Slough Town F.C. was officially founded in 1890 after the amalgamation of the Swifts, Slough Albion and the Young Mens' Friendly Society, who between them forged a new club, Slough FC. The club is a senior non-League football club representing Slough, England.

Nicknamed The Rebels, the team has been based in Windsor (ground-sharing with Windsor and Eton F.C.) since they were evicted from Wexham Park Stadium, Slough, at the end of the 2002-03 season. They are currently playing in the Isthmian League Premier Division.

History

The team's most notable event in recent history came when they defeated League One side Walsall 2–1 in the first round of the FA Cup. Slough also won their league cup (the Bryco Cup) in that year (2004–05).

Season 1980-1981 saw them win the Treble (Isthmian League Champions, League Cup and County Cup). In 1982 they defeated Millwall 1-0 in the FA Cup 1st round proper.

Season 1989-1990 saw the Rebels win the Isthmian Championship again and therefore gain promotion to the GM Vauxhall Conference.
