Dulwich Hamlet Football Club is an English football club who play at Champion Hill stadium in Dulwich, in the London Borough of Southwark. Formed in 1893, they joined the Isthmian League a few years later 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 against France, Belgium and Spain in 1929, 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. Dulwich Hamlet once had a very large ground for an amateur football club, but have now sold parts for a local Sainsbury's store.
The club is renowned for turning out professional players such as George Ndah, Simeon Jackson, Albert Jarrett, Carl Asaba, Leon Cort, George Elokobi, Marlon King and Dave McEwen. Chris Dickson is most recent pro to come out of the club, moving to Charlton Athletic in January 2007, securing a two-and-a-half year deal with the club. He was signed for £400 from Erith & Belvedere, and sold for £35000, a fee that could rise to £50000. Dickson left with a record of 37 Goals in 41 appearances, in his one season.
Dickson and defender Lewis Tozer joined Dulwich around the same time from Erith & Belvedere in the summer of 2006 and both had successful seasons, with Tozer winning Managers Player of the Year Award and Players Player of the Year Award for Season 2006/2007. In the same season, Dulwich signed many respectable Non-League Players including ex-Millwall Keeper Simon Overland, Ex-Nottingham Forest and Stevenage Borough trialist Justyn Roberts and the Colossal Guyanese international Shawn Beveney. It was reported on the May 5, 2007 that midfielder Kenny Beaney was on trial with Portsmouth FC and this was confirmed after he made appearances for their reserves against Tottenham and Arsenal, after playing against the likes of Estonian International Mart Poom, Czech Republic Under-19 Striker Tomas Pekhart and Premiership Goalkeeper Ben Alnwick. He signed in the summer for Conference South side Fisher Athletic.
The 2007-08 season saw big changes at the club as Martin Eede stood down as Chairman and manager Wayne Burnett parted company with the club. They were replaced by Jack Payne and Craig Edwards repectively. It remains to be seen where they go from here.
They have a strong rivalry with Tooting & Mitcham United. Currently, Fisher Athletic are tenants due to their ground being redeveloped.
