| CLUB DETAILS |
Percy Main Amateurs were formed in the 1919-1920 season to play in the Northern Amateur League and finished their first season as league champions. The club also won the Championship on 4 consecutive seasons between 1925-1928.
Between 1931-1969 the club played in the Tyneside Senior League before joining the Northern Alliance and the club enjoyed Northumberland Amateur Cup success in 1968,1970 and 1971.
In 1978 The Villagers won the Northumberland Senior Bowl at St James Park and the Alliance League Championship was won in 1981 and 1982, while the club finished runners up in 1983.
Percy Main were relegated to Division 1 in 1992 but were promoted as champions in 1998-99 under the guidance of current team manager Bob Rodgerson and went on to lift the League Cup in their first season back in the top flight.
In the Spring of 2003 the club with vital cash aid from the Football Foundation erected a new perimeter fence around the ground which completely enclosed Purvis Park. A plaque in the clubhouse dedicates the erection of the fence to former club treasurer Gary Hull, tragically killed in a road accident in January 2003.
During the close season Percy Main have re signed a number of former players in a move which has revitalised the club and will hopefully bring some silverware back to Purvis Park come the season's end.
Among them Rob Herman has returned to the club and is assisting Bob Rodgerson in a player/coach capacity.
Starting this season the club has joined forces with Tyne Youth & Community to form a junior section coming under the Percy Main AFC umbrella. The club is operating 9 junior sides from Under 8's (mini soccer) through to Under 17's and it is hoped to start a girls team, at Under 14 level in the near future.
Percy Main's Village Ground was renamed Purvis Park in 1999 in recognition of 50 years service by the late Alan Purvis as player,secretary and chairman.
