Radcliffe Olympic FC was founded in 1876, making it one of the oldest football clubs in the local area. During the early period the standard of players at the club was extremely high. One player who was to go on to play international football was Harry Butler Daft who played for the club in the early 1890s.
Although long term history is hard to find when looking for club honours Olympic enjoyed a successful three year period between 1965 and 1968 when the won three Midlands Amateur Alliance league titles and the Midlands Amateur Alliance Senior Cup in the 1967/88 season.
Throughout the 1990s Radcliffe Olympic hit a purple patch winning two League Championships and runners up in another, winning two Cup competitions and being runners up in a further two cups. As the Club entered its third century the success continued. In the 200/01 season they were runners up in the Notts Alliance Division One. The following season the Reserve team won the Notts Alliance Division Three Championship and the Notts Intermediate Cup. In 2002/03 the First Team won the Notts Alliance Senior Division and the Notts Alliance Senior Cup. In the close season Radcliffe Olympic amalgamated with local Club AFC Dayncourt to create one of the biggest Clubs in Nottinghamshire with it retaining the famous Radcliffe Olympic name.
The success continued in the 2003/04 season when the First Team were crowed Champions of the Central Midland League Premier Division. This was mirrored by the Reserve Team who won the Central Midlands League Reserve Division One. The 2004/05 season saw the Seniors play at its highest standard of football ever. The First Team played in the Central Midlands League Supreme Division whilst the Reserve Team played in the Central Midlands League Reserve Premier Division. The First Team ended the season a respectable Eleventh in the league and also maintained their Cup pedigree by reaching the Semi Final of the League Cup and the Quarter Final of the Notts Senior Cup. The Reserve Team eventually finished the season in Fourth Place.
For the 2005/06 season a new First Team Manager was brought in to build on the success of the previous season. Jamie Brodie, who was formerly a Manager with Gedling Town and Dunkirk FC was first choice. With vast experience at CML level and above and with strong connections in the football community Jamie also proved to be a valuable member of the Club. In an injury hit season t he First Team ended the season a respectable Tenth in the league and the Quarter Final of the Notts Senior Cup. In the Seniors section of the Club there will be seven teams playing football in the 2006/07 season. There will be three teams playing on a Saturday and four teams playing on a Sunday. This will hopefully bring out the best of competition for places within these teams and the very best of local talent will be on show for the Club from now on.
The 2006/07 season has seen the First Team strengthen its squad as it looks to build on the good form of the 2005/06 season which saw them consistently in the top six of the league. Chris Munroe has joined as First Team Assistant Manager from Wollaton. There will also be our first experience of the FA Vase after narrowly missing out on entry the previous season. There will also be a lot of work to bring the whole section together as one unit so that there is strength in depth throughout the section.
The future of Radcliffe Olympic FC is looking bright. The senior's section of Radcliffe Olympic is at it's strongest position in probably its entire history. The Club have improved off the pitch too. The Seniors will be located at the revamped Recreational Ground on Wharf Lane and the club's official website is fast becoming one of the most popular non-league websites around.
