season ended with promotion and winning the Division One Cup. Back in the Premier Division for the season 2008/09 the Club again quickly found itself among the relegation strugglers leading to the appointment of the current Manager – the vastly experienced Tom Loizou. The bottom places were again just avoided but 2009/10 produced a better showing and after a poor start the efforts of the team produced a marked improvement after the enforced winter break owing to the inclement weather. A good run of results thereafter and particularly a run of 7 unbeaten games in April led to the club finishing 15 th in the Division , the highest for several years. Better was to follow in 2010/11 when 8th place was achieved and the Club entered 2011/12 with Tom Loizou at the helm for the 4 th season and with realistic hopes of making a challenge for the sole promotion spot which until home defeats around Christmas by the 2 front runners looked to be a serious possibility. Once it became clear that it was not on the opportunity was taken to field teams with the following season in mind and several defeats inevitably followed although the final placing of 5th represented their best ever performance in the Spartan South Midlands League; and the winning of the League Challenge Trophy was an exciting end of season bonus. 2012/13 was the last season in the Spartan South Midlands League as the FA moved the Club sideways into the Essex Senior League in the following close season and runners-up spot was achieved at the first attempt in 2013/14 along with being the runners-up in the League's Gordon Brasted Memorial Trophy. The calendar year 2014/15 saw Borough win more League games (38 out of 41 and 1 drawn) to give them the best record of any Senior Club in the Country. The Championship of the Essex Senior League was won in 2014/15 resulting in promotion to level 4 of the National Game Pyramid and entry to the Ryman League Division One North in 2015/16. After a worrying opening with only 7 points collected from the first 17 League games a massive improvement saw the total increased to 50 and mid-table security by the end of the season. Season 2016-17 saw the club lose out in the play offs to Maldon & Tiptree.
