'More than a club' non-league side celebrates 100 years of football

In 1921 two ambitious men set out with a dream to start a football club in Maghull.

Through fires and relegation battles Maghull FC has defied the odds and unlike many of their non-league contemporaries is still thriving to this day. The club marked its centenary last week after the celebrations were delayed by the pandemic.

Former manager turned Chairman Ron Young, who has been at the club since 1969, doesn't credit the club's longevity to on-the-pitch success or a burgeoning trophy cabinet.
