History
Carshalton Athletic FC 1906
Dartford Football Club was formed in early 1888 by members of the Dartford Workingmen’s club and for the first few seasons, played only friendly fixtures with the occasional foray into cup football. A run to the final of the Kent Senior cup in 1894 encouraged the club committee to enter Dartford as a Founder-Member of the Kent League for the 1894-95 season. It was in October 1895 that Dartford first played in the FA Cup.
In the summer of 1986 former Tottenham and England winger Peter Taylor took charge of the club. In the four seasons of his reign Dartford were never out of the top four in the Southern League Premier Division, won the Southern League Cup twice (and were denied a unique hat-trick by VS Rugby in the 1989-90 final), the Southern League Championship Trophy twice, the Kent Senior Cup twice and reached the FA Trophy semi-finals twice.
The Club’s return to the top flight of Non League Football in 2012/13 will also be long remembered for being one of the most successful seasons in the history. Despite a controversial expulsion from the Kent Senior Cup, and the unfortunate drawing of a fellow Conference National side in the club’s first FA Cup match (Forest Green Rovers), the club managed to reach the FA Trophy Semi Finals. Defeats of Kingstonian, Tonbridge Angels, Bromley and Halifax Town took the Darts to a two-legged tie against fellow Conference side Grimsby Town. A 3-0 defeat at Blundell Park possibly flattered the home side, but it left the Darts with a mountain to climb back at Princes Park, where they could only manage a 0-0 draw to get so near, yet so far from a trip to Wembley. However, despite the cup run, the Darts’ league form managed to stand up, against all odds. An eighth place finish was the culmination of some excellent victories, defeating Hereford United, Wrexham, Luton Town, Cambridge United and Grimsby Town as well as a televised home win over the eventual champions Mansfield Town. Finishing the highest part-time side in the country was topped off by Princes Park hosting its first international match as England C hosted Turkey C.
