Welcome to South bank CUACO Football club
South Bank CUACO FC, one of the longest-established and largest amateur league clubs in South London, has been a cornerstone of the local football community since 1919.
We field eight teams in the Southern Amateur League, and participate in various Amateur Football Association Cups. Our club is known for its vibrant spirit, both on and off the pitch, fostering a sense of camaraderie and passion for the beautiful game.
At South Bank CUACO FC, we’re always on the lookout for players at all levels. Whether you’re a semi-pro, or just enjoy a casual kickabout, there’s a place for you here. Above all, we seek players who are true club men—those who share our love for football and the way it should be played. If you have the dedication, enthusiasm, and team spirit, we would love to have you join our football family.
We also pride ourselves on having a great social scene, with regular events, and a yearly tour that brings our members even closer together.

I played for the 8th eleven during the years 1959-1962. I worked for the CU at Schomberg House, 82 Pall Mall. The first team captain was the great Charlie Crowhurst who was close to playing for England's Amateur team. Some of us still meet in the West End twice a year to talk about old times. I will be 85 on the 31st August but still fondly remember my games at Catford, Lee Green and New Eltham
Now the photo is clearer and the order from left to right is, David Nathan,(famous in the Jazz world, look him up) Myself, Paul Kelly, Ken Hill and Tony Hails. We met at the Blue Posts pub, just off St James' St.
I have a photo of my team at New Eltham in the early sixties. Will try to find it and post it on here. Here is a photo of the original five that started the get together in a pub in the West End of London about 2000. I cannot quite see the order from left to right on here but in the photo are Tony Hails, Paul Kelly, Ken Hill, David Nathan and myself.
Here how our preparations for season 26/27 will look for August. You can message us if you would like to get involved!
We've added a second veo camera from this coming season onwards. The existing veo will continued to be used by the 1st team with the second rotated amongst the other SBC teams (for home matches).
This has only been possible thanks to our friend, former President, clubmate and top tier legend of club, Ralph Salter who left a donation to SBC in his will following his passing in 2022.
You can read about Ralph and the incredible impact he, and others made on our club and our lives here:
