About our club

The club was founded in 1967, by Anthony 'Robbie' Roberts who wanted to give local boys the opportunity to play the national game competitively. Having taken the brave step to take on this new venture, a name to play under was required. Due to the popularity of the TV series 'The Saint' at the time, the name 'Saints' was chosen to go with the local area name Marston - thus were the Marston Saints born.

The club achieved FA Charter Standard status in 2005, gained through the hard work and commitment of its management team and coaches. Charter Standard status reaffirms the Club's commitment to providing structured football to the local community with coaches qualified to FA standards.

With former Saints, Gary Parker and Martin Keown making it to full professional level, the Club will continue to develop junior football and deliver the senior sides of the future.

The future

The Committee, assisted by Old Marston Parish Council and The FA, are striding forward with our aim for a new clubhouse fit for the 21st Century. This is following the successful refurbishment of our main Boults Lane pitch and the creation of new playing pitches off Marsh Lane. We aim to develop football within our local community for all ages. We will continue to progress in line with our Development Plan and look forward to a bright future for the Club and local community alike.
