Old Alleynian

Old Alleynian is the official title given to former pupils of Dulwich College. Named after Edward Alleyn, the school's founder, the title is often abbreviated to O.A. as post nominal letters in brackets in publications relating to the school.

Rugby team

There is an Old Alleynian Football Club which is steeped in tradition. It was formed in 1898 and uses the term 'Football' as opposed to 'Rugby' in its name. The club was formed by and for former pupils of Dulwich College.

The team are based on Dulwich Common and are involved in league rugby. They have reached as high as London first division and have also been finalists in the Surrey Cup three times, winning twice.

In 2003, the Old Alleynians beat Shipston upon Stour 16 -10 in the final of the Powergen Junior Vase, held at Twickenham. This was the same year that saw the club lose half of its clubhouse, destroyed in a fire.

Great players include Edward George, Baron George, Roger Knight, Nick Lloyd, Sam Blythe * [http://www.exeterchiefs.co.uk/site/1/PLAYERS.html?&ar_item=1100 Exeter Chiefs] , Nick Easter and Mark Easter and Ollie Smith.
