Radford Football Club is a football club based in the Nottingham inner-city area of Radford, England. The club is based at Selhurst Street, off Radford Road. They are nicknamed 'The Pheasants'.
The club was established in 1964 as a Sunday League side, Manlove & Alliots. In 1970 they became Radford Olympic and in 1977 became the first amateur club in Britain to be allowed to wear advertising on their shirts.
Following a move to Saturday football, they became champions of the East Midlands Regional League in 1983 and in 1984 the team won the Central Midlands League Senior Cup.
In 2003 the team became champions of the Central Midlands League Premier Division. From 2003–04, the club played its football in the Central Midlands League Supreme Division, and won the Central Midlands League Floodlit Cup in 2006.[1]
The team is currently managed by Paul Rawden. They were invited to join the new East Midlands Counties Football League for the 2008–09 season.[2] and joined the new league along with seven other Central Midlands League clubs.
