'''Dagenham & Redbridge Football Club''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|d|æ|ɡ|ən|əm|...|ˈ|r|ɛ|d|b|r|ɪ|dʒ}}), often known simply as '''Dagenham''' and abbreviated when written to '''Dag & Red''', is a professional [[association football]] club based in [[Dagenham]], [[Greater London]], [[England]] that play in the {{English football updater|Dagenh&R}}, the sixth level of the [[English football league system]]. They are nicknamed '''the Daggers''' and play their home games at [[Victoria Road, Dagenham|Victoria Road]].

The club was formed in 1992 through a [[Football club mergers|merger]] of [[Dagenham F.C.|Dagenham]] and [[Redbridge Forest F.C.|Redbridge Forest]], the latter merged from [[Ilford F.C.|Ilford]], [[Leytonstone F.C.|Leytonstone]] and [[Walthamstow Avenue F.C.|Walthamstow Avenue]]. The club's traditional colours are red and blue, to represent the merged teams. The club replaced Redbridge Forest in the [[1992–93 Football Conference|Football Conference]] but were relegated in 1996. They won the [[Isthmian League]] title in 1999–2000 and qualified for the next three Conference play-offs, missing out on the 2001–02 title on goal difference and losing the [[2003 Football Conference play-off final|2003 Conference play-off final]]. They secured promotion into the [[English Football League|Football League]] after winning the Conference title in the 2006–07 season. They then moved up from [[EFL League Two|League Two]] after winning the [[2010 Football League Two play-off final|2010 play-off final]], though were relegated the next season after finishing 21st in [[EFL League One|League One]]. Dagenham were relegated back into [[National League (English football)|non-League football]] in [[2016–17 National League|2016]]. They suffered a further relegation to the [[National League South]] in [[2024–25 National League|2024–25]].

==History==

===Formation===
Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. was formed in 1992 following a merger between two clubs&nbsp;– '''[[Dagenham F.C.|Dagenham]]''' and '''[[Redbridge Forest F.C.|Redbridge Forest]]'''.<ref name="Digger Dagger">{{cite web |url=http://www.fansfocus.net/dagenhamandredbridge/index.asp?stid=8201322 |title=History of Dagenham & Redbridge FC |access-date=1 November 2012 |work=DiggerDagger.com |date=7 November 2001 |archive-date=23 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190923135611/http://www.fansfocus.net/dagenhamandredbridge/index.asp?stid=8201322 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> Both clubs had fallen on hard times due to dwindling attendances. The club can trace back its ancestry to 1881 as Redbridge Forest was an amalgamation of three of the amateur game's most famous clubs, '''[[Ilford F.C.|Ilford]]''', '''[[Leytonstone F.C.|Leytonstone]]''' and '''[[Walthamstow Avenue F.C.|Walthamstow Avenue]]'''.<ref name="Digger Dagger"/><ref name="History">{{cite web |url=http://www.daggers.co.uk/club/history/ |title=History |access-date=1 November 2012 |publisher=Dagenham & Redbridge F.C |archive-date=1 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200801112548/https://www.daggers.co.uk/club/history/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> Between the clubs they won the [[FA Trophy]] once, [[FA Amateur Cup]] seven times, [[Isthmian League]] 20 times, [[Athenian League]] six times, [[Essex Senior Cup]] 26 times and [[London Senior Cup]] 23 times.<ref name="Digger Dagger"/>

===Non-League===
Dagenham & Redbridge spent its inaugural season in the [[Football Conference]] taking the place of Redbridge Forest.<ref name="Digger Dagger"/> The club's first fixture in its new guise was on 25 July 1992, an 8–0 thrashing of [[Great Wakering Rovers F.C.|Great Wakering Rovers]] in a [[Exhibition game|friendly]].<ref name="Digger Dagger"/> The first competitive result was a 2–0 win over [[Merthyr Tydfil F.C.|Merthyr Tydfil]] in the Conference.<ref name="Digger Dagger"/>

Dagenham & Redbridge spent several seasons in the Football Conference but was relegated to the [[Isthmian League]] Premier Division in 1996. The club remained in that division until winning promotion in 1999–2000, going on to establish itself as one of the strongest clubs in the Conference, finishing third, second and fifth in its first three seasons back following promotion.

The club was narrowly beaten to the Conference title by [[Boston United F.C.|Boston United]] in 2002 on goal difference. Boston United was subsequently found guilty of inappropriately making illegal payments to its players in its title-winning season. Dagenham & Redbridge attempted unsuccessfully to have itself declared Conference Champions, and therefore take Boston's contentious place in [[The Football League]]. A four-point deduction was put in place against Boston United for the following season but not for the season in which the irregularities had been committed.

