| Club Notes |
Later amalgamated with Solihull Borough to become Solihull Moors
Moor Green FC was formed in 1901 by players from the Moseley Ashfield Cricket Club but did not play competitive football until 1922 when they joined the Birmingham AFA. In 1935-36 they were league champions and joined the Central Amateur League and were league champions in each of the three seasons in which they played in the league.
After World War II the Moors joined the Birmingham Combination, followed by a switch to the Birmingham & District League (soon to be renamed the West Midlands (Regional) League) in 1954. They struggled in this league, however, and in 1965 stepped down to the Worcestershire Combination (soon to be renamed the Midland Football Combination), which was at the time considered a weaker league, in 1965. The club finished as league runners-up on four occasions and won the championship in 1980-81 - this success was rewarded with a step up to the Southern League in 1983.
In 1987-88 the Moors finished second in the Southern League Midland Division and were promoted to the Premier Division, where they spent six seasons before succumbing to relegation. In 2000, however, they were promoted back to the Premier Division and a 13th place finish in 2003-04 was enough to secure a place in the newly-formed Conference North.
The club played outside their usual home area of Hall Green due to a 2005 arson attack on the Moorlands stadium, their home since 1930, which rendered the ground unusable.
In January 2007 it was announced that Moor Green had applied to the FA for permission to merge with Solihull Borough, the side with whom they have ground shared since the arson attack. The merger was confirmed on 30 March 2007 when it was revealed that a new club under the name Solihull Moors would be formed on 1 June and would take Moor Green's place in the Conference North. Moor Green boss Bob Faulkner was later confirmed as the new club's football manager. |
