History

Thackley FC was formed in 1930, spending much of their early years in local football before joining the West Riding County Amateur League in 1939. The club then moved into county-wide leagues, spending 25 years in the West Riding County Amateur League, winning that league on five occasions before a brief spell in the West Yorkshire League. Thackley then joined the Yorkshire League before becoming founder members of the Northern Counties East League's Premier Division where they have been ever since with the club's best season being in 1993–94 when they were runners-up, losing out on goal difference to Stocksbridge Park Steels.^[1] The club has never been promoted or relegated from that division throughout the League's 40-year history.

Thackley's best efforts in national cup competitions have been in the FA Vase, their best season being in 1980–81 when they got to the fifth round. The club has never progressed beyond the second qualifying round of either the FA Cup or the FA Trophy.^[2]
