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.
