Worcester Park Football Club is an English football club based in Worcester Park in the London Borough of Sutton, England and part of the Worcester Park Athletic Club. They are currently members of the Combined Counties League Division One and play at Skinners Field

History

The history of Worcester Park Football Club is rather vague. It appears that the club was founded in 1900, but became more established in 1921 when WPAC inherited the ground at Green Lane known as Skinners Field. Whether WPFC played at Skinners Field before 1921 is not known as it is believed that the field was part of church land.

In 1949 the football club was admitted to the old Surrey Senior League where it stayed throughout the fifties and early sixties before demotion to intermediate grade football. WPFC then became a founder member of the Surrey County Premier League in 1982 before its name change to the Surrey County Senior League in 2000. In 2003 it joined the Combined Counties League as part of the new Division 1.

In the earlier years the club was known as the Skinners, but for a long time now 'come on the Park' has been the call from the touchline.

The second team play in the Reserves division of the Surrey Elite Football Division and the third eleven (known as the 'A' team) play in the Surrey South Eastern Combination League Division 4. The club also provides for a number of junior teams and a vets side. The club currently plays its football in the Combined Counties League Division One.

On Tuesday 3 May 2011, the first team won the Combined Counties Division 1 title with a 4–1 victory over Cobham to win by 2 points (79).

For the season 15/16 Gary Taylor took on the role as first team manager and picked up the Division League Cup in his debut season.
