'''Hyde United Football Club''' is a semi-professional football club in Hyde, Greater Manchester, England, formed in 1919.
The team's strip is red shirts and black shorts and their home ground is the 4,250 capacity Ewen Fields, known as Project Solar Stadium for sponsorship reasons. Hyde United's record attendance was in 1952 when 7,600 spectators attended a game against Nelson. The club's all-time leading goalscorer is Pete O'Brien who scored 247 goals.
==History==
===Hyde F.C.=== Hyde F.C. was founded on 27 July 1885 at the White Lion pub in the town centre. They played on a field near the Bankfield Hotel, until 1898, when they moved to Townend Street and set up a club headquarters at the Gardeners Arms pub. They merged with Hyde St. George's in 1906 and played at Ewen Fields. The club folded in 1917.<ref name="Hyde Football Club"/>
===Lancashire and Cheshire Federation, Manchester League and Cheshire County League=== Hyde United formed in 1919 after demands for a football club to be re-established. After one season in the Lancashire and Cheshire Federation, Hyde joined the Manchester League and by 1930 had won it five times and won the Gilgryst Cup twice. In the 1920s, players wore black-and-white halved shirts for a spell. The club moved into the Cheshire County League in 1930 and won the League Challenge Cup four years later. The decade after the Second World War proved to be a purple patch for the club. In 1946, they won the Cheshire Senior Cup, the first of many trophies to arrive at Ewen Fields during the next ten years. In 1953, Hyde won the League Cup followed by a league and cup double a season later. The 1955–56 season saw the club retain the championship and finish as runners-up in the following three seasons.<ref name="Hyde Football Club"/>
They reached the FA Cup first round in 1954 only to lose 5–1 away to Workington, who were at that time managed by Bill Shankly. Hyde were founder members of the Northern Premier League in 1968 but financial strains took their toll and the club rejoined the Cheshire League in 1970 where they remained for 12 years. They won the League Cup in 1973, and in 1981, finished as runners-up in the league and winners of the Cheshire Senior Cup and The League Challenge Shield.<ref name="Hyde Football Club"/>
===Northern Premier League=== [[File:Halford scores for hyde.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Steve Halford scores for Hyde in 2011|alt=Steve Halford scores for Hyde in 2011]] A year later, with Les Sutton as manager, Hyde swept the Cheshire League board, and with the installation of a number of supporter's club-financed ground improvements, won election to the Northern Premier League. The first year back saw the club score 91 goals. The following season they reached the first round of the FA Cup where they lost 2–0 at Burnley.<ref name="Hyde United Football Club">{{cite web | url=https://www.fchd.info/HYDEU.HTM | title=Hyde United Football Club | access-date=26 March 2011 | publisher=Football Club History Database}}</ref> with Peter Wragg as manager, also reaching the Northern Premier League Cup final— only to lose on penalties to South Liverpool.<ref name="Hyde United Football Club"/> However, they were back in the final in 1986 when they beat Marine 1–0.<ref name="Hyde United Football Club"/> In 1986, as a result of the changes introduced following the Bradford City stadium fire, the club, in conjunction with Tameside MBC, erected a new main stand and laid a baspoturf{{what?|date=February 2026}} pitch.<ref name="Hyde Football Club"/>
In 1993, Pete O'Brien was appointed manager for a second time, but only remained in charge until the end of the season, when he resigned to take-over at Droylsden. Mike McKenzie took over from O'Brien in June 1994. His first season in charge showed much future promise when Hyde reached the first round of the FA Cup but then lost 3–1 at home to Darlington,<ref name="Match Details: Hyde 1–3 Darlington">{{cite web | url=http://www.hydeunited.com/report.php?id=662 | title=Match Details: Hyde 1–3 Darlington | publisher=hydeunited.com | access-date=16 April 2011}}</ref> to be followed by elimination from the FA Trophy by Kidderminster Harriers in the semi-final.<ref name=" Kidderminster Harriers 2–0 Hyde">{{cite web | url=http://www.hydeunited.com/report.php?id=698 | title=Kidderminster Harriers 2–0 Hyde | publisher=hydeunited.com | access-date=16 April 2011}}</ref> During the 1995–96 season, Ewen Fields' astroturf pitch was relaid in grass,<ref name="Hyde Football Club"/> then played host to another FA Trophy semi-final, this time against Northwich Victoria.<ref name="Northwich Victoria 1–0 Hyde">{{cite web | url=http://www.hydeunited.com/report.php?id=629 | title=Northwich Victoria 1–0 Hyde | publisher=hydeunited.com | access-date=16 April 2011}}</ref> After Mike McKenzie left the club in 2001 by mutual consent,<ref name="McKenzie splits with Hyde">{{cite news | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/3013913/Non-League-McKenzie-splits-with-Hyde.html | title=McKenzie splits with Hyde | work=The Telegraph| access-date=16 April 2011 | location=London | first=Gary | last=Slater | date=1 October 2001}}</ref> former player Dave Nolan took over as manager.<ref name="McKenzie splits with Hyde"/> After an unsuccessful 2001–02 season, Nolan was sacked.