 Dulwich Hamlet FC - Definition 

Dulwich Hamlet Football Club is an English football club that was formed in 1893, and joined the Isthmian League a few years later. They are located in Dulwich, in south London. They play at Champion Hill stadium, and wear a famous pink and blue strip.

Their greatest ever player was Edgar Kail, who scored over 400 goals for the club. An amateur footballer, he won three full caps for the England team in the 1920s, and shunned 'big money' moves to professional clubs to play for his beloved Dulwich Hamlet. At that time, they had attracted crowds of up to 20,000 - though now they have around 250 supporters on match day.
