Club History

Holyhead Hotspur was formed in 1990, initially playing in the Anglesey League. Towards the end of the 1980s, there were four adult football teams based in Holyhead and playing in various divisions of the North Wales Coast Football Association. A group of local football fans, led by Ken Chambers and Gary Williams, saw that efforts needed to be concentrated if a Holyhead football team was to carry on the proud tradition of the Harbourmen, the Holyhead football side of the 1950s and 1960s.

In 1997, following the success of Holyhead Hotspur in the Anglesey League and Gwynedd League, the club amalgamated with the other four clubs representing Holyhead to form Holyhead Hotspur, Holyhead Hotspur Reserves and the seven junior teams (playing as Holyhead Hotspur Peibio).

Holyhead Hotspur were promoted to the Cymru Alliance league for the 1998 / 1999 season after winning the Welsh Alliance League in the 1997 / 1998 season. At the same time, Holyhead Hotspur Reserves also saw promotion to the Gwynedd League.
