Addison Rugby

Addison was a nineteenth century football club that played football by the rugby football codes. It is notable for being one of the twenty-one founding members of the Rugby Football Union.
Addison was established in 1869 with about fifty members. It fielded two teams of twenty aside for rugby matches. The derivation of the club's name is due to the clubs origins in the part of Kensington to the west of Holland Park where the streets are named after the politician Joseph Addison. The teams colours were blue and black.
