GIPSIES F.C.
FOUNDER MEMBER OF THE RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION
Gipsies were founded in 1868.
The Gipsies first played on Peckham Rye Common, using changing facilities at the ‘Kings Arms’.
In 1875 they moved on to Putney, and a couple of years later they moved once more, to Wormwood Scrubs.
The club quickly became one of the biggest in London. Its heyday was the early 1870s, when it could boast the membership of over 100.
In their very short life of only 15 years, the Gipsies produced nine England Internationals totalling 21 caps and were more than a match for all the leading clubs of the day – including Blackheath, Clapham Rovers, Harlequins, Queen’s House, Marlborough Nomads, Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Ravenscourt Park and West Kent.
Gipsies disbanded in 1883
