History
The club was founded in 1919 as a Serbian-French sports society under the name Asotiation Sportive Bor or ASB for short. It was managed by a Frenchman named Loren, the director of mechanical services in Bor mining company. Not much is recorded about the early club activity, until the first official game played jn 1920. First ASB's head coach was Gallois, who also played for the club as well as for France national football team. At the beginning of the Second World War, the club was renamed BSK. This was the most successful club in the area of the Eastern Serbia and achieved good results in the first part of Serbian football competitions.
BSK and Bor merged in 1946, to form a club with the name of Radnički. The club officially changed its name to FK Bor and was engaged in the first post-war organized competitions. In the meantime, in the name of the club was added the prefix "rudarski" and the club was known by the name (RFK Bor) until 1974, year when the club erased the name prefix.
Victories over Radnički Niš by 7:0 and Radnički Kragujevac by 9:1 are good examples of some great exhibitions made in the 50's. In 1963 the club entered to the Second league, and since then, several times, the club participated in the top division, the Yugoslav First League, having participated, in the season of 1968/69, in the European Cup Winners Cup.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Bias, point of view, fury—are they ... so dangerous and must they be ironed out of history, the hills flattened and the contours leveled? The professors talk ... about passion and point of view in history as a Calvinist talks about sin in the bedroom.”
—Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
“If man is reduced to being nothing but a character in history, he has no other choice but to subside into the sound and fury of a completely irrational history or to endow history with the form of human reason.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
