[edit] History
The club was formed in 1896 as North Shields Athletic, and started playing in the South Shields and District League. The club moved to Appleby Park, Hawkey's Lane in about 1900.
In 1908, North Shields Athletic joined the North Eastern League. After the First World War, the club continued playing in that league, but the name was changed to Preston Colliery in 1918. The name was changed again, this time to North Shields, in 1928. Their record attendance was 12,800 for the local derby with South Shields in 1936. After the Second World War, the club had increasing success in amateur football, culminating in 1969 with winning the FA Amateur Cup by beating Sutton United at Wembley, and becoming joint winners of the European Amateur Cup.
In 1995, the club changed its name back to North Shields Athletic, and in 1999 back once again to North Shields.[1]
Recently announced Anthony Woodhouse as player-manager. Woodhouse signed from local rivals Whitley Bay.
