The history of Hazel Grove United kicks off like an extract from the pages of "Roy of the Rovers". The club was founded in 1958 when a group of lads made a house to house collection to raise funds and launched themselves onto the local footballscene.

In their very first season, the Under 16's won the double comprising of the League Championship & Cup in the old Y.O.C. League's junior section.

Following this early success Hazel Grove United has been renowned as a club which has been at it's best when playing in the sudden death atmosphere of Cup & League competitions.The clubs trophy cabinet has seen countless prizes won over the years. Over a remarkable 12 year period between 1962 and 1974 the club emerged as winners in three Haslem Cup Finals (season 1962/1963; 1967/1968; & 1973/1974), capturing two Stockport Amateur League titles (season 1969/1970 & 1973/1974.

The clubs crowning glory, perhaps came at the end of the 1976/1977 season by winning a coveted treble comprising of the Stockport Metro League Premier Championship, Stockport & Cheadle Sunday League Division 3 Title as well as picking up the SKF Cup.

With so many fine players having pulled on a Grove shirt over the years we are now looking to support the next generation of players available to us from witin our thriving junior section. The prospects, in supporting local youngsters from the age of 5-17, have never looked brighter. They are encouraged to learn & enjoy themselves as well as to compete and a number of age groups have been rewarded already with League & Cup success in competing in the Stockport Metro Junior League.

The Club is continuing to develop junior football in the area, setting up an academy for the Under 5-7 age groups, and more recently, an Under 11 girls team to compete in the South Manchester Girls League. Training is also available for younger girls and more teams are expected to be formed.

We are proud to be able to give the village of Hazel Grove a Football Club worthy of it's name.
