The Football Club was formed in 1964 and soon became affiliated to the Essex County FA. A successful application was soon made to the then Chelmsford Sunday League. Initially this was under the name of Margaretting Sports but by the early 1970s this changed to the Bull reflecting their 'local' at the time. In those early days many of the players/club officials lived in the village, most notably Sid Day, Sid Hunter and Bill Farquar, all three having sadly passed away. Sid Day was our longest serving manager and Sid Hunter a distinguished treasurer and sponge man. These three characters rather defined the spirit of the club and were true stalwarts. The 1970s saw the arrival and participation of Steve Catterwell and subsequently Bob Culliton both whom having made very significant contributions to the club the latter having served as club secretary for more than twenty five years.

We had to wait until 1992 before we won something. This was the Division 6 cup. This well and truly signalled an end to a decade of decline which saw us drop down the divisions with three successive relegations. Then began the era of Ken Ellis which was without doubt the most successful period in our history with promotions and cup finals year on year. Fifteen years on, the backbone and essence of the club is still based on people that Ken introduced to the club. Sadly, like all 'super novas' all great things come to an end and burn out. Ken parted company with the club around 1997 and we returned to more mundane and less turbulent times under the stewardship of Pete Stickells, Graham (Reg) Scott and the support of the brothers White, Waltons and Phil (have a shot) Masek. The spirit and enduring social side of the Club has been ably maintained by the likes of Dave (striker) Lambert and Alan (sunbed) Surrey. The addition of the imported talent from rival village Ingatestone has helped sustain the club and has certainly lowered the average age somewhat.
