CARDIFF CITY FC
Cardiff City Football Club
were founded in 1899 as
Riverside A.F.C. before
changing
their
name
to Cardiff City in 1908.
The club compete in the
Championship, the second
tier of the English football
league, and play their home
games at the Cardiff City
Stadium, after moving from
Ninian Park in 2009. In
addition to being the home of
Cardiff City Football Club, the
Wales national football team
also play there. Following
expansion of the Ninian
Stand in 2014, the stadium
now officially holds over
33,000 supporters, making
it the 24th largest stadium in
the UK. Cardiff City’s all-time
leading goal-scorer is Len
Davies, the forward netting a
total of 181 league and cup
strikes in his time with the
Bluebirds between 1920 and
1931. Speaking of records,
Derek Tapscott’s staggering
six goals against Knighton
Town in 1961 are the most
scored in one match by a
City player. They came in
a Welsh Cup fifth round
tie against the non-league
outfit as City won with a 16-0
scoreline, which is also a
club record.
