This classic Addison 1871 rugby shirt is inspired by the founding members of the RFU.

ADDISON F.C.

FOUNDER MEMBER OF THE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION

Addison were founded in 1869 with about 50 members and fielded two XXs.

The club originated in the part of Kensington to the west of Holland Park. The streets are named after Joseph Addison, the politician and writer. Addison himself once lived at Holland House in Holland Park.

Addison originally played and changed at the red House Farm, in what is now called Little Wormwood Scrubs.

In 1872 the club moved to the ‘Rifle Pavilion’ on the corner of Wood Lane and North Pole Road. The club moved again in 1874 to Shepherd’s Bush Green.

Addison disbanded in 1875
