Colchester United Football Club is an English football club based in Colchester, Essex. Formed in 1937, the club competed in the Southern Football League from their foundation until 1950, ^[1] when they were elected to the Football League. ^[2] The club spent eleven years in the Third Division South and Third Division following the league's reorganisation in 1958, with a best finish of third place in 1957, one point behind rivals Ipswich Town and Torquay United. ^{[3] [4]} Colchester suffered their first relegation in 1961 as they finished 23rd in the Third Division, ^[5] but spent just one season in the Fourth Division as they were promoted in second position, behind Millwall by just one point. ^[6] This trend of relegation followed by promotion continued over the next few decades, before the club were eventually relegated from the Football League to the Conference in 1990. ^[7]

Player-manager Roy McDonough guided the club back to the Football League in 1992, winning the non-league double of the Conference title and the FA Trophy. ^[8] The club then won promotion to the Second Division in 1998 with a 1–0 Third Division play-off final win at Wembley against Torquay United. ^[9] The club were again promoted in the 2005–06 season under the stewardship of Phil Parkinson, gaining the opportunity to play second-tier football for the first time in their history. After two seasons in the Championship, Colchester were relegated back to League One. ^[8] Colchester were relegated to the fourth tier for the first time in 18-years at the end of the 2015–16 season. ^[10]
