[1] The club was a founder member of the Essex Football Association in 1882,[2] and entered the FA Cup in 1882–83.

Drawn at home to Great Marlow in the first round, the visitors won 2–0, with their inexperience being shown up by not appealing for offside against the first goal until after kicking off again, preventing the referee from considering it.

[10] A fifth-place finish in the Premier Division that season (despite a 10-point deduction for going into administration) was also enough for the club to earn a place in the new Conference South.

[7] With several debutants and youth players, the team lost the match against Boston United 5–2, and subsequently folded at the end of the 2004–05 season.

[10] The club was quickly reformed under the name AFC Hornchurch,[7] and were placed in the Essex Senior League (three levels below the Conference South) by the Football Association on 19 May.

[13] Their first season in the Conference South saw AFC Hornchurch finish 20th, resulting in relegation back to the Isthmian League Premier Division.

[15] In 2016–17 a fourth-place finish led to another playoff campaign, with the club losing 1–0 to Thurrock in the semi-finals.

[16] They finished the league season in fourth place, going on to beat Enfield Town 3–2 in the play-off semi-finals before losing the final 3–2 to Cheshunt.

After beating Cray Wanderers 4–2 on penalties after a 3–3 draw in the semi-finals, they lost 1–0 to Aveley in the final.
