Affectionately known as The Tigers, Hyde United FC play in the Nationwide Conference North League. Their reserve team play in the Lancashire League.
A club called simply Hyde FC, formed in 1885, holds the dubious honour of suffering a 26-0 defeat at the hands of Preston North End in an FA Cup tie at Deepdale in 1887, still a record score for a competitive match in England.
The present club was formed in 1919.

As a Blackburn Rovers fan, I always hated Preston North End.
There are football teams everywhere!
But I don't like it at all.. I find it boring... sorry ;)
Go Tigers! Are those doors entrance to the field or seating or ?
I'm trying to find a team photo of the infamous 1887 Hyde FC team as i believe my grandfather James (Jimmy) Anderson Wood was playing for them ... can anyone help?
