History

Bromsgrove Rovers were formed in 1885 and initially played in the local Studley & District League, during which time they played on at least four grounds before arriving at their current Victoria Ground home in 1910. Rovers were promoted to the Birmingham & District League in 1898, where they were runners up in the 1904-05 season. The club switched to the Birmingham Combination in 1908, where they were to remain until 1954 when it was absorbed into the Birmingham & District League (later renamed the West Midlands Regional League. Rovers were champions of the Combination on two occasions (1946-47 & 1959-60) and runners-up on four other occasions.

The most successful period in the club's history is without doubt between 1991 and 1998, under the management of Bobby Hope. In the 1991-1992 season a remarkable run saw them win 15 home games in a row and pip Dover Athletic to the title with a game to spare. This saw Bromsgrove promoted to the Football Conference, the highest level of non-league football in England.

The following season saw Bromsgrove get past the first round (proper) of the FA Cup, claiming their only ever league scalp with an away victory over Northampton Town. After another away victory in the second round (against fellow Conference side Yeovil Town), Bromsgrove were drawn at home to Barnsley. A capacity crowd of nearly 7,000 was in attendance for the game. Bromsgrove were 1-0 up with just two minutes of time remaining, when Barnsley scored two late goals to end up winners. In post-match comments, the Barnsley manager Viv Anderson described his team as "the luckiest in the world". ^{[citation needed]} This article is about the English FA Cup. ...

Bromsgrove were eventually relegated from the Conference in 1996-97.

These included the inspirational captain Kevin 'Psycho' Richardson, Paul Webb (who controversially left to join local rivals Kidderminster Harriers), Chris Hanks (Rovers' all time top-scorer) and Martyn O' Connor, who went on to have a successful league career with Birmingham City.
