Old Etonians

Old Etonians FC is an English football club whose players are taken from previous attendees of Eton College, in Eton, Berkshire.  They were founded by Lord Kinnaird and were the last amateur club to win the FA Cup on 25 March 1882 when they beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at The Oval. They lost 2-1 after extra time to Blackburn Olympic the following year.  In all, they reached the final six times in nine years between 1875 and 1883, winning twice. They also supplied a number of players for the England team, including three in one match against Wales in 1879. Old Etonians are now members of the Amateur Football Alliance and field three teams in the Arthurian League.
