Histon F.C.

Histon Football Club is an English football club based in the twin villages of Histon and Impington, approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. From the 2007–08 season they competed in the Conference National, the highest level that the club has ever reached in the English football league system, before being relegated to Conference North at the end of the 2010–11 season. Dennis Greene is the current manager of the club when he was appointed in July 2012 after David Livermore left his first managerial role at Histon in favour of a move back to his former club Millwall.

Histon are nicknamed "the Stutes", originating from the club's previous name Histon Institute, and they play their home matches at Bridge Road in Impington. Histon's crest features a rose, the flower representing the rose-covered field given to the people of Histon & Impington in perpetuity for sporting activities in the community by local firm Chivers. Histon play in red and black, their traditional colours, with red and black striped jerseys, black shorts and black socks. Their current away kit is sky blue shirts, royal blue shorts and sky blue socks.

Histon's traditional rivals used to be Ely City, but the clubs have not met in recent years; Histon consider nearer neighbours Cambridge United as current-day local rivals.
