burdett fc vets

Our vets team currently compete in the biggest vets league in the country. We began with some of the club’s very first founding players, individuals whose passion for football built the foundations of who we are today. Formed from friendship, respect, and shared history, the team was created to preserve continuity across generations and to keep the community united both on and off the pitch. Guided by a circle of life model, we believe in giving back what football has given us, through mentorship, encouragement, and leadership. Our story isn’t just about the game; it’s about the people who’ve played it, the lessons learned along the way, and the strength we continue to draw from one another. We are more than just a vets team, we are the elders.

The vets are the pioneers who helped shape our history and identity. What began as a team of close friends united by their love of football has grown into a powerful symbol of continuity, strength and pride within our community. Guided by a circle of life model, we honour those who came before us by giving back, mentoring the next generation both on and off the pitch. Over the years, our players have achieved remarkable success: winning multiple London-based championships, progressing into higher level football and excelling in their careers and businesses.

More than trophies, our greatest achievement is the lasting community we’ve built. Through football, friendship and shared purpose, we’ve kept the Burdett FC name strong, inspiring the next generation to carry it forward with pride.
