Supporting Grassroots Football

 

The Old Esthameians are one of the oldest surviving amateur football clubs in East London.  
 

Why not become a supporter and help us build on our football legacy and become part of something more.

 

All money raised goes directly to promoting grassroots football. Becoming a supporter is also great fun. There is more to football than just the Premier League.  
 

What else are you doing when Saturday comes?
