[edit] History
Guisborough Town Football Club formed in 1973 and were soon entered into the Northern Alliance. There is however evidence to show that there were football teams in the town as Guisborough pre-dating them. Such as, Guisborough Belmont Athletic [1] as far back as the 1920s and a team named simply Guisborough [2] from the 1940s.
Town finished top of the Northern Alliance and won promotion to the Midland League in 1979-80, they reached the final of the FA Vase tournament the same season, unfortunetly for Guisborough they lost at Wembley 2-0 to Stamford. They played in the Midland League for two seasons, ending in 5th position in both occasions. Then they became a founding member of the Northern Counties East League where they played for three seasons before joining the Northern League Division Two. After spending two seasons in the league they were promoted in second place during 1986-87, to the Northern League Division One.
Guisborough stayed here for eighteen years, until very recently. During 1988-89 they made their sole appearance in the FA Cup First Round in a match against Bury which they lost 1-0 at Middlesbrough's Ayresome Park.
