CHAMPION YEARS: 2003-04  It just keeps getting better, 2 Championships and a Cup win! It would seem that there was no stopping TFC from scoring and leading the way was UNDER 10's hot shot Ashley Goldie with a majestic 49 goals to his name alone in the SBMSC before he was 'spotted' by the Wycombe Wanderers School of excellence. But it was the league teams making all the headlines .... Mick Carlton's UNDER 14's continued where they left off the previous season, winning their first 15 league games to set an almost unbreakable sequence of 23 consecutive wins. The division 3 championship was claimed in style by a massive 9 clear points from second place Bedgrove Athletic and a successful season was rounded off  by winning both the Harefield United and Chiltern Athleic tournaments.

INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM: 2000-01 Alan Putman's team of the previous season disbanded following a breakaway by a former coach to set up a new club but an UNDER 18's youth team, including some returning founder players, managed by Stuart Anning was introduced as the club entered the South Bucks Youth League (SBYL) for the first time, they found life difficult against established sides and struggled for most of the season to finish bottom with 9 points.

1996-2000 ... The early years

IN THE BEGINNING: Totteridge F.C. came about in 1996 when the Wycombe Marsh R.B.L. Under 12's team disbanded after a number of unsuccessful season's (just 1 point was won in previous three season's!). A few of the players including Paul Jemmett, Michael Chapman, Gary Plumridge & Chris Huggins all wished to continue playing and so parents Peter Jemmett, Eric Chapman and Steve Plumridge formed a new club to provide football opportunities to any youngsters, not just based on ability, who wished to play. Peter was elected as the Honorary Secretary and Tony Martin was recruited as Chairman and Team Manager while Mandie Best took on the role of Treasurer, along with Eric and Steve they were also joined by Glyn Tucker to form the first committee and our inaugural meeting was held on 8th July 1996 at the Totteridge & District Social Club.
