Coldstream Football Club official account. Founded 1895. Longest serving members of the East of Scotland League. SFA entry level licensed club. See us at Home Park. Formed in the late 19th century, Coldstream Football Club is one of the oldest football clubs in Scotland, creating a prestigious history of which it can be proud.

It was in 1895 that the 'Streamers' were formed and since then the club has always strived to improve, both on and off the pitch, in order to remain as one of the top sides in the Borders and East of Scotland setup.

The main trophies lifted by the men in blue over the years have been those of the Scottish Amateur Cup (1924), the Borders Cup (1925), the Kings Cup (1967) and the Scottish Qualifying Cup (1947 & 1966). It is through the latter that the club have the privilege of playing in Scotland's premier cup competition each season - the Tennents Scottish Cup. Coldstream are drawn out in the preliminary rounds each August hoping for a run or famous scalp - which, over the years has provided endless stories and memories for locals, many of which can still be heard to this day should you venture into any one of the towns watering holes.

The year of 1947 first saw the club venture into the competition, facing Edinburgh City, a then professional side, but now a fellow East of Scotland side. Ties against Raith Rovers (1953), Hamilton Academicals (1959), Stranraer (1969) and various other matches throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's have seen some almighty tussles at home park in the 'David Vs Goliath' part of the Scottish Cup. A match in 2001 against Brechin City could have resulted in a trip to Ibrox and Glasgow Rangers for Coldstream, had the side from Angus not proved victorious at Home Park in the second round.

Over the years many players produced by Coldstream have moved on to grace the professional game - Lennie Melrose signed for Heart of Midlothian in 1910 with Bobby Johnston and Frankie Bryson doing the same in the early 1930's. Tommy Ledgerwood left for Partick Thistle in 1946 with Hick Ledgerwood (York City), Jocky Ford (Tottenham Hotspur) and Billy Clazie (Berwick Rangers) also moving up in the game. Eric Tait, who went on to captain Berwick Rangers when they were in the Scottish First Division almost twenty five years ago is another who had talent and was snapped up by a bigger club.

Locals Willie Scott, Willie Rutherford, Billy Kerse, George Walker, John Scott and Bob Mackenzie have all had long associations with the club over the years and have helped to take it forward. The opening of the current pavilion in 1991 was also down to a man who oozes passion for Coldstream Football Club, the late Jim Patterson. His photo is there for all to see as you enter the 'Pivvy' at Home Park. The historic opening saw Ossie Ardilles, the then Newcastle United manager, bring a strong side up to Coldstream - unfortunately the game ended in a 0 - 1 victory for the magpies.

In more recent times the club have enjoyed promotion into the East of Scotland Premier Division under former Manager Andrew Gibson in 2012/13 and finished the campaign the next year strongly, cementing their place in the top flight.

With former Falkirk, Blackburn Rovers & Berwick Rangers player Neil Oliver now at the helm, the focus is to build on the foundations laid by the previous regime with players from a 30 mile radius.
