Title: Re: A footballer's Silver medalian Post by: Jonola (Jon) on May 18, 2009, 08:09:00 PM Became Cardiff City in 1907. Cardiff was still officialy a town until 1905. They were born out of Riverside Cricket Club and changed the name. Definitely weren't about from 1891 to 1893 in any guise though.
