Forth Wanderers Football Club are a Scottish football club based in the village of Forth, South Lanarkshire. Formed in 1904 they compete in the Template:Scottish football updater and play in red strips with a white trim with a second strip of all black.
History
Since 1934 they have played at Kingshill Park in the village,[1] however they have had to share with Carluke Rovers for a spell and play on a public park in Carnwath when this ground proved unusable. The team's first games were played at Pleasure Park before the Wanderers moved to Hie Dyke in 1929. It was 5 years later until they moved to what is their current home, Kingshill Park in 1934.
Forth have supplied two Scottish international goalkeepers in George Wood and Rab Douglas.[2] Rangers legend Willie Waddell came from the village and starred for the team in his pre-Ibrox days.[3]
Wanderers reached the semi-finals of the Scottish Junior Cup in 1981 and their home quarter-final tie versus East Kilbride Thistle attracted a record crowd of 2,324.[4]
The team is managed by Gerry Ward.
