Histon Football Club is an English football club based in the twin villages of Histon and Impington, approximately 5 kilometres (3 miles) north of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire. In the 2007-08 season they compete for the first time in the Conference National, after having won and been promoted from the Conference South in 2006-07, the highest level that the club has ever reached in the English football league system. Their current manager is Steve Fallon.
Histon are nicknamed "The Stutes", originating from the club's previous name Histon Institute, and they play their home matches at Bridge Road in Impington. Histon's crest features a rose, the flower representing the rose-covered field given to the club by local firm Chivers. Chivers was a jam factory, and the major employer in Histon & Impington. The company's chairman, John Chivers, helped to found the Histon Institute in 1903, from where Histon F.C. has its origins.
Histon play in red and black, their traditional colours, with red jerseys, black shorts and black socks. Their current away kit is sky blue shirts, royal blue shorts and sky blue socks.
Histon's traditional rivals used to be Ely City, but the clubs have not met in recent years and Histon now consider nearer neighbours Cambridge City and Cambridge United as current-day rivals, as they are now in the same division as United and one above City.
