Old Etonians F.C.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Old Etonians Football Club is an English football club whose players are taken from previous attendees of Eton College, in Eton, Berkshire
Founded by Lord Kinnaird in 1865[1], they were the last amateur or "true blue" club to win the FA Cup on 25th March 1882 when they beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at The Oval. They lost 2-1 after extra time to another Blackburn club, Blackburn Olympic, the following year.
In all, they reached the final six times in nine years between 1875 and 1883, winning twice.
In modern times, Old Etonians are members of the Amateur Football Alliance and play in the Arthurian League.
