Background
The Vics were formed in 1874 and took their unusual name to honour Queen Victoria. They became founder members of the Combination sometime around 1890. When the Football League was extended to form a Second Division in 1892, Victoria were invited to join.
The club finished seventh in their first season and the following year they finished bottom of the League. Rather than seek re-election, the club resigned and returned to the Combination. The club continues to exist and is currently playing in the Conference.
