History

The club was founded in 1958, by John French, and they began life as members of the Woking & District League. After achieving Intermediate status, they joined the Surrey Intermediate League (Western) in 1967.

The club was a founding member of the Home Counties League in 1978, which was renamed a year later to the Combined Counties League. They are currently members of the Combined Counties League Division One.

The Jam played some of their early gigs at the clubhouse, before releasing their breakthrough song "In The City". Paul Weller, Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler all went to Sheerwater Secondary School which is now called The David Brown Secondary School and is situated adjacent to Sheerwater Football Club.
