TOOTING & MITCHAM UTD — Tooting & Mitcham F.C. was formed in 1932 when two local clubs, Tooting Town and Mitcham Wanderers, amalgamated. The merged club remained in the London League until joining the Athenian League in 1937. In 1938 the Surrey Senior Cup was won for the first time, the team beating Dulwich Hamlet 2-1. Wartime then brought a mixture of friendly matches and a league called the South East Combination. The London Senior Cup was won in 1943 when Dulwich Hamlet were defeated 5- 4. When the Second World War ended the club returned to the Athenian League and were Champions in 1950 and 1955. They also reached the F.A. Cup First Round Proper for the first time in 1948 unluckily losing by 1-0 at Millwall and in 1950 reached the First Round Proper again with their first ever home tie against Football League opposition Brighton & Hove Albion, losing 3-2. Originally playing in white shirts, today's broad black and white stripes, the original colours of Tooting Town FC, were adopted in 1956 to coincide with the club’s election to the Isthmian League. That season saw the club reach the F.A. Cup Second Round Proper losing to Queens Park Rangers. In the 1957-58 season they were crowned Isthmian League Champions but the club was hit by tragedy when star goalkeeper Dave Moore was killed in a car crash soon after the title was won. In season 1958-59 the club reached the 3 rd round proper of the F.A. Cup for the first time in its history beating Football League Clubs Bournemouth and Northampton Town. In the third round they were drawn at home to Nottingham Forest, one of the top clubs in the country, and led the First Division side 2-0 at half-time but an own goal and a very controversial penalty for handball enabled Forest to scramble a draw. In the replay, played before a crowd of 42,362, the Midlands side won 3-0 and they went on to lift the F.A. Cup at Wembley. The 1959-60 campaign was one of the best in the club’s history. The Isthmian League Championship was won for the second time and the Terrors reached four Cup-Finals, winning two the London Senior and Surrey Senior Cups. Striker Paddy Hasty played for the Great Britain Olympic team in the 1960 summer Olympics and was the last player to score a goal for Team GB until 2012. Tooting & Mitcham were the first amateur side to reach the London Challenge Cup for over 30 years losing 2-1 to Chelsea in the Final at Stamford Bridge. A BRIEF HISTORY In March 1962 the club switched on their brand new floodlights against Arsenal. The following season the Club had a record 11-0 win over Welton Rovers in the Amateur Cup, the Tooting team containing several England Amateur Internationals. The side's young goalkeeper, Alex Stepney, was a local lad who had come through the Tooting ranks and at the end of the 1962-63 campaign went on to join Millwall, Manchester United and the full England side against Sweden. Dario Gradi, who had an illustrious career as manager of Crewe Alexandra also played for the Terrors in the early 1960’s. The 1974-75 season saw Tooting reach the F.A. Cup first round proper and lost narrowly 2-1 in front of a 10,000 plus crowd at Sandy Lane. The following season the club under the guidance of Roy Dwight had their best ever run in the F.A. Cup, reaching the 4 th round proper where they lost 3-1 to Bradford. The club also had their best ever run in the F.A. Trophy losing in the quarter-final’s away to the eventual winners Scarborough 1-0. The club won the Surrey Senior Cup three seasons on the trot in 1976, 1977 and 1978.thus being the first club to achieve this. In the 1988-89 campaign the club were relegated for the first time in its history. The 1996-97 term saw relegation to the Second Division. The 2000-1 campaign was better with the 6 th round of the F.A. Vase reached and under the guidance of Keith Boanas and Ian Hazel the Ryman League Division Two Championship was won. The club moved into its new home at Imperial Fields for the start of the 2002-03 season. After going close to promotion in 2005-06, losing to Tonbridge in the Play-offs, manager Richard Cadette was replaced by the hugely experienced Billy Smith (who was skipper of Tooting's 1975-76 F.A. Cup side) and George Wakeling. In Billy and George's first season the Club won both the London Senior Cup and the Surrey Senior Cup and a fantastic unbeaten league run saw the club reach the Play-off Final losing to Hastings United 2-0. The Play-off Finals were reached again in 2007-8 this time a Paul Vines goal secured promotion. The London Senior Cup was also retained. At this time the club also produced a superstar by the name of Michail Antonio who came through the ranks and signed for Reading, and has subsequently starred in the Championship for Nottingham Forest. In 2009-10 the club reached the First Round Proper of the F.A. Cup again going down to Stockport County 5-0. Billy and George left the club and Mark Beard was appointed manager in May 2010. Beard was relieved of his position in December 2011 and former West Ham player Kenny Brown was appointed the new manager. However, Tooting were relegated at the end of the 2011–12 season. Three more managers followed (Roberto Forzoni, Jamie Martin and Phil Simpson) but all were unable to turn the clubs fortunes round. Craig Tanner took over in the summer of 2013 at the age of 27 assisted by Adam Moriarty. 11th position was reached in their first two seasons. New manager Frank Wilson and assistant Mark Hams took over for the 2015-16 season.
