history
From 1887 to today... the club was established in 1887 and played their first match on 27 october against red star from havant. they initially played at Blendworth hill before moving to their current ground.
The club only played friendly matches until World War One, after which they joined the Waterlooville & district League, They won the league title in 1926–27, 1929–30, 1930–31 and 1931–32. They went on to join the portsmouth League, winning division Two in 1953–54. They were later promoted to the premier division, which they won in 1968–69, 1969–70 and 1970–71.
In 1972 they moved up to division Four of the Hampshire League. By the mid-1980s they had reached division One, and became founder members of the Wessex Football League in 1986. The deans struggled to make an impact on the league and in nine seasons never once managed to finish in the top half.
After finishing bottom of the league in 1994–95, they were relegated back to the Hampshire League, where they remained until rejoining the Wessex League as founder members of the new division Two in 2004.
In 2010–11 they were promoted to the premier division after finishing as runners-up in division
One. In October 2015 long serving manager david Carter left the club and on Wednesday 21 October 2015 portsmouth Academy Coach Craig pearce and Simon Chamberlain were appointed as successors. Craig pearce and Simon Chamberlain took the team to fifth place, Horndean’s highest ever position in the Sydenham’s Wessex premier league at the time.
The start of the 2016–2017 season Horndean FC saw the arrival of Michael Birmingham, dutchy Holland, Jason Mann, and Matthew driver. The season finished with Horndean FC in 6th place in the Sydenham’s Wessex premier division.
The 2017-2018 Season saw the first team finish in 4th place, in 2018-2019 the team under Michael Birmingham finished second, its highest ever position in the Sydenham’s Wessex premier League. The following two seasons were curtailed due to the COVId pandemic, before

Horndean recorded another strong season, ending the 2021/22 campaign in fourth place.
The 2022/23 saw the deans make history with a League & Cup double. The club’s first Wessex premier title since joining as founding members in 1986 was secured on the final day of the season in a 1-0 win over portland United. A club record attendance of 1,359 watched on when Zack Willett headed a late winner as Horndean were crowned Champions. Just two weeks later the deans won more silverware in the form of the portsmouth Senior Cup, after defeating Fareham Town on penalties in the final at Fratton park. The double was complete!
Horndean play their home games at Five Heads park, Five Heads road, Horndean pO8 9nZ. The ground was fully enclosed in 1981. In 1986 a 50-seater stand was added and a new building housing changing rooms and hospitality facilities was constructed inside the ground, to meet Wessex League standards. previously the changing rooms had been in the social club, on the other side of the car park. A new turnstile shed was installed along with a decking area for spectators ahead of the 2021/22 season.
The club’s promotion to the Isthmian Football League for the first time ever meant significant upgrades were made to Five Heads park. The ground would be rebranded as the Stanley Chase Stadium and improvements came with a new seated stand, relocated tea hut & committee rooms as well as new dugouts with an additional covered standing area constructed in between. The existing tea hut & boardroom would become the club’s management office and physio/ media room.
