Brache Sparta Community F.C.
are a football club based in Luton, formed in 1960,
Brache Sparta Community F.C. takes its name from an
area of Luton & the Czech side in vogue at the time
they were formed.
Early History
Brache Sparta initially played in the Luton &
District League at Stockwood Park, however in 1973,
Brache, with help from the council, acquired Foxdell
Recreation Ground and built a Clubhouse with an
adjacent pitch.
This meant that they could successfully apply for
admittance into the South Midlands League for the
1975/6 season.
After many struggles, promotion was eventually
gained to the Premier League in 1985. However, this
was met with the resignation of their Manager Barry
Fancini and a mass exodus of players.
As a result, the club was relegated.
Though it wasn't long before Brache were back in the
Premier League, regaining their place in 1988 under
Barry O'Keefe.
Kevin Millett then guided the team to the final of
the Premier Division Cup; 2nd place in the league
and to a Challenge Trophy Final the following term. |
