Northern Football League

1891-1920

See also Main index Club directory Central Combination Central League Highland League Scottish Alliance Scottish Combination

The Northern League was formed in 1891 and was based initially around the counties of Forfarshire and Perthshire, and the city of Aberdeen. Later it would extend southwards into Fife. 1893-94 was one of three occasions the championship was not completed - the others were in 1911-12 and 1913-14 when the competition was very much debased. Although Arbroath were leading, the league was abandoned and not restarted until 8 June 1895 when it was reconstituted. Victoria United were one of the eight invited clubs, but by the time the league started the new season, they had been replaced by Fair City Athletic. 1908-09 was the last season that the league had a strong membership as the following season, six of its clubs helped to form the Central League. From then until 1920, the league became a secondary affair and an attempt at creating a new stronger, North Eastern League in 1912 with some Border clubs failed when the Eastern League was set up without the Forfarshire teams. The Northern League closed down for the war, although it was briefly revived for a season in 1919-20.

* At the end of the season Dundee 'A' claimed that they had been unable to complete their fixtures due to Hearts of Beath failing to turn up at Dens Park. If, as seemed likely, Dundee 'A' had beaten Hearts of Beath then they would have won the Championship (as they won their other outstanding fixture to lie just one point behind Kirkcaldy). The league decided to deduct all points won by both clubs against Hearts of Beath, which meant that both clubs finished equal. A play off would then decide the championship but Kirkcaldy United objected to this solution. At a special meeting of the Northern League at Dundee on 13 July 1907 an appeal by Kirkcaldy United was heard and the League came to the decision that the championship be held jointly by the two clubs.
