History

RYAN F.C. was formed in season 1994/95, and were originally known as Beaumont F.C. In their first season they joined the Ilford and District League and were placed in division 4. 

After one season, the club won promotion, and Richard Williams then decided to take complete control of the club and decided to re-name the club RYAN after his new born son.

In the season 1995/96 the club finished runners-up in Division 3 but won the cup finals. In season 1996/97 the club was promoted to Division 1 and again finished runners-up winning promotion to the Premier.

The season 1997/98 was more of a rebuilding season as Ryan reserves was formed and got to their Divisional cup final losing 2-1, and the first team finished fifth in the Premier.

1998/99 season was the year the club reached new heights. RYAN F.C. after losing their first game of the season then went on an amazing eighteen game unbeaten run. There was constant coverage in the local papers, Scouts coming down from top semi-pro clubs and even LEYTON ORIENT were showing an interest, which suddenly turned this small club in Chingford into something special. Players who had done it at a higher level and some who still are, all wanted to play for RYAN F.C.

At the end of the season we had won everything. The Romford Charity Cup, The East Ham Memorial Cup, The Premier Division but most of all we won the biggest one of them all at this level The 'ESSEX COUNTY CUP' consisting of 186 sides.
