Fulham started its existence in 1879 as St Andrew’s Cricket & Football Club, founded by worshippers at St. Andrew’s Church, Fulham on Star Road, West Kensington, which still stands today with a plaque commemorating the team’s foundation. They won the West London Cup in 1887 and, having shortened the name to its present form in 1888, they then won the West London League in 1893 at the first attempt. The club’s first-ever kit was dark and light blue halved shirts with white shorts. Fulham started playing at their current ground Craven Cottage in 1896, their first game against now-defunct rivals Minerva F.C.
