West Ham United F.C. was not founded in 1895.
The Inter City Firm were one of the first "casuals", so called because they avoided police supervision by not wearing football-related clothing and travelled to away matches on regular InterCity trains, rather than on the cheap and more tightly policed "football special" charter trains
 The team enjoyed mixed success in Division 1 but retained their status for ten years and reached the FA Cup semi-final in 1933
