History of Colchester United in less than a minute. Colchester’s history began in 1937 as a professional club alongside amateur counterparts Colchester Town. Colchester played in the Southern League until they were elected into the football league in 1950. In 1952, Vic Keeble became United’s first big-time transfer when he moved to first division Newcastle for a massive £15,000 fee. The club made a slow climb through the third division and then the second division. In 2006, the club finished second in League 1, the club’s highest ever finish to that point, resulting in promotion to the championship, the second tier of English football. The following season, Colchester achieved a 10th place finish in the championship, their record highest finish. This despite having the division’s lowest average attendance. The following season, Colchester were relegated back to League One. In 2016, they finished 23rd and were relegated to League Two, where the club are currently competing. Comment who I should do
