Athenian F.C.

The Athenian Football Club, usually referred to in the media as Athenians, was a short-lived association football club from Edinburgh. History. The club was founded on 22 March 1887, taking its name from Edinburgh's nickname of the Athens of the North; the club was made up of rugby union players (mostly from Watsonians) trying their hand at the association game, and was considered to be a club founded on "a higher social basis than hitherto", with Ings, the Edinburgh University goalkeeper, as captain. The club's first match was a 5–0 defeat to the university at Corstorphine on 26 March, and its first match against an unrelated club came the following week, a 4–0 defeat to Heart of Midlothian in an hour-long game. Before the club's first (and only) full season, it hosted an athletics contest on 21 July at the Powderhall. The club had invited Queen's Park and Battlefield, both famous amateur clubs, to take part, but neither could turn up, and two Athenian teams took on Heartsand Hibernian in ten-minute matches at the close of proceedings, the club losing both matches heavily. Rather ambitiously, the club joined the Scottish Football Association in August 1887, and entered the 1887–88 Scottish Cup. It was drawn at home to West Calder in the first round, but had to switch the tie as it did not have a ground suitable to host the match, and was "very short-handed" following "little to no practice"; West Calder scored 5 with the wind in the first half and 4 in the second, the Athenians not getting on the scoresheet. The club's ambitions had over-run it; it had even set up a friendly with the mighty Vale of Leven following the West Calder tie, but judiciously telegraphed two days beforehand to say that the Athenians could not raise a team. There were higher hopes for the club's debut in the Edinburgh Shield, against fellow amateurs Adventurers, considered a "comparatively light one". Despite fielding a stronger side, the Athenians suffered another heavy defeat, this time 5–0; Adventurers scoring once against the run of play in the first half, but dominant in the second, the Athenian collapse put down to "want of combined action" and a lack of practice. The club continued playing friendlies through the season, against prestigious sides such as Queen's Park, Dumbarton, and St Bernards, but suffering heavy defeats every time. Enthusiasm ran out quickly, in January 1888 the club sending a wire to Dundee to cancel a friendly against Strathmore the day before the match, and not even bothering to notify West Calder that it was not turning up. By March the club was said to be out of money. It was considered something of a moral success to "not get much of a thrashing" at Queen of the South Wanderers in April, the score being 4–2. Athenian finally avoided defeat with a 1–1 draw at West Calder later the same month, the XI boosted by M'Kinnon and Henderson of Hearts, and Lyle from Dumfries Wanderers. The momentum was kept up with a 1–1 draw at Motherwell but the club did not play eleven-a-side football again. The club's final outing was in an unsuccessful outing in a five-a-side tournament in May, at which time "it still had something to learn". There was however not enough time, even the Hearts hosting a benefit match against a select west of Scotland side under the name I Zingari (which included Ings, Ballantyne, and Knox of the Athenians) not enough to keep the club afloat - although at least the three Athenian players finally found themselves on a winning side, I Zingari winning 3–2. Its short existence was confirmed at an end when it was thrown off the Scottish FA's register for non-payment of subscription in August 1888. The club had entered the Shield before its disbanding, but as being "evidently a club of the past" its scheduled first round opponent Claremont Park gained a walkover. Colours. The club's official colours were primrose and pale blue "harlequin" shirts. Perhaps reflecting the club's financial difficulties towards the end of its first season, or the formation of the side from members of rugby clubs, Athenian wore "no less than five colours of dress" in a defeat at Leith Athletic in March 1888. Ground. The club played at Crawford Road Park, in Newington, a former cricket pitch. The first match the club had there was against Battlefield on 1 October, the visitors winning 1–0.

He was the youngest of three children born to John Beresford, 5th Baron Decies (1866–1944), aide-de-camp to the Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, and Helen Vivien Gould (1893–1931). From his parents marriage, he had two older sisters, Eileen Vivian de la Poer Horsley-Beresford and Catherine Moya Beresford.

George Turner-Cain and Jessie Mary Smith and the widow of David William Arthur Galsworthy, a Major with the Royal Fusiliers, City of London Regiment who died in 1944, with whom she had one child, Anna Galsworthy.

Stonehaven F.C. (1890)

Stonehaven Football Club was an association football club from Stonehaven in Kincardineshire, active in the 1890s. History. The club was founded in around 1890; its earliest recorded fixture is a 2–1 win over Caledonian (Aberdeen) in August 1890. The club played in the Aberdeenshire Cup for the first time in 1890–91, beating Aberdeen Thistle in its first tie by 8 goals to 1, described as "a surprise to the spectators, to the Thistle, and above all to the winning team". In the semi-final, Caledonian exacted a brutal revenge for the season-opening friendly, winning 11–0 on an ice-bound Aberdeen pitch; Stonehaven rather desperately put in a protest about the state of the ground. Despite this sobering defeat, the club joined the Scottish Football Association in 1891 and made its Scottish Cup debut in the first qualifying round in 1891–92, at home to Bon Accord, which was (in)famous for its world record defeat to Arbroath six years before. The Bons outclassed the home side, turning around at half-time 4–0 up and finishing with a 9–0 win. The blame was put in part on some of its players preferring to play in the closing cricket season fixtures, hence having a goal difference of -17 after two matches, and the club recovered enough to lose only by 4 goals to 2 to Aberdeen in the Aberdeenshire Cup in October. However the club's true status was emphasized with a 15–0 defeat at Montrose the following month. The following season the club was not ready for the first qualifying round in the Scottish Cup, and so scratched to Peterhead. The club's opening match of the season was a 13–2 defeat at home to Victoria United and in November it lost 13–0 to Orion in the first round of the Aberdeenshire Cup; while the Orion had been preparing by going for three mile runs twice per week, Stonehaven had not trained at all. Faced with such apathy from players and spectators alike, the club did not play senior football after 1892–93. After moving to Glenury in 1899, it only seems to have played one match, before dissolving. Colours. The club played in white shirts, with blue knickers in 1892–93 and white knickers in 1893–94. Ground. The club's ground was described as "Urie" or "the Urie Ground", perhaps referring to Urie Crescent, on the northern outskirts of the town. In 1899 the club moved to a new ground, Glenury, opened with a match against Melrose of Aberdeen. The ground became the home of the Stonehaven F.C. junior club.
