Dorking F.C. are a football club based in Dorking, Surrey, England. They were formed in 1880 and are the second oldest club in Surrey. They were the founder members of the Surrey County Senior League in 1922. In the 1992-93 season, they reached the First Round Proper of the FA Cup for the first time in their history. In the 2005-06 season they played in the Isthmian League Division Two but as a result of the restructuring of non-league football they now play in the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division. Their club captain was Stewart Vaughan who died after suffering from terminal cancer.

On Tuesday 27 February 2007 a special benefit match was played in his honour in which Portsmouth came from the south coast to face Dorking. Before the match players from young local football clubs were there to greet Vaughan with a special plaque. A record midweek floodlit attendance of 2,206 people watched the match in which Vaughan played the first five minutes of the match before being substituted. In the end Pompey beat Dorking 7-0 with goals from Svetoslav Todorov (3), Lomana LuaLua, Roudolphe Douala, Matthew Taylor and Berlin Ndebe-Nlome.

On Tuesday 3 April 2007 another benefit match was played, just 48 hours after Vaughan's passing, against a Crystal Palace XI. Two minutes' silence was observed by the players, officials and supporters, to show their respect and fondness for the former captain before the game, in which 1,201 spectators saw Palace beat Dorking 5-1.
