2014 - Still playing in the EMCFL, Radford's 50th anniversary celebrations included the installation of a brand new playing surface at Selhurst Street and a friendly against a Nottingham Forest XI. Funding for the surface was secured through the Lottery Foundation and has really benefitted the club while once again, bringing local attention to Radford Football Club. The current first team management team consists of Glenn Russell, John Shepard, Alf Stacey and Neil Shoebridge. A fantastic 50th anniversary year was completed with Radford finishing 3rd in the EMCFL, their highest ever league position. The finish has also ensured FA cup football will be played at Selhurst street for the 15/16 season.
