Yeovil Town Football Club was formed in 1985 although they were originally known as Yeovil Casuals. After joining forces with another local team in 1914, the club became known as Yeovil and Petters United and shortly after the First World War they moved to The Huish - the ground with the famous sloping pitch where so many FA Cup giankillings took place.
The club changed its name to Yeovil Town in 1946 and in the 1948-49 season they began their reputation as FA Cup fighters after Alex Stock led them to an unlikely 2-1 win against Sunderland.
The Glovers were Southern League champions on three occasions - 1955, 1964 and 1971, while they became founder members of the Alliance Premier League (later named the Conference) in 1979, but were relegated in 1985.
Yeovil Town returned as champions of the Isthmian League in 1988, and moved to their plush new Huish Park ground in 1990 and a long list of FA Cup scalps were taken during that decade.
They won the FA Trophy in 2002 and a year later they secured their place in the Football League under manager Gary Johnson after winning the title by 17 points. Yeovil then finished a creditable 8th in their first season in the Football League but eclipsed that in the following campaign by winning the title to register yet another promotion.
