It was not. Villa were champions the year this team were in the first division.
And Bradford is quite a big town.
OK, I think it must be Bury, but I had to research it. How would anybody know that?
Bury had lots of seasons in the top division and have been in the football league for ages after 1915.
One of the two nicknames for this team is The Hillmen. The other is a big location clue..
I think it’s impossible without the Internet. Or every edition of Rothmans Football Yearbook. But the Villa clue and the fact that this team left the league in 1915 should narrow the search.
Correct! Still going, under their original name of Glossop North End. Their single season at the top also spanned two centuries, which I like.
All the other teams in the first Division in 1899/1900 are still in the League…..except Bury. And Villa, the champions, were the most southerly team represented, which is amazing now. Even the second division (there were no others) only had Woolwich Arsenal and Luton south of Birmingham.
No and no.
Matthaus a bit too old I’d have thought to overlap Ronaldo.
An outfielder anyway.
