History

Formed on 1 October 1888, they are the most successful club on the island with 29 league titles and 31 victories in the Manx FA Cup. They were the first winners of the Isle of Man Football League in 1897.

The club has a reserve team that plays in the Isle of Man Football Combination. They also have a ladies team and a 15–17 team.

Amongst the many players who have appeared for the club, the two most famous are Tony Williams and Rick Holden. Williams scored 24 goals for the first team in 1958 in only ten appearances prior to compiling the Rothmans Football Yearbook and the Football League Club Directory. Holden, who appeared for Oldham Athletic and Manchester City amongst his professional clubs, scored 47 goals for Peel's first team in 48 appearances (1996–97) and later had two spells as manager. He resigned in August 2010 and was replaced by Peter Kennaugh.
