1. Sheffield FC:
Founded in 1857, Sheffield FC is widely regarded as the world's oldest football club. They played their first game in 1860 against a team from nearby Hallam FC. The match was played under the Sheffield Rules, which were a set of guidelines that would later form the basis of modern football. Sheffield FC still exists today and plays in the Northern Premier League Division One East.
2. Croydon FC:
Croydon FC, also known as Croydon Common FC, was founded in 1898 and played in the Southern League until 1917. They were one of the first teams to adopt the 2-3-5 formation, which was the standard formation in football until the 1950s. Despite being one of the oldest clubs in the country, Croydon FC folded in 1917 due to financial difficulties.
