In 2003 the club was the only one at its level to sell a player to a Football League team, when Luke Varney moved to Crewe Alexandra for £50,000. Dion Dublin also once played for the club. In 1998 Newcastle United trained at the club's ground whilst staying in the area. Management asked if Alan Shearer would be willing to be photographed wearing Quorn's number 9 shirt, which he was, but unfortunately the shirt itself was unavailable as it was at the launderette at the time.
