During the 1905–06 English football season, New Brompton F.C. competed in the Southern League Division One. The team began the season in poor form; they failed to score any goals in six of their first eight Southern League games and by midseason they were near the bottom of the league table. In the new year the team had three wins in the first seven Southern League games of 1906, but failed to score in eight of the final nine league games. New Brompton finished the season in 17th place out of 18 teams in the division. New Brompton also competed in the FA Cup, reaching the second round. The team played a total of 37 league and cup matches, winning 8, drawing 9 and losing 20. Bill Marriott was the club's top goalscorer, with four goals in the Southern League and one in the FA Cup. Joe Walton (pictured) made the most appearances, playing in 36 of the team's 37 games. The highest attendance recorded at Priestfield Road, was 5,500 for a game against Portsmouth on 27 January 1906.
