History

Litherland Remyca Football Club started life in the Seaforth area of Liverpool as St Thomas F.C. (1959) playing in the Church of England League. Players were recruited mainly from Seaforth and Bootle and the team later became known as Bootle C.L.B. (Church Lads Brigade). The founder members of Remyca Utd, Bill and Ken Edwards, acted as managers having recently given up their playing careers. The area, predominantly working class, provided an abundance of talented amateur players and links were formed with Bootle YMCA which provided a club base and facilities to train. In 1967 the team again changed its name to REM Social as a local workingman’s club offered to finance the running of the club. One year later REMYCA UTD F.C. came into being, the name derived from connections with both REM Social Club and Bootle YMCA. The team entered the Third Division of the I Zingari Alliance League and became Champions at the first attempt. Thereafter, successive championships followed culminating in acceptance into the I Zingari League that was regarded as a higher standard of football.

The First XI made steady progress through the divisions earning a reputation for playing open and attractive football. The I Zingari Challenge Cup was claimed in the 1975/76 season as Remyca Utd began to establish itself as a force within amateur football on Merseyside. The formation of a Premier League led to the club being invited to become inaugural members. This demanded improved playing facilities and the club left its spiritual home at Moss Lane, Litherland to move to Maghull High School. A former player, Steve Smith, became manager and began building a squad capable of competing with the best amateur sides in the region. Steve is still with us to this day, in charge of one of our Under 16’s teams.

Remyca Utd became the I Zingari League Champions in the 1987/88 season and in 1991 became one of the few Merseyside Teams to win the all Lancashire FA Amateur Cup. The 1990s was a significant period in the club’s history, and the most successful, as both Premier League and Cup doubles were achieved in seasons 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 followed by again winning the Challenge Cup in the 1998/99 season. This period of dominance and success resulted in Remyca Utd seeking entry to the Liverpool County Combination League to test itself at a higher level again. The club returned after a while to it’s local level after a number of structural re-organisations. The club over recent years worked its way up to the upper echelons of the local leagues. Under various names and guises, Remyca Utd has been established for close to over 50 years. Special mention must go to Bill and Ken Edwards, founder members who started the original aims of a platform for competitive football for local people of all ages and abilities.

Remyca are based at Litherland Sports Park, which is one of the finest facilities within the region providing a wide range of activities for all ages and abilities, encouraging use by the local community and performance athletes alike. Our mid-long term aims though are to work with local councils to identify a site and build a community facility for all sides under the Remyca banner as well as the local area.

In 2013 the Management Committee of REMYCA began exploring the potential to grow and develop the club. Social and cultural changes had impacted on grass roots football with many teams, clubs and even leagues folding due to lack of support. The basis for a sustainable club was clearly a community based model offering football opportunity with good coaching to all ages from 7 years upwards. The first stage of the new development plan was to add Litherland to the club name so as to identify with the local area and enhance the community ethos of the club. A key appointment was Colin Begbie as head of youth development who’s experience and network of football contacts has proven invaluable. The longer term plan is to achieve Community Charter Standard status and the journey has commenced extremely well.

In line with aspirations to compete at the highest level the club applied to be promoted to step 6 of the Football Pyramid and enter the North West Counties Football League. A tremendous amount of work being undertaken to finance and fabricate a 50 seater spectator stand at Litherland Sports Park. The club got the required league position for admission and in our first season in non-league we reached 9th in the league and a divisional cup final. An amazing year of development also witnessed the junior section grow and girls and open age women’s teams are now part of the Remyca set-up. There are currently 28 teams from under 6s to Veterans playing under the REMYCA banner, a fantastic achievement and testimony to the passion, commitment and hard work of a fantastic group of people.

This is our third season in the now Hallmark Security League and positions have improved as we have progressed, last season we narrowly missed out in the promotion play-offs to the Premier Division when 1300+ people descended on Litherland Sports Park for the final. The future is looking solid for Litherland Remyca built on historic and lasting foundations
