Aberdare Athletic Football Club were a Welsh football club founded in 1893 and based in Aberdare. They joined the Football League in 1921 but were replaced by Torquay United after failing to be re-elected in 1927. ==History== Founded in 1893, Aberdare were Welsh Cup runners-up, in 1903–04 1904–05 and 1922/23. In 1920–21 they joined the Welsh Section of the Southern League and duly finished runners-up in their first season. That gained them entry to the Football League Third Division South in time for 1921–22.〔(Football Club History Database – Aberdare Athletic )〕 Aberdare spent six seasons in the League, with their best season being 1921–22, when they finished 8th. That same year, 1926, Aberdare merged with nearby Aberaman Athletic; the first team continued to compete in the Football League under the name Aberdare Athletic, while the reserve team played in the Welsh League under the name ''Aberdare & Aberaman Athletic''. However, in the next season, 1926–27 Aberdare Athletic finished bottom of the Third Division South and failed to gain re-election to the league; Torquay United took their place.〔(The Pyramid.info: Promotion to/Relegation from the Football League by year )〕 The merged club fully renamed themselves as Aberdare & Aberaman Athletic, and rejoined the Southern League. However, the merged club only survived for another year, and in 1928 the Aberaman faction split away from the club to re-form Aberaman Athletic, while the Aberdare half folded. After World War II, in 1945 a reformed Aberdare & Aberaman Athletic was formed, but this side also split into two, in 1947; Aberdare Town FC club continue to this day, and play in the Welsh Football League. The club had several different team colours during their existence.〔(Aberdare Athletic – Historical Football Kits )〕 Their membership of the Football League coincided with that of a team from another Welsh town Merthyr Town. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aberdare Athletic F.C.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
