The History of Musselburgh Windsor
15 Aug 2009

Musselburgh Windsor has a long and proud history stretching back to its formation by Joe Brown in 1953, continuing unbroken through to the recent 50th Anniversary celebrations.

In July 1953, Musselburgh Windsor was accepted into the Edinburgh & District Under Age Association and so came official recognition of the Club’s existence.

Windsor has recorded fifty consecutive years of membership of the sports governing body, more than any other Club in the Country. Although the governing body has changed names on sever occasions, no other youth football has contributed more.

The Windsor had originally one team that play at U-17’s and this remained unchanged until the birth of a new Association, the ASYFC which banished the U-17’s age group in preference to the under 18 and under 16’s. As a result Windsor adapted moved up the new U-18 Age Group and formed a new team to compete at U-16 in the 1960’s.

By season 1977/78 the Club began making preparations for the provision of an under 15 team. From here the seed was sown which would eventually lead to the current situation which has Musselburgh Windsor introducing players at the U-8 Age Group.
