The Dulwich Raider Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Hi all, My piece about why I fell for Dulwich Hamlet FC was re-posted on Deserter this week:http://deserter.co.uk/2014/07/11-reasons-to-follow-dulwich-hamlet-fc/Since writing it, I've thought of a 12th reason which I should/would have included (perhaps it can come on as a sub): The historyThe club was born in the Victorian era, featured such footballing greats as Tommy Jover, Bert Coleman and Edgar Kail (the last amateur to play for England) and its old stadium saw arrendances of up to 20,000 in its heyday. There is more on it here: http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/a/club-history-30677.htmlTDR Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/69489-11-reasons-to-follow-dulwich-hamlet-fc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
