About Histon FC
Formed in 1904 as Histon Institute F.C, the club played for many years in the Cambridgeshire Football League. John Chivers, the chairman of the major employer in Histon & Impington, the jam company Chivers, helped to found the Histon Institute in 1903, from where the football club has its origins. The Stutes were promoted as Champions of the Nationwide Conference South in 2006-07 - and currently play in the Blue Square premier, it's highest ever level. Histon's crest features a rose, the flower representing the rose-covered field given to the people of Histon & Impington in perpetuity for sporting activities in the community by local firm Chivers.
