History

[edit]

Torquay United Football Club was originally formed in 1899. After first joining theEast Devon League in 1900, the club then went on to join theTorquay & District League, becoming champions of that league in 1909. Encouraged byPlymouth Argyle andExeter City turning professional, the people of Torquay were eager for United to join forces with the town's two other prominent football teams,Babbacombe andEllacombe, with a view to creating a third professional club within Devon. Although Babbacombe rejected the idea of a merger, Torquay United and Ellacombe agreed to pool their resources and formedTorquay Town in 1910. Town won the Devon Senior Cup in their first season and became champions of thePlymouth & District League the following year. Despite a fierce rivalry existing between Torquay Town and Babbacombe, the two clubs were finally amalgamated in 1921 and the newly combined team reverted to the name of Torquay United and were admitted into theWestern League. After one season in the Western League, United joined theSouthern League and, after becoming champions of the Western Section, were elected into theFootball League at the expense ofAberdare Athletic in 1927.

Despite having to seek re-election to the Football League after their debut season, Torquay soon managed to establish a place in theThird Division South, although without ever finishing higher than 10th position in all the seasons leading up toWorld War II. By the 1950s however, United had become a much more competitive side and narrowly missed out on promotion to theSecond Division in 1957. When the Football League underwent restructuring in 1958, a poor season for United saw them placed in the newly createdDivision Four. Nevertheless, the 1960s proved fruitful for Torquay United and they spent the majority of the decade inDivision Three, again coming close to promotion to Division Two in 1968.

However, when Torquay were again relegated from Division Three in 1972, it heralded a period of mediocrity which culminated in the club requiring re-election to the Football League in both 1985 and 1986. When automatic relegation into theConference was introduced the following year, only a last minute equaliser againstCrewe Alexandra on the final day of the season saved United from the drop. Torquay finally lifted themselves out of the basement division in 1991 after beatingBlackpool in the Division Four play-off final, only to be relegated again the following season. After narrowly escaping relegation to the Conference in 1996, they were again contesting a play-off final in 1998, although this time they were beaten byColchester United. Just three years later, in 2001, Torquay once again escaped expulsion intonon-League football by beatingBarnet on the final day of the season. By 2004, the club had bounced back again by achieving automatic promotion to the third tier of English football (now renamedLeague One) for the first time since 1966. Again relegated after just one season, worse was to come when, after two seasons inLeague Two, Torquay were finally relegated to the Conference in 2007. However, after just two years in the Conference, United secured a return to the Football League by beatingCambridge United in the2009 Conference play-off final. Torquay again came close to returning to League One in 2011 but were narrowly beaten byStevenage in theLeague Two play-off final.

Since their election to the Football League in 1927, Torquay United have completed 34 seasons in the third tier of English football, 42 seasons in the fourth, ten seasons in the fifth (below the professional League) and one season in the sixth (Conference/National League South). This list details all of the seasons played by Torquay United in English football from 1899 up untilthe last completed season. The list details the club's achievements in all major competitions, and the top scorers for each season in all competitions.
