History

The club's name derives from its foundation in 1962 with a team of former pupils, with some teachers and current pupils, of Alleyne's Grammar School, Stone, Staffordshire (now Alleyne's Academy). The club started in Division 4 of the Stafford Amateur League, gaining promotion to Division 3 in their second season.
