History


Founded in 1944 as Axwell Park Colliery Welfare, the club first started playing in the Derwent Valley League. In 1962, they changed their name to Whickham FC. In 1974, they joined the Wearside League, and were league champions in two seasons, 1977–78 and 1987–88. The year 1981 was one of the most successful years in the club's history, when they beat Willenhall Town 3–2 in the final, after going 0–2 down, to win the FA Vase. At the start of 1988–89, they moved up to the Northern League Division Two. The first season saw them finishing third in the league, and they were promoted to Division One. 1991–92 saw them relegated back to Division Two. In 1995, they were promoted again, as league champions, but after relegation in 1997, spent 20 seasons in Division Two, winning promotion back to Northern League 1 in 2017-18

By far the best run in the FA Cup for Whickham came during the 2003–04 season. In that season they won 3-0 at Garforth Town, 2-1 at Hebburn Town (in a replay), 2-1 at home to Armthorpe Welfare (again after a replay) before accumulating a 5-0 defeat at the hands of Chorley in the 2nd Qualifying Round.

In their first season back in Northern League Division One in 2018–19, it was a difficult campaign for the Lang Jacks, who finished with just enough points to remain in the Division.

In the 2021-22 Season a slow start to the campaign was halted with the appointment of Tony Fawcett and some new faces to the squad and the resurgent Lang Jack's marched up the Northern League 1 table finishing in a club record 7th position.
