standing for "No Names"[1] —was an amateur English football club based in the Kilburn district of London.
[2] It was one of the eleven founding sides of the Football Association on 26 October 1863,[3] and was represented by club captain Arthur Pember, who was elected as the FA's first president.
In the 1869–70 season, the club often had to play without new captain Tebbutt[7] and by the time of the club's final reported match - a defeat by Upton Park FC on 5 February 1870 - only seven members turned up to play.
[13] The club originally played in a field adjoining the Edgware Road in Kilburn, but did not play any home matches from December 1866 until the next season because it was frequently under water;[14] in 1867 the club secured a pitch near St Mark's Church,[15] a 10-minute walk from Edgware Road station.
[18] The club's nickname of the Mudlarks came from the poor state of its original Edgware Road ground,[19] described as a "mire".
