British Timken Athletic
When it comes to us here at Boro’, mention British Timken Athletic and there’s only three words you’ll need to know: Biggest. Ever. Victory. In December 1980, we totally tonked them; running in 11 goals to their one on the hallowed Broadhall Way turf. It’ll likely be a cold day in hell before we come close to that sort of scoreline. That isn’t meant as disrespect. But how often do Boro’ score five or six in a game, let alone 10 or 11? And that’s why we think this club will forever remain lodged in the Boro’ history books.

Club History
Who are British Timken Athletic?
It tells you a lot that, when you Google this side, this profile is one of the top results; such is the apparent dearth of concrete information out there. The team first turns up on the Football Club History Database‘s radar in 1961; joining the United Counties League in Division Two. This makes a lot of sense because that lines up with the fact that British Timken had a base in the Northampton area. And the first two years saw success; finishing second in their maiden season, before winning the title the following campaign.
This promoted them to Division One. But they didn’t manage to see things out at a higher level and were relegated back to Division Two three years later. In 1972, Division Two would become Division One – and we mention this purely for context. A second-place finish in 1974 wasn’t good enough for promotion, so they ended up staying in Division One for the duration; all present and correct when we turned up to that party in 1980. After we went up in 1981, Athletic played on until 1990 – when they departed the league.
And, presumably, no longer existed as a club.
