Controversy

In 2005, Hyde United won the Northern Premier League title for the first time in their history, but it was not without controversy as Hyde were awarded the title after an appeal to the FA. The title was originally awarded to Farsley Celtic after the expunging of Spennymoor United's results due to the team being unable to complete their fixtures that season (with a Hyde fixture one of those not played). On appeal, this decision was overturned and Hyde, along with other teams who had not played them twice, were awarded 3 points for a '0-0 win' which was enough to secure Hyde's first (Unibond) Northern Premier League title. The 2005 Northern Premier League controversy sought to clear up the final standings of the 2005 Northern Premier League championship, following the non-contest of several scheduled games. ...

History

Early History and foundation

Although the present club was formed in 1919, another club, simply called Hyde FC, had existed since 1885 being best remembered for the 26-0 beating at the hands of Preston North End in a FA Cup tie at Deepdale in 1887, still a record score for a competitive match in England (the British senior record is held by Bon Accord F.C., 36-0).

Hyde FC wore blue shirts and played at a ground off Townend Street. The club moved to Ewen Fields in 1906 after merging with Hyde St George's who played in the Lancashire Combination. Hyde folded in 1917, because of what was termed war fatigue. When the 1914-18 conflict ended, demands were made to resurrect the club but because Hyde had had debts it was decided to form a new side to represent the town — Hyde United.

Hyde United, joined the Manchester League and by 1920 had won it five times and the Gilgryst Cup twice. They moved into the Cheshire County League in 1930 and won the League Challenge Cup four years later. The decade after the Second World War proved to be a purple patch for the club. The Cheshire Senior Cup, won in 1946, was the first of many trophies to arrive at Ewen Fields during the next ten years. In 1953 Hyde United won the League Cup and this was followed by a league and cup double a season later. Season 1955-56 saw Hyde retain the championship and they finished runners-up in the following three seasons. The FA Cup first round was reached in 1954 losing to 5-1 away to Workington, who were managed by Bill Shankly.

In 1968 Hyde United became founder members of the Northern Premier League. After only two seasons, they were forced to resigned for financial reasons, but had finished respectably both times and their battling performances earned them the nickname of the Tigers.

They rejoined the Cheshire County League, where they remained for the rest of the decade. The League Cup was won in 1973 and in 1981 finished runners-up in the league and winners of the Cheshire Senior Cup and league challenge shield.

A year later, with Les Sutton as manager, Hyde swept the Cheshire League board and after a great amount of ground improvement financed by the supporters' club were able to win election to Northern Premier League. The first year back saw the club score 91 goals and reach the first round of the FA Cup where they lost 2-0 at Burnley. A year later Hyde, with Peter Wragg in the hot seat, reached the NPL Cup final, losing on penalties to South Liverpool. However, they were back in the final in 1986 and beat Marine 1-0 with a goal from Graham Holder. By the following summer, Hyde had sold Ewen Fields to Tameside Council, which installed an artificial Baspograss surface and turned Ewen Fields into a leisure centre called Tameside Stadium. The Tigers won the Lancashire Floodlight Trophy.

Ups and Downs

In 1987-88 the club finished runners-up in the League and retained the Lancashire Floodlight Trophy. In the following season a tremendous campaign saw Hyde again finish in the runners-up spot and reach the semi-final of the FA Trophy, losing to Telford, as well as the ClubCall final, which was on penalties to Barnet. Their performance during that season earned the award of North West Team of the Season. The good fortune continued in 1989-90, with fourth in the league, League Cup winners, defeating Gateshead 1-0, winning the Cheshire Senior Cup against Macclesfield and for the second year running losing in the final of the ClubCall Cup, this time to Bishops Stortford. Manager Peter O'Brien left the club the following season and player Graham Bell took over but without any success. The Football Association Challenge Trophy is an English football competition for clubs playing in the Football Conference, Southern League, Isthmian League, and Northern Premier League. ...

Eventually Cliff Roberts took over in 1990 and began the hard work of rebuilding the team. However he could not finish the job he undertook due to the club's financial problems and he voluntarily terminated his contract. Ged Coyne took over in October, 1992, on a much reduced budget, and in 1993 Peter O'Brien returned for his second spell. He took the club to ninth in the league, losing finalists in the League Challenge Cup to Spennymoor United.

O'Brien resigned at the end of the season to take over at Droylsden and in June, 1994, Mike McKenzie, a successful and much sought-after manager, was appointed. His first season in charge promised much for the future as Hyde reached the first round of the FA Cup, losing 3-1 at home to Darlington, and the semi-final of the FA Trophy (losing to Kidderminster).

In 1995/96 Ewen Fields returned to grass surface which played host to another FA Trophy semi-final appearance, this time against Northwich Victoria. After years of neglect, the ground began to be transformed thanks to help from Tameside Council and Stalybridge and Hyde MP Tom Pendry (now Lord Pendry).

The Tigers won the UniBond Chairman's Cup in 2000, but after that went into decline. The 2001-02 campaign started dreadfully with only one point out of 30. At the end of September, 2001, Mike McKenzie left the club by mutual agreement and was replaced by former player Dave Nolan and Martrin Filson. Fortunes did improve slightly on the field, but the Tigers only escaped relegation by other teams not achieving the required ground grading. Coupled with early cup exits, the season was definitely one to forget.

Steve Waywell and the Conference North

Nolan was sacked the following season and a disastrous spell followed under the management of former Manchester United star Gordon Hill. However, at the end of 2002, Hyde gave the job to Leigh boss Steve Waywell and although he could not prevent the club from being relegated in 2003, the Tigers' rebirth had begun. A new team was assembled and the Tigers completed the transformation by winning the UniBond (NPL) first division championship and the Chairman's Cup in 2004.

The following season, Waywell continued his success with the UniBond Championship. In their first season in the Conference North the Tigers made a sluggish start, but put a fine run together mid-season and ultimately finished a credible 11th with 56 points from 42 games, falling from a high of 4th in February after a remarkable run winning 12 games out of 15.

The 2006-2007 season ended in an eighth place finish despite being in the playoff places for much of the latter half of the season. Combined with early exits in cup competitions, the season finished trophyless for the Tigers yet is likely to be remembered for a 7-3 away win against fierce local rivals Stalybridge Celtic.
