SE Dons – History
Founded in 2014 by John McHugh, his son Andrew and son-in-law Ryan Palmer, SE Dons has grown from a Sunday League side into one of the most recognisable grassroots football clubs in the country.
The club built a huge online following through its matchday content and behind-the-scenes videos, attracting over 240,000 YouTube subscribers and millions of followers across its social media platforms. That exposure has made SE Dons one of the most followed non-league football clubs in England while helping shine a spotlight on grassroots football.
In 2024, the club took a major step towards the National League System by taking over Forest Hill Park, ensuring the club’s survival and competing under that banner during the 2024/25 season. It proved to be a memorable campaign, with the team reaching the SCEFL Challenge Cup Final, Division One Cup Final and the First Division Play-Off Final, although they narrowly missed out on silverware and promotion.
Competing under their own name for the first time in 2025/26, SE Dons enjoyed a landmark season. A second-place finish was followed by a 4-2 victory over Rochester United in the First Division Play-Off Final, securing promotion to the SCEFL Premier Division and Step 5 football for the first time in the club’s history.
Managed by Antonio Gonnella, the 2026/27 season marks another significant milestone as the Dons prepare for their FA Cup debut while competing against some of the most established clubs in the Southern Counties East Football League.
Beyond football, SE Dons remains committed to its community and the values on which the club was founded, proudly honouring those who have helped shape its remarkable journey.
