  MissScarlett: I think this is <William Vaughan Underdown>. <W V Underdown> appears several times during the 1870s in connection with reports of athletic displays involving the <Railway Clearing House> sports' club. In one he's identified as <Railway Clearing House C.C.>

<William Vaughan Underdown>, according to an online family tree, was born 1848 (about the right age for a competitive athlete in the 1870s) died 1889, and generally lived in or around London.
