Founded in 1919, the club formerly was for the vast majority of its life the soccer section of Lensbury - the social club of the oil company Shell. Based in Teddington, its members enjoyed pitches that were like carpets and the envy of the league. Plus of course that famous plunge bath which we all loved, but was never great if you were last in, and a look at it afterwards made you wonder why you ever did in the first place.

In those days the famous cry of 'MORE HOT PERCE' could be heard echoing round the changing rooms.

In our heyday, of the seventies/eighties we club ran seven sides in the SAL, and enjoyed success in both league and cup, and even had an Eighth Team that played friendlies.

1980 saw the club going on its first tour to Wurtzburg in Germany a tradition that has been followed to this very day. 'Father Abraham has seven sons' has been heard in such places as Lithuania, Hungary, and Poland among others.

It's the tour that we thank for our current name. In 1999 for reasons that none of us really understands Shell decided that they were no longer to have any field sports as part of Lensbury and the football club were forced into independence and a subsequent name change.

In 2008 the club moved from it's traditional home in Teddington to the salubrious surroundings of Imber Court.
