Billingham Town F.C. is a football club based in Billingham, England. In 1982, they joined the newly formed Northern League Division Two. They reached the 5th round of the FA Vase in the 1997-98 season. They are currently members of the Northern League Division One.
Their home ground is Bedford Terrace, and the reserve team of Hartlepool United frequently plays its fixtures there. As a result a pre-season match between the two clubs has become an annual event.
Central defender Gary Pallister began his career at Billingham Town where he started off as a defender, later moving to Middlesbrough and Manchester United where he moved back with age to the backline of defence. He also made 22 appearances for England between 1988 and 1996.
