Southall F.C. is a football club based in Southall in the London Borough of Ealing, England. They were founded in 1871.

History

The club joined the Southern Football League in 1896 and also fielded sides in the Middlesex Football League and London Football League concurrently. After leaving the league in 1905, they played in a variety of leagues around Greater London until settling in the Athenian League. They became founding members of the Isthmian League Second Division. Never reaching the top level, they were finally relegated out of the league entirely following a last place finish in the bottom division in 2000. They joined the Combined Counties League, but were expelled in March 2006 and their record expunged due to financial irregularities. However, the club was able to clear its debts and continue to operate.

Beginning with the 2006-07 season, they re-emerged in the Middlesex County League Premier Division, two levels below their previous league.

Southall reached the 1st round of the FA Cup six times, and in the 1935-36 season, they reached the 3rd round, losing to Watford. The club also reached the final of the FA Amateur Cup in 1924-25 and reached the semifinals on two other occasions. After the demise of the FA Amateur Cup, Southall also had success in the FA Vase, reaching the final in 1985-86. However, they have only won two out of 20 Vase matches since their cup run.

The club's most famous ex-player is the former QPR and England striker Les Ferdinand, who started his career at Southall.

A recent Bollywood film, called Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal has been made based on Southall FC. Although the name of the club used in the film is the same as Southall FC, it has nothing to do with this FC.
