Read More »Wellington College, granted its Royal Charter in 1853 as the ‘Royal and Religious Foundation of The Wellington College’, was opened in 1859 both as a school and as a national memorial to the Duke of Wellington. It quickly became one of the great national boarding schools. It stands in an attractive 400 acre woodland estate in Crowthorne, Berkshire (although the school is not a metropolitan establishment, I have included it here because most of their early games were played against the ‘first class’ London sides). The following account of Wellington football in the early days is taken from the recollections of J.L. Bevir who was at Wellington as a pupil between 1870 and 1875. He returned to Wellington as an Assistant Master, and became a House Master in 1893. He retired in 1919. ‘The history of the early teams is rather misty, for with the exception of the first, no full teams were recorded until 1871… Something of the team of 1860: I find a record in the Kingsley Book that it was passed at an Upper School meeting that a certain number of fellows whom the head of the school deems the best football players receive as an honourable distinction a white star on the top of theirdormitory cap. Nineteen were so chosen that Autumn, and three more added in February… It must be remembered that the school only started in 1859, so that the oldest player could not have been much over 15 and consequently it was not thought fit to give that distinction to more than a limited number… By 1869 the number of caps given was 25 and in the following year this was reduced to 20, from which time onwards a complete list of the teams was published. In 1862 the star in the dormitory cap was replaced by a velvet cap with a dormitory badge on it. The dormitory symbols were: Blucher – Silver and Orange Fleur de lis. Anglesea – Silver and light blue star with eight points. Beresford – Brown and gold horseshoe. Hill – Silver and black skull and crossbones. Lynedoch – Gold and green maltese cross. Hopetoun – Gold and purple crescent and star. Murray – Gold and crimson crescent… To these were added later: Orange – Gold and black two-headed eagle. Hardinge – Gold and dark blue anchor. Combermere – Silver and blue lion rampant. Some of these caps, especially the Blucher, were extremely expensive, and as few fellows wore one when they had left Wellington all the caps were made of black velvet with the badge in gold…

In 1862 the match lasted for two days and has a note appended: ‘It was unfortunate that many fellows strained themselves on the first day and could not play on the second’… In 1865, at the instigation of Dr. Benson, following the then Rugby custom, all members of the Sixth were on ‘Big Side’, and wretched little scholars had to endure the vitipuration of the bigger football players or look on. This was changed later, and except in the Sixth versus School match smaller members of the Sixth were allowed to play on Second Side until they had qualified on their own merits to be invited to join Big Side. In 1865 it was decreed that not more than 75 should play on Big Side and this was reduced the next season to 60. That was the state of affairs when I went. 60 played on Big Side, the rest of the School on Little Side. In 1870 a new football ground was made for Middle Side… A record of an Oxford match is amusing. In November, 1861, 14 Oxford men and 4 Masters played 25 Caps who won by a goal to nil. In 1863 14 Oxford men and 3 Masters, next year 19 Oxford men and 2 Masters played The Caps with varying success, and it was not until two years later that Oxford Old Rugbeians brought a complete team. In that year the Old Wellingtonian match appears for the first time and ended in a draw. The other matches, with the exception of Richmond, were rather colourless and unexciting. A-M versus Rest, Odd numbers versus Even numbers etc… By this time the reputation of Wellington football was established. I remember being told, in the late ‘60s, by a prominent member of the Richmond team, that he had been to play at Wellington and had one of the hottest matches in which he had ever taken part. A great many Wellingtonians, on leaving school, joined the Richmond Football Club, and rose to celebrity… Ned Davenport, the Games Master, who always took the greatest interest, suggested we should back each other up more and always pass the ball when collared. We quickly tumbled to the enormous advantage to be gained thereby and began to do it. In those days no London club ever thought of it. Nobody did it. Everyone played a selfish game for himself and there was little cohesion…

Read More »By this time (the early 1870s) we had become first-rate in backing each other up and passing the ball… our opponents had scarcely yet tumbled to the enormous advantage of it. I know we easily beat Ravenscourt Park, drew, I believe, with Richmond and OWs, beat an Oxford team and then, the last Saturday I was at Wellington, we played and won the match versus the invincible Indian Engineering College, Cooper’s Hill, who had three internationals behind the scrimmage and had beaten both Universities and also Blackheath and Richmond. It was the hardest and best match I ever played and Ned Davenport always said the 1872 Wellington College team was, he thought, the best School team that probably ever played – and I think he was right…’ Wellington College has always had a fine Rugby football tradition and this remains the case today. The College regularly fields 22 teams on Saturday afternoons and as many boys as possible participate. The 1st XV were unbeaten between 1999 and 2001 and again in 2003, playing schools such as Radley, Eton and Harrow. It is their success in the Rosslyn Park National 7’s Tournament that has underlined their reputation as being one of the finest Rugby football playing schools in the country – and victory in 2005 means that Wellington has now won the tournament 8 times since 1991.
