ENFIELD FC are back – and now with a five-year plan to return to the isthmian League Premier.
The E’s have begun a new era by dropping 1893 and reverting back to their original name as the club bids for a return to their former glories.
When controversial ex-chairman Tony Lazarou sold their Southbury Road stadium in 1999 it sparked a downward spiral which ended with liquidation 13 years ago.
The club reformed and joined the Essex Senior League but still remains there having been surpassed by Enfield Town, the supporter-led breakaway club formed in 2001, who have reached Step 3.
But the original Enfield, two-time FA Trophy winners, believe things are changing and have signed evergreen striker Jamie Cureton and added former Liverpool and West Ham hardman Neil ‘Razor’ Ruddock to the board.
“I can honestly say for the first time in two or three seasons there is a spark back,” chairman Steve Whittington told The NLP. “I think our hearts had dropped a bit to be truthful.”