The Daggers then declined somewhat, finishing the [[2003–04 in English football|2003–04]], [[2004–05 in English football|2004–05]] and [[2005–06 in English football|2005–06 seasons]] in mid-table. On 27 February 2004 the club were hammered 9–0 at home by [[Hereford United F.C.|Hereford United]], equalling the record highest winning margin in the Conference.<ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_conf/3489720.stm Dag & Red 0–9 Hereford] BBC Sport, 27 February 2004</ref>

The [[2006–07 in English football|2006–07 season]] saw Dagenham & Redbridge battle it out with [[Oxford United F.C.|Oxford United]] for the top of the league spot. Despite Oxford quickly racing to the top, a collapse in Oxford's form combined with an excellent run for the Daggers saw them overtake Oxford in the league. On 7 April, Dagenham & Redbridge beat [[Aldershot Town F.C.|Aldershot Town]] 2–1 to build an unbeatable lead in the league, becoming Conference champions, meaning the club would play in the [[Football League]] for the first time in its history.<ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_conf/6513465.stm Dag & Red 2–1 Aldershot] BBC Sport, 7 April 2007</ref><ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/d/dagenham_and_redbridge/6532833.stm Daggers delight at promotion prize] BBC Sport, 7 April 2007</ref>

===2007–2015: Football League===
Dagenham & Redbridge played its first match in the Football League on 11 August 2007, a 1–0 defeat to [[Stockport County F.C.|Stockport County]].<ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_3/6931028.stm Stockport 1–0 Dag & Red] BBC Sport, 11 August 2007</ref> The club won its first Football League game at home to [[Lincoln City F.C.|Lincoln City]] on 1 September 2007.<ref>[https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_3/6963604.stm Dag & Red 1–0 Lincoln] BBC Sport, 1 September 2007</ref> The Daggers finished the season in 20th place, ensuring a second season of Football League competition. The [[2008–09 Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. season|following season]], the Daggers reached their highest ever position of eighth.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} They narrowly missed out on the League Two play-offs after losing to [[Shrewsbury Town F.C.|Shrewsbury Town]] at home on the final day of the season.<ref>[http://www.football.co.uk/dagenham_redbridge/dag__red_1-2_shrewsbury_rss98435.shtml Dag Red 1–2 Shrewsbury] Football.co.uk, 2 May 2009</ref>

The [[2009–10 Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. season|2009–10]] season saw the Daggers promoted from [[Football League Two|League Two]] to [[Football League One|League One]] via the play-offs. They defeated [[Rotherham United F.C.|Rotherham United]] in a dramatic 3–2 [[2010 Football League Two play-off final|play-off final]] at [[Wembley Stadium|Wembley]] on 30 May 2010. Twice the Daggers took the lead, only to concede moments later. [[Jon Nurse]] regained the advantage for Dagenham & Redbridge, scoring a scrappy 70th-minute winner.<ref>{{cite news|last=Fletcher |first=Paul |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_3/8701564.stm |title=Dagenham & Redbridge 3–2 Rotherham |publisher=BBC Sport |date=30 May 2010 |access-date=9 May 2011}}</ref> The Daggers first game in League One was a 2–0 defeat to [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]]. It was an unsuccessful season in League One as they finished 21st and were relegated on the last day of the [[2010–11 Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. season|2010–11]] season back to League Two.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/sport/9014617.DAGGERS__Posh_defeat_confines_Dagenham_to_drop/ |title=Peterborough 5 Daggers 0 |work=East London and West Essex Guardian Series |publisher=Newsquest (London) |date=8 May 2011 |access-date=9 May 2011}}</ref>

They eventually finished the [[2011–12 Dagenham & Redbridge F.C. season|2011–12]] season in 19th place back in League Two.<ref name="FCHD"/> John Still left the club during the 2012–13 season to join Luton Town after nine years at the helm. The Daggers would finish in 22nd.<ref name="FCHD"/> Following the club's safety from relegation, Wayne Burnett was appointed as manager on a permanent basis after a spell as caretaker manager. Despite an inconsistent start to the [[2013–14 in English football|2013–14]] season, Dagenham & Redbridge finished in a respectable ninth place. 

However, the club faced a [[2013 English match fixing scandal|match fixing scandal]] during the season. Following newspaper reports, an investigation launched by the [[National Crime Agency]] jailed two players and businessman, Krishna Ganeshan, Chann Sankaran and [[Michael Boateng]], a [[Whitehawk F.C.|Whitehawk]] player, for match-fixing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.croydonguardian.co.uk/news/10859213.Two_footballers_charged_with_match_fixing/?ref=twtrec|title=Two footballers charged with match fixing|date=5 December 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Two Whitehawk FC players charged with match fixing|url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10859207.Two_Whitehawk_FC_players_charged_with_match_fixing|work=The Argus|date=5 December 2013 |access-date=6 December 2013}}</ref> [[Moses Swaibu]] was similarly charged in January 2014.<ref>{{cite news|title=Match-fixing: Third footballer charged|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-25781813|work=BBC News|date=17 January 2014|access-date=17 January 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Third former Whitehawk footballer charged in match-fixing investigation|url=http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/10946522.Third_former_Whitehawk_footballer_charged_in_match_fixing_investigation/|work=The Argus|date=17 January 2014 |access-date=17 January 2014}}</ref>

In the [[2014–15 Football League Cup|2014–15 League Cup]], the Daggers played out an entertaining 6–6 match with [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]] before losing the subsequent penalty shootout. The League Cup paid tribute to the historic match by removing the goal nets at Victoria Road, putting them on display at the [[National Football Museum]].{{citation needed|date=September 2023}}

In the 2015–16 season, the Daggers started the season poorly.{{citation needed|date=September 2023}} Burnett was sacked in December 2015, to be replaced by John Still. In the [[2015–16 FA Cup]], Dagenham & Redbridge visited [[Premier League]] club [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] in the third round, losing 2–0.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/35211391 |title=Everton 2–0 Dagenham & Redbridge |author=Caroline Chapman |publisher=BBC Sport |date=9 January 2016 |access-date=3 October 2023}}</ref> Still was unable to save Dagenham & Redbridge from relegation in his third spell.
