History

Grays United was the predeccesor of the modern Grays and was considered one of the oldest clubs in the world. Grays Athletic were established in 1890 and became founder members of the Athenian League, in which they briefly played before World War I (19121914, and again since 1958). In 1945 they were one of the nine founder members of the Corinthian League, which they won that first season. After playing in the Isthmian League between 1983 and 2004, they were founder members of the new Conference South. They were divisional champions at the first attempt, and also won the FA Trophy. In the 2005-06 season, they took an early lead in the Conference National division, remaining unbeaten through the early months of the season, but eventually finished in third place and were beaten in the semi-finals of the promotion play-offs by Halifax Town. They did, however, successfully retain the FA Trophy with a 2-0 win over Woking Grays is the largest town in the borough and unitary authority of Thurrock to the east of London. ...
