History
The club was formed in 1875 and initially known as Hanover United, although the present name applied to the wider Polytechnic organisation – which included a multitude of sports teams alongside artistic, religious and social groups – from the beginning. It was the first club in the world to have the name ‘United’ in its title, paving the way for others such as Manchester United.
Before that the club can lay claim to having had a say in the formation of the original rules of Association Football. The Cambridge Old Etonians of founder Quintin Hogg and his friend the legendary gentleman footballer Arthur Kinnaird, who featured for the Poly for many years, faced the Cambridge Old Harrovians in 1862 – the first time that two institutions had played under common rules which mirror those in use today.
