History[edit]

Glenvale was formed in 1967 by a group of men who worked for Stoddart Carpets at the Caledonia Street works in Paisley. The factory they worked in was called Glenvale and this is where they found the name for the club.

The Workers used to go for a kick about at lunchtimes in the fountain gardens in Paisley which was opposite the factory. They decided to form a football team (Glenvale FC) and joined the local Paisley and District Amateur football league. Games took place on a Saturday afternoon. The club also competed in the West of Scotland Football League.

Glenvale also made a piece of history when they became the first amateur team in Scotland to have their own social club which is in the towns Sandholes Street.^[2]

In the 1990s Glenvale added youth teams to their set up and at present they have teams from under 6 up to under 19s. Glenvale has also set up a football academy for kids as young as 4 interested in taking up the game.
