Gothic F.C. was a football club from Norwich, England. They were members of the Eastern Counties League between 1963 and 1978.

History

The club was the works team of Laurence, Scott and Electromotors. The company's main factory was located next to Norwich City's Carrow Road ground and was known as the Gothic Works, from which the team took its name. They began entering the FA Cup at the end of World War II, and almost reached the first round in their first season, losing their fourth qualifying round tie to Colchester United. In 1963 they joined the Eastern Counties League. Initially a mid-table side, from 1972 onwards the club struggled, finishing bottom in 1974-75. They withdrew from the league in 1978 and later folded.

Their Heartsease Lane ground was taken over by Norwich United in 1985, who later moved to Plantation Park.
