the S&HCSL for the start of the 2013–14 season. After years in Division Two, Park won promotion to Division One of the S&HCSL in 2017; the same year that the club left its Hard Lane home of nearly a century to move to the playing fields of Wales High School. Season-by-season record Managers Notable former players Kiveton's most famous sons, Harry and Herbert Chapman, played for the club before going onto greater things – Harry became a Sheffield Wednesday legend while Herbert went on to become one of the most successful managers of all time. In 2004 the Sunday Times voted Herbert the greatest British manager ever, and in 2014 the club featured prominently in Patrick Barclay's book – The Life and Times of Herbert Chapman. Barclay wrote: "Kiveton Park could claim to have been a cradle of two revolutions, one industrial and the other sporting, and beyond question it is the birthplace of at least one great man, widely considered the father of football as we have come to know it." Although Harry Chapman could claim to be the best player to hail from the village, he never won an international cap – although another Kivetonian did. Bert Morley played for England against Ireland in 1910, just six years after leaving his local football team. In 1940, Empire News reported that, pro rata, the village had turned out more professional football players than anywhere in England apart from the Shropshire town of Oakengates. Grounds The club's first home was a ground near Kiveton Park station, and they also played on pitches at Wales Cricket Club (which was destroyed to make room for the M1 motorway in 1960), and Torquilstone (near the site of the destroyed Kiveton Hall on the road to Todwick) during their early years. After the First World War, the club moved to a ground on Hard Lane - paid for by the local Miners Welfare scheme - that also hosted the village's cricket club. Initially Park played on the pitch nearest Hard Lane, but in the 1960s they moved to the central pitch and built a stand to hold 200 seated spectators. In 2017, they left Hard Lane after nearly a century - moving to the playing fields of Wales High School.
