Prestwich Heys A.F.C. is an amateur football club situated in Prestwich, Greater Manchester, England. Heys run two senior sides with the first team competing in the Manchester Football League Premier Division and the reserves team which compete in the Manchester Football League Division Two (reserves division). Heys also run a number of junior sides catering for all age groups up to under seventeen years old. The origins of Prestwich Heys A.F.C. can be traced back to February 9, 1938 when a meeting was called at the music room of the Heys Road Boys' School at which Elgar Lumsden put forward the idea of forming an old boys' association. Attending that first meeting were messrs Bridge, Stott, Foster, Taplin and Alan Proctor Bell, who was to become a central figure in the club's history and whose progress he was to report on in the Prestwich Guide under the guise of 'Touchliner'.
