Grays United F.C. was a football club based in Grays, Essex, England. The club played at the Recreation Ground.[1]
The club joined Division Two of the Southern League in 1899.[2] In 1900–01 they finished second and qualified for the promotion-relegation test matches. However, after the game against Division One club Watford ended 0–0, Grays refused to play extra time, and were subsequently not promoted.[3] The following season they finished runners-up again, and faced a test-match for a second successive season, this time against Brentford. The match, played at the Memorial Grounds, was drawn 1–1, but the club again refused to play extra time, and were not promoted.[3]
The club withdrew from the Southern League at the end of the 1905–06 season and merged with Grays Juniors to form Grays Athletic.
