Street FC in the shadow of Glastonbury Tor and nestled in the traditional shoe manufacturing county of Somerset is known as the Cobblers and they now play at the Tannery, a home since 1967. The Cobblers play in the Toolstation Western League Premier and hold top spot in the division, so promotion seems inevitable. With 23 consecutive league wins and standing 15 points ahead of rivals Melksham the club is chasing bigger fish such as Red Star Belgrade and Celtic with 23 and 25 consecutive wins in their history. Benfica are top in this list with 29 consecutives during 1971-73.
Founded in 1880, The Cobblers have had two momentous moments in their history; in 1938-9 reaching the First Round proper of the FACup losing to Ipswich Town 0-7. In 1947-8 they reached the Second Round proper after beating a successful Yeovil Town 2-1 but then meeting a strong Cheltenham Town who won 0-5.
