London Welsh F.C.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For the Rugby Union team, see London Welsh R.F.C.

London Welsh F.C. were an English football team that were formed as early as 1891. They lost emphatically in the 1891-92 season 0-12 to Millwall Athletic. They played in the London League for at least the 1896-97 season, in which they finished 7th of seven. They were suspended towards the end of the season, and the points from their two remaining games went to their opponents, Thames Ironworks F.C., who as a result finished second.

London Welsh were also members of the Southern Olympian League Premier Division in the 1926-27 season.
