They had a famous FA Cup run in the early 1990s, eventually being knocked out by Crewe 3-1 in the 3rd round. Roly Howard was manager for a record 33 years (1972-2005), although he will always be remembered by some fans as Kenny Dalglish's window cleaner. TV presenter Ray Stubbs once asked: "How's business, Roly?" to which Roly replied "Oh you know - ups and downs."
Former players include Michael Ball (Everton and Rangers) and Stephen Wright (Liverpool and Sunderland). The club motto is 'To Enjoy, Not Destroy.'
JACK'S team were crowned champions of their north Merseyside and West Lancashire league - finishing the season with a 100% record.
Amid scenes of jubilation at the final whistle Jack told an emotional Touchline Dad: "Can we go for a hot dog now Dad?" Here's the official match report...
Crosby Stuart U6s 4, Dynamo Skem U6s 1
CROSBY Stuart finished their Summer League campaign on a high by keeping their 100% record intact and being crowned champions with a hard fought victory over their nearest rivals.
After an even start to the game Crosby Stuart began to take control with some great build-up play and were soon in front with a fine solo effort by Andrew Welch.
After more pressure Peter Silcock added a second as Crosby Stuart continued to take their chances. Andrew Welch scored another to give Crosby Stuart a 3-0 half-time advantage.
The game was closer than the scoreline suggested and Dynamo Skem battled hard as possession swung their way, but they found it difficult to break down a solid Crosby Stuart defence.
Eventually Dynamo pulled one back thanks to a fine long-range effort to set up a tense last ten minutes. The pressure was eased when Callum Duncan finished neatly to give Crosby Stuart an unassailable lead.
The effort and skill level from both teams is to be commended with both teams playing their part in an exciting finale to the season.
Man of the Match went to James Field for some great work up front, but all of the squad played their part and deserve a lot of credit for the way they played and conducted themselves. Well done to Paul, Andrew, Liam, Jack, Kieron, Max, James, Andy, Callum, and Peter, we are all very proud of you!
Jack was voted Most Improved Player at the end of season awards ceremony.
