Quorn Football Club, nicknamed “The Methodists,” is a non-league football club based in Quorn, Leicestershire.
Established in 1924, they currently compete in the Pitching In Southern Football League Premier Central, which is part of the seventh tier of English football. The team calls Farley Way their home ground.
The club joined the Leicestershire Senior League in 1937, played in the Central Division after the Second World War and lifted the Division 2 title in 1950, following up by winning Division 1 a year later. It oscillated between tiers before consolidating in the Premier Division during the late 1990s and gaining promotion to the Midland Alliance in 2001.
A 2003 transfer of striker Luke Varney to Crewe Alexandra for £50,000, and a £500,000 sell-on bonus from his 2007 move to Charlton Athletic, provided rare financial boosts at this level; former England forward Dion Dublin also appeared for the side. Third place in 2006–07 secured a berth in the Northern Premier League Division One South, but relegation accompanied victory in the 2011 Westerby Cup, where Hinckley United were beaten 5–4 at the Walkers Stadium.
Managerial changes have been frequent: John Folwell replaced Dougie Keast in 2013, Keast returned in 2015, Carl Abbott followed in 2017, Cleveland Taylor in 2020 and, after Taylor left in October 2021, Richard Lavery assumed charge. His staff includes Lee Harriman, Tom Cherry, Matt Green, physiotherapist Chloe Lindsay and long-serving kitman Jim Simpson. The 2019–20 campaign was declared void because of COVID-19 while the club topped the United Counties League.
