The Radford Football Club was founded in 1964 as Manlove & Alliots FC and played in the Nottinghamshire Sunday league. Manlove & Alliots were a Engineering firm situated in Radford. After the firm transferred to Scotland in 1970/71, the club carried on under the name of Radford Olympic FC being sponsored by The Pheasant Inn. In 1977 they became the first amateur side in Britain to be allowed to wear advertising on our shirts and the BBC Television came along to our home ground on Melbourne Park and filmed one of our matches and interviewed officials for the evening programme “Nationwide”. In 1978 we formed a ground development committee and decided to seek out a piece of ground preferably in the Radford area for development of our own ground. Radford Olympic transferred to Saturday Football and made progress up the leagues and in 1982/83 finished Champions of the East Midlands Regional League.

A new era for the club began at the start of the 2021-2022 season with a sideways move to the United Counties League. Following an exciting season, the club qualified for the end of season play-offs by finishing fourth. In the semi-finals a slim defeat to Belper United meant they remained in Division One for a second season.
