History[edit]

Hashtag United Football Club was formed in March 2016 by Spencer Owen, a football YouTuber who went by the name Spencer FC. Owen had begun making YouTube videos in 2013 as a student at the University of Reading, and the team initially consisted of friends from school and university.[1]

From their foundation, the team primarily played five, seven and eleven-a-side exhibition matches, which were filmed and uploaded to their YouTube channel. By September 2016, the team's Instagram account had over 100,000 followers, their Twitter account 41,000, and a 'penalty challenge' video uploaded to YouTube had accumulated over one million views. Hashtag United played various teams including a Comedians XI whom they beat 19–1, Google, the GB Deaf Team, Barawa and a Manchester City staff team, with opponents fielding former professional footballers such as Paul Dickov, Graeme Le Saux and Ray Parlour, and celebrities including Omid Djalili. At one point in 2016, the club was rumoured to be interested in signing professional footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa.[1] In 2017 the club won the EE Wembley Cup, a competition that Owen had created in 2015.[2] The team included Scott Pollock, who went on to sign professional terms with Northampton Town.[3]

Ahead of the 2018–19 season, the club joined the English football league system, initially being placed in Division One of the Spartan South Midlands League, before being moved to the Eastern Counties League after appealing that it was more suited to their Essex roots.[4] After joining the pyramid, Spencer Owen stepped down as manager and was replaced by former East Thurrock United assistant manager Jay Devereux. Their first competitive match was a 3–2 away loss to Little Oakley on 4 August 2018.[5] The club's first league season saw them reach the semi-finals of Division One Knock-Out Cup.[6] They went on to win the Division One South title, earning promotion to the Essex Senior League.[7] The 2019–20 season was abandoned due to the coronavirus pandemic with the club second in the league, a point behind the leaders and with three matches in hand.

Other teams[edit]

The club currently operates a reserve and development mens side as well as a number of development men and womans youth teams.[8][9] The youth section of the club was merged with Forest Glade for the start of the 2020–21 season.[10][11] In April 2020 the club announced that they would have a women's team, Hashtag United Women, from the start of the 2020–21 season as a result of a merger with AFC Basildon.[12][13][14] The women's team plays in the FA Women's National League, the fourth tier.[15] The club also has an eSports team.[16]

The club operates a Sunday league team, which was established in 2017 under the name West Oviedo and joined Division Two of the Brentwood Sunday League.[17] They were runners-up in their first season and were promoted to Division One. They went on to win Division One in 2018–19.[18] The club also had a team named Hashtag Academy that played in the seven-a-side Next Level Football League.[19]

Colours and badge[edit]

Hashtag United's colours are yellow and blue.[20] The club's first kit was a yellow shirt, with blue sleeves, shorts and yellow socks. In January 2017, the club signed a kit deal with Umbro until the end of 2018. This saw the club's colours changed to blue, with yellow streaks down the side of the shorts. This kit deal was the first of its kind for an amateur team.[21] The club's first shirt sponsor was EE.[22] From 2017–18, the shirt sponsor was online game Top Eleven.[23] The online gambling company 188 Bet were briefly the sleeve sponsor of the club. Ahead of the 2018–19 season, the club signed a new kit deal with Adidas, which saw the club's home shirt returned to the traditional yellow and blue they had originally worn.[24]

The club's badge is yellow and blue, with the club's name emblazoned on the horizontal lines of a hashtag symbol.
