| Synopsis – Founding | Founded in the streets near the Thames by 14 and 15 year olds, they managed to get themselves into local leagues as they moved from place to place, but gaining entry to the Kent league saw them make the move to professional status and were admitted to the third division when it expanded to a north and south section in 1921 |
| Synopsis – Major Events | After a non descript start to league life they managed to reach the top flight before the second world war and managed to get to consecutive FA cup finals straight after the war, before sling back in to second division mediocrity. Then in the 1980’s they went perilously close to going out of business, and spent a number of years ground sharing with other clubs. |
| Synopsis – Recent Times | They have managed to build themselves up to a level where they are now a consistent premiership team, and are on a sound financial base, and are trying to get to that next level. |
| Synopsis – Strange Facts | They are the only team to get to an FA Cup final having previously lost in the competition, as the 1946 event was held over two legs. They are also the only team to have won a game having Conceded 6 goals, when they beat Huddersfield 7-6. |
