History
Formed as a brickyard team based in Eye in the early 1900s, the club was initially named Peterborough Northam Star, before adopting the name Eye United. They joined the Peterborough & District League and in the 1960s moved to Lindisfarne Road. They were promoted to the Premier Division in 1973. In 1982 the club won the Northants Junior Cup, the last from the United Counties League to do so.
The club won the Premier Division three times at the end of the 1990s and start of the 2000s. In the 2000-01 season they won all 30 league matches, as well as the Peterborough Senior Cup and the Jack Hogg Charity Shield.
The club moved to its current ground in Dogsthorpe area of Peterborough in order to gain promotion to Division One of the United Counties League, which they achieved in 2003. In 2005 they were renamed Peterborough Northern Star, and reached the Northants Junior Cup again, losing to Wellingborough Town in the final. In 2007-08 they finished second in Division One, but were not promoted to the Premier Division due to ground grading issues.
