Olympic Champions From Upton Park

I was just doing some reading about the Olympic football and stumbled on something I reckon (as an avid Hammer) I really should have known?
In 1900 Great Britain were represented by Upton Park FC who won the competition beating French side Club Français de Paris 4-0 in the final.
There was only 3 teams in the tournament which devalues it a bit, the other side was a Belgium XI which included a Frenchman, an Englishman and a Dutch player :)

Upton Park FC who played at West Ham Park aren't related to West Ham United who play at Upton Park despite the obvious links!!
The current West Ham team were still called Thames Ironworks and played at Canning town, the teams did share a few players but Upton Park were a strictly amateur club.
They were formed in 1866 and played in the very first FA Cup competition and reached the quarter finals 4 times.
Their glory moment came in 1900 when they were asked to represent Britain and won gold, and as it was 30 years before the World cup started could probably claim to be world champions :)
The team also supplied 4 England internationals (3 footballers and a cricketer!!).
Sadly they dissolved in 1911, although the name lives on for the obvious reason and in the Channel Islands where the annual play-off between the Jersey and Guernsey champions is named the Upton park trophy because of the clubs frequent visits to the islands.
