[edit] History
Soon after the club's formation, they were entered into the Yorkshire Football League as a founding member in 1920. During the 1930s Selby were one of the most successful clubs in the league, winning it three times before World War II.
After the war the club managed to win two more Yorkshire League championships in 1952-53 and 1953-54 where they also reached the FA Cup 1st Round. During the 1954-55 season, they reached the Second Round of the FA Cup, the furthest in their history; they were knocked out by Hastings United 2-0.
The clubs record goalscorer is Graham Shepherd who notched up 158 goals between 1963 and 1982. They stayed in the Yorkshire League through its entirety, in 1982 the League became part of the new Northern Counties East Football League, which the Robins were drafted into. Selby became champions of the Northern Counties East League Division One in 1995-96 and currently remain in the league they were promoted to; Northern Counties East League Premier Division.
Selby Town's modern era has seen them reach the 4th round of the FA Vase in 1995-96, the same year they won the NCEL Division One Title. In recent seasons the club have flourished under the guidance of former Player Bob Lyon, winning the Presidents Cup, Barkston Ash Cup and The Vets over 40s all in 2001.
