History
The club were very successful in the York Football League during their early days under the name Knaresborough Football Club, winning the championship in 1902-03, 1903–04 and 1904–05, the latter of which was achieved with a 100% record.
Due to their good form, they were invited into the Northern League, where they competed against teams such as York City and Scarborough. They finished 9th in their first season in the league, one place behind Scarborough, and above York City. The following season they were relegated and re-joined the York Football League in the 1911-12. Not long after the club fell into more problems and were suspended for the 1913-14 season.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
