In 2000 a couple of boys aged 5 that went to school together, were finding it hard to get settled into any local football teams. One of the boys asked his Dad to start a team of his own and see if any other boys of the same age would join from the area. That Dad was Liam Quinn. Liam agreed to try and arranged for the two boys to go to Eversley playing fields the following Saturday, and spread the word to their friends that if they wanted , they could come over and join in.

The first week four boys came to the training session and seemed to enjoy the surroundings. Over the coming months the number of boys training grew and grew and when the winter came they moved to indoor training with numbers exceeding 20 boys. In the Spring of the following year they had enough boys to make teams and  looked to join a local club .  Liam worked hard to link with Beech United. 

They were entered as one team of under 7,s and played exhibition matches and small tournaments. After the presentation of that year he decided to try and go separate ways from Beech and form his own club. However, Liam knew that he would need help and would need to split the boys into separate teams for different age groups. Liam turned to the other original boy's dad,  Jason Emery, who agreed to help.

In 2001 Signet United Youth was formed and officially entered into the Essex F.A. Signet joined the Thundermite League and most of their teams still play there today. Signet have continued to grow year after year and each year brings success and trophies.

In 2004 Liam stepped down from Chairman for health reasons and Jason Emery was voted in as Chairman of a twenty person committee, which represents every team in the club and a separate parent coaches association (P.C.A).  However,  Signet will always remember the hard work contributed by Liam. Since they were formed Signet United have won three League titles , adding several tournament victories and two national competitions.  They have also taken part in two league cup finals. Signet continues to progress and hopefully more silverware will come their way for many years in the future.
