Overview[]

The 1884-85 season was Fulham's (then known as St Andrew's) third in regard to organised football. No cup competitions were entered and all matches played were friendlies. All home matches were played at Lillie Road, a site just a short walk away from where Craven Cottage is.

The list of matches recorded are certainly incomplete but it would seem a very successful season for the club, with all matches with a known result being a victory for St Andrew's.

Some of these matches were reported in the West London Observer and/or Sporting Life newspapers.