<ref name="Player Statistics: David Nolan">{{cite web | url=http://www.hydeunited.com/playerstats.php?p=86 | title=Player Statistics: David Nolan | publisher=hydeunited.com | access-date=16 April 2011}}</ref> In October 2002, former Manchester United player Gordon Hill was appointed as manager, but remained at the club for only two months.<ref name="Beckham's room-mate has Hyde ready to bounce back">{{cite news | url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2374079/UniBond-League-Beckhams-room-mate-has-Hyde-ready-to-bounce-back.html | title=Beckham's room-mate has Hyde ready to bounce back | work=The Telegraph| access-date=16 April 2011 | location=London | first=Gary | last=Slater | date=2 March 2004}}</ref> Following his departure, Hyde gave the job to former Leigh boss Steve Waywell, though he could not prevent the club's relegation to the Northern Premier League Division One in 2003.<ref name="Beckham's room-mate has Hyde ready to bounce back"/> Waywell assembled a new team, and they won the Northern Premier League First Division at their first attempt.<ref name="2003/2004 Results">{{cite web | url=http://www.hydeunited.com/results.php?y=2003 | title=2003/2004 Results | publisher=hydeunited.com | access-date=16 April 2011}}</ref>
Hyde United won the Northern Premier League Premier Division title in 2005 for the first time in their history, a controversial win as Hyde were awarded the title following an appeal to the Football Association. The title was originally awarded to Farsley Celtic after the expunging of Spennymoor United's results because they were unable to complete their fixtures that season (with a Hyde fixture one of those not played). On appeal, this decision was overturned and Hyde, along with other teams who had not played Spennymoor twice, were awarded three points for a "0–0 win"—sufficient to secure Hyde's first Northern Premier League title.<ref name="Chaotic finale to Unibond season">{{cite news | url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_conf/4516821.stm | title=Chaotic finale to Unibond season | publisher=BBC Sport | access-date=16 April 2011 | first=Pete | last=Oliver | date=5 May 2005}}</ref>

On 24 September 2009, the club was officially wound up at the High Court in London, with debts of around £122,000 to HM Revenue and Customs. Over the following few days, major efforts by club officials, supporters and players, which included a bucket collection at a Manchester City Premier League match, raised sufficient funds to lodge an appeal against the High Court decision. This was heard on 30 September 2009, and the original winding-up order was rescinded, with Leicestershire businessman John Manship stepping in as owner.<ref name="High Court victory for Hyde United">{{cite web|title=High Court victory for Hyde United|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/high-court-victory-for-hyde-united-931492|website=Manchester Evening News|date=5 October 2009|access-date=28 January 2016}}</ref>

However, it would suffer the same fate as the previous season, with the FA announcing on 24 February 2021 that the season would be curtailed for steps 3-6 of non-league football.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FA update on steps 3-6 - The Pitching In Northern Premier League |url=https://www.thenpl.co.uk/fa-update-on-steps-3-6-65182 |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=www.thenpl.co.uk |date=24 February 2021 |language=en}}</ref>
In August 2021, McGurk stepped down as first-team manager citing personal reasons. In his two years at the helm, McGurk was unable to see through a full-season as a result of the pandemic.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dave McGurk Departs Hyde United – Hyde United |url=https://hydeunited.co.uk/news/dave-mcgurk-departs-hyde-united/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=hydeunited.co.uk|date=23 August 2021 }}</ref> In total, McGurk guided the club for 39 league games across two seasons, achieving a win-rate of 33.3%. John McCombe, who had been McGurk's righthand man as player-assistant manager, stepped up on an interim basis before Hyde announced the appointment of former Stockport County and Port Vale manager Jim Gannon on 31 August.<ref name="thenpl.co.uk"/>
On 15 February 2022, with the club looming over the relegation zone, Hyde took the decision to relieve Gannon of his duties as first-team manager. Gannon had been only able to guide the club to 6 wins in 21 league games during his spell.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hyde sack Gannon after dismal run of form |url=https://www.questmedianetwork.co.uk/news/sport/hyde-sack-gannon-after-dismal-run-of-form/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=Quest Media Network |language=en}}</ref> Gannon was replaced by former Hyde player Nicky Spooner four days later,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bugby |first=Tony |date=2022-02-19 |title=Former player Nicky Spooner named new Hyde United manager |url=https://www.tamesidecorrespondent.co.uk/2022/02/19/former-player-nicky-spooner-named-new-hyde-united-manager/ |access-date=2023-05-05 |website=Tameside Correspondent |language=en-GB}}</ref> with Spooner going on to help the club avoid the drop following a 17th-placed finish.
