Club history
The club was formed by workers from Longwell Green Coachworks, whose name was adopted for the team in 1966 after the great upsurge of interest in football following England's World Cup success against West Germany in the World Cup Final at Wembley. The team, then known as Longwell Green Sports FC, started in the old regional Bristol Saturday League and then moved to the Bristol and District League in the mid-1970s gaining promotion at regular intervals until winning their first major championship in 1983 when lifting the Division Four crown.
