Stockton St John's F.C. was an association football club based in the town of Stockton-on-Tees, England. The team joined the second division of the Northern League in 1898 following the resignation of Leadgate Exiles, and won the title in their first season.[1] Despite finishing as runners-up to Darlington in the First Division in 1899โ€“1900,[2] Stockton St John's subsequently struggled in the league and finished bottom of the table in 1902. Three matches into the 1903โ€“04 campaign, the club resigned from the Northern League and were replaced by Shildon Athletic.[3] Stockton St John's participated in the FA Cup on five occasions between 1899 and 1904, but never progressed past the first qualifying round.[4]
