There is no need for three paragraphs in lead combine them in two.
Mention that the club supporters are known as misfits.
History
Link "treasurer".
Why in first instance the "treasurer" is capitalized but in the next sentence it isn't?
Cite needed for Dixon's death.
Cite needed for Hodgson's return and the change of his status at the club.
For the last two points, from "With Harry Dixon's death in 2002..." to "Stephen Moralee has now taken over as club secretary" is all covered by the History reference.

Colours and crest
Avoid using words like "famously"
WP:PEACOCK ; Check for similiar words in the article.
Cite needed for club/regional colours.
Cite needed for club crest.
Supporters
Maybe you could dig up some more info because currently this section looks very short and choppy.
Club records
Merge the three paragraphs containing info about cup runs into one.
Players
"The Northern League does not use a squad numbering system"; cite needed for this sentence.
I may have been wrong to put this in. There are photos online of players with numbers on their backs,
here for example, but there is no list of numbers for the squad on the official website or anywhere that I can find. Not sure what to do.

I don't think it needs a cite; it's not contentious, it's a fact. The starting players just wear 1–11, there are no registered numbers in the Northern Premier League.

Mainly needs some more references and article is good to go. Prose looks good and is neutral, references are formatted properly, images look good. I'll put the article on hold because the issues I've found are minor and shouldn't be hard to fix.

Well, to be fair it sounded a bit weird in first place, but try bring up this issue at
WP:FOOTBALL. Maybe there really are no strict rules in this league about having numbers on the back of the shirts and someone might clear up this issue for us and provide a possible reference.

The claim was not that they don't have numbers on their shirts at all in the Northern League, they definitely do. What they don't have is squad numbers i.e. player X is assigned a particular number at the start of the season and always wears that number. In the NL the eleven players who start a match simply wear numbers 1 to 11, no matter who they may be --
