Woking were formed in 1889, and turned professional in 2003
In 1990, the club become part of FA Cup folklore. Entering the competition at the Fourth Qualifying Round, they beat Conference opposition in the shape of Bath City, Kidderminster Harriers and Merthyr Tydfil to set up a Third Round tie away to West Bromwich Albion. Recovering from being a goal behind, Woking triumphed 4-2, thanks to a superb team effort and a never to be forgotten hat-trick from Tim Buzaglo. To be drawn out of the hat with a home game against Everton was beyond everyone's wildest dreams. The tie was switched to Goodison Park and, against a team packed with internationals, the sides were separated only by a solitary Kevin Sheedy goal. Over 34,000 people remained in the ground to give the players a rapturous standing ovation.
Promotion to the conference was achieved in 1991/92, and thats where they have been ever since, finishing 2nd twice. In that time, Woking have won 3 fa trophies and reached the final last year.
