Corinthian F.C.

Corinthian Football Club was an English amateur football club based in London, that played at various venues including Crystal Palace, Queen's Club and Leyton. They were founded in 1882 by N. Lane Jackson, assistant secretary of the Football Association (FA), with the intention of upholding the ideals of amateurism and developing a squad capable of challenging the supremacy of the Scotland national team.

Their overseas tours helped popularise football around the world; the 2000 and 2012 FIFA World Club Champions, SC Corinthians Paulista, are named after the club; the 2015 World Club Champions, Real Madrid, changed their usual white to wear the Corinthian's uniform for one season, in their honour.

In 1939, the club amalgamated with another amateur club, Casuals F.C., to form Corinthian-Casuals F.C.
