Flixton F.C. were an English football club based in Flixton, near Urmston in Greater Manchester. They played in the North West Counties Football League Premier Division until 2012 when they resigned from the league. In the late 1990s they spent some time in the Northern Premier League. Previously they had also played in the Manchester League, the Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League and the South Manchester and Wythenshawe League. They were members of the Manchester Football Association. They most recently played their home games at Valley Road in Flixton. History The club was formed in 1960, playing firstly in the South Manchester and Wythenshawe League before moving to the Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League in 1964. South Manchester & Wythenshawe League - 1960-1964 Their time in this league is still unclear, and it is probable that they were not known as Flixton during this time. Possibly played under the St Johns name, a local Flixton club in the South Manchester & Wythenshawe League, and this was the club that many of the first Flixton FC players came from. It appears that the team only played as Flixton from 1964 onwards. Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League - 1964-1973 They applied to join the Lancashire & Cheshire Amateur League in 1964 as Flixton Villa but were accepted only on the proviso that they dropped "Villa". Playing as Flixton for the 1964-65 season in Division Three, their home games were played at Urmston Meadows in Urmston. They won the division in this their first season. In those days, the league didn't have a Premier Division, so Division 3 was the correct division number at the time they won it. The title was won after finishing level on points with South Manchester, but below them on goal difference. However the league had a play-off if teams finished on level points where divisional championship, promotion or relegation were concerned. So the Division Three title was won by winning the Championship play-off against South Manchester. They finished Division Two runners-up in 1969-70, two points behind Division Two champions - the original Cheadle Heath Nomads. This gained them promotion to Division One for the 1970-71 season. Their time in Division One was short-lived as a next-to bottom finish in 1970-71 saw them return to Division Two. They returned to the top flight after another 2nd place finish, 5 points behind Division Two champions Old Urmstonians. Flixton's final
