On this day in 1899


Recommended Posts

Division 2 Hillsborough just opened 3 wins in the bag - short trip to Loughborough F.C. who  finished bottom of the League, conceding 100 goals in 34 games, winning only a single game and collecting only 8 points of a possible 68, arguably the worst record in the history of the League - only Doncaster Rovers have an equally low points record,

 

Imagine the fall out on Victorian Owlstalk !

Do Loughborough F.C. still exsist?

No - After failing to gain re-election to the League in 1900, the club applied for acceptance back into the Midland League, but failed to turn up for the fixtures meeting on 9 June. On 29 June a meeting was held when it was decided that the club was defunct.
