Cambridge United, then known as Abbey United, was formed in 1912. A hundred years later a group of individuals determined to record the story of the club developed this website, with the aid of the Heritage Lottery Fund.

WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE JOURNEY

Cambridge United has served the communities of Cambridgeshire and neighbouring counties for more than a century.

The club made amazing progress from its inception right through until 1970, when it was elected to the Football League. Highs and lows followed, and the club almost gained promotion to the inaugural Premier League in 1992,
but the pendulum swung and United found itself in non-League football once again in 2005, only to rise once more in 2014.

The entire history of those 100-plus years is either here or will be very soon. Read, watch and listen to the memories of players, managers, supporters and club employees. Explore a remarkable photographic record of people, places and memorabilia. Examine individual seasons in detail through the medium of fans' scrapbooks.

And discover the story behind our logo and why our online museum is called 100 Years of Coconuts.
