Exeter Exiles Football Club

The Exeter Exiles Football Club was formed in 1995, so the club is now in its eleventh season.

The London based side play in the APFSCIL League Division 1 (click for league table) against other supporters groups from around the capital. All games are scheduled for Sunday afternoons to allow City fans to go and watch the "real" Grecians on a Saturday, and then pull on the red and white stripes themselves the following day.

BORN AND BRED

As a guide to our Devonianness, 21 of the 33 players used by the Exiles this season are genuine Grecians.

Of the 282 player appearances made this season, 200 were by the born-and-bred brigade and 82 were the converted or conversion-pending cases. Four of these 'ringers' have amassed thirty seasons with the Exiles.

32 of our 49 goals were scored by dyed in the wool Grecians (7 of our 10 goalscorers).
