Wollaston Village FC was founded on Sunday 5th January 2014 after a conversation between Ben Watkins, Andy Kirby, Ricky Fitzgerald and Drew Adams in The Unicorn public house, Wollaston. It took 23 league and cup games in season 2014/15 before the club gained it's first competitive win... a 3-0 win over Cookley Sports away at Lea Lane.

Colours and badge

Wollaston Village FC's colours are red and black, sometimes with stripes as per AC Milan, but recently plain red shirts with a black detail on the chest..

The WVFC badge features a Spartan soldier's helmet in recognition of the club's 'never say die' reputation from the 2014/15 formation season.

International players should not be bolded. See To be avoided for reasoning. (Current squad of the club. Players should only be wikilinked if notable enough to merit their own article. Generally speaking, clubs in fully professional leagues should have wikilinked players, others should not). In the case of leagues with squad numbers, players should generally only be listed if they have a first team shirt number, have played first team football for the club in the past, or do not have a number due to being new signings.
