Lausanne F.C.

It fielded two teams of twenty aside for rugby matches but also had a side which played by Association laws.

On 26 January 1871, they sent representation to a meeting of twenty-one London and suburban football clubs that followed Rugby School rules (Wasps were invited but failed to attend) assembled at the Pall Mall Restaurant in Regent Street.

A president, a secretary and treasurer, and a committee of thirteen were elected, to whom was entrusted the drawing-up of the laws of the game upon the basis of the code in use at Rugby School.

[4] Lausanne's final recorded association fixture was a 0–0 draw at home to the 1st Surrey Rifles in March 1872;[5] indeed at least five of the Lausanne regulars (Davenport, Foster, Dümmler, Dearle, and F. Maynard) were also members of the Surrey regiment, and played for the Riflemen in ensuing seasons.

[7] Lausanne were known to have used the pub called the "Rosemary Branch", on Southampton Street, Peckham, to change.
