FLAMINGOES F.C.

FOUNDER MEMBER OF THE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION

Flamingoes were founded in 1865 with about 95 members fielding for XXs.

They played at Battersea Park, 5 minutes walk from York Road Station and the Steamboat pier.

The Flamingoes changed at ‘The Clockhouse’ in Battersea Park Road.

Flamingos were, in their time, very much a first-class club with a fine fixture list – which included Blackheath, Harlequins and Richmond. When the Flamingoes disbanded in 1877, many of their players joined the Harlequin Football Club.
