The History of Long Melford Football Club: 1900-1919

By the start of the 20th century, Long Melford had already won the Suffolk Senior Cup on three occasions and a third victory came in the 1908/09.

Melford continued to thrive throughout both war periods playing at different venues throughout the village.

There was always great rivalry between Sudbury and Long Melford and some of the games would attract in excess of 2000 spectators.
