[2] Although claiming a foundation date of 1873, the club's first external association rules match seems to have taken place in October 1875, against Hornsey Rovers.

[3] The club competed in the FA Cup in 1876–77, losing 5–0 at Rochester, and scratched its entry in 1877 when drawn to face the Royal Engineers.

[6] The club seems to have ceased to exist before the 1884–85 season, with many of its players (including captain Frank Webster) joining Romford.

[7] The club's colours were originally dark blue jerseys with a red Maltese cross on a white ground, red cap, and blue stockings.
