Waverley F.C. was an English association football club based in Bristol during the Victorian era. Founded in 1889 as an offshoot of Waverley Cricket Club,[1] they were founding members of the second division of the Western Football League (known at the time as the Bristol & District League), and finished bottom of the table in both the 1893–94 and 1894–95 seasons. They moved into the South Bristol & District League in the summer of 1895.
Their home ground was behind the Talbot Inn on Wells Road in Knowle.[2]
The club appointed local member of parliament Edward Stock Hill as president upon their formation,[3] and a year later fellow MP William Henry Wills was given the role of vice-president.[4]
