History
Droylsden were originally formed at the invitation of Joseph Cropper, the landlord of the Butchers Arms public house, to play behind the pub. After twenty years of friendlies and local leagues (including winning the Ashton & District League in 1913–14) disbandment, reformations and changes of strip, the club emerged from World War I the sole survivors amongst the village teams, and as members of the Manchester League.
The club joined the Northern Premier League in 1968, and spent the next 20 years in the league, reaching the Fourth Division in 1987. However, they were relegated back to the Northern Premier League in 1990, and have remained there ever since.
The club's most famous player is probably Andy Cole, who played for Droylsden in the early 1990s before moving on to Manchester United and winning numerous trophies.
