John O’Hara

John was born and bred in Farnborough and his involvement with senior football in the town began in 1958 when he joined South Farnborough FC as a player and continued subsequently with Farnborough AFC. When the latter became defunct he joined the steering committee which led to the foundation of Farnborough Town FC in 1967.

It is recorded in the club’s history that the first competitive match was played in the Surrey Senior League on 31 August 1968 and was a 7-6 win against Surbiton Byron.
