Ridgeway Rovers FC: The east London football club home to David Beckham and Harry Kane

2022-11-29 18

Children at an east London football club that has produced two England captains “dream that one day they might be like Harry Kane”.

Tucked in an unsuspecting corner of Chingford, Waltham Forest, is the Ridgeway Rovers FC.

But from Walthamstow to the World Cup, the club has taken its place in footballing history.

Founded in 1979, at the local park, the club is now famed as the first team both David Beckham and Harry Kane played for as boys, with Beckham now an honorary life president.

And Ridgeway also hopes to invite Kane to join their honorary presidents’ ranks soon.
