Colchester United Football Club is an English football team who, after finishing 2nd in League One will compete in the Championship in 2006/07.
The club was formed in 1937, and briefly shared their Layer Road home with now defunct side Colchester Town F.C.. First admitted to the league in 1950, they play at Layer Road in Colchester. The ground was originally used by Colchester Town as far back as 1910. It was bought from the Army in 1919. Colchester have remained a lower division club throughout their league history; their highest ever finish came at the end of last season, finishing second in League One and gaining promotion to the second-tier of English football.
Colchester United are perhaps most famous for beating Don Revie's Leeds United 3-2 in the 5th round of the FA Cup in 1971.
