The club was founded in 1891[1] by the headmaster of the Ealing Preparatory School for Boys, Mr Wynne Hall.

[5] Ealing's greatest honour on the national stage was reaching the final of the FA Amateur Cup in 1903–04, but lost 3–1 to Sheffield at Valley Parade.

[10] The Argonauts had an arrangement to play at Wembley Stadium, which was otherwise only being used for internationals and the FA Cup final, but, after the Argonauts' application to join the Football League was refused, Sloley arranged for Ealing to move to Wembley, as an encouragement for amateur football as a whole.

[12] The club's fortunes declined after the Second World War, due to the loss of its private ground and needing to rent local authority property.

[16] They were generally worn in halves until 1969, with "dark" shorts, when the design changed to green shirts with red trimmings.
