Scotland - Championship Winning Teams 1900-1920


After years of researching the Scottish League (Division 1) from 1900 until 1920, I have made a list with appearances & goals of the champions from each season. As far as I know, this is the first time it has been done. I hope to add the other seasons to this list soon.

Anyone who is interested in further information on Scottish Football, can contact me at: Alan Brown, Flat 13-6, 75 Plean Street, Yoker, Glasgow, G14 0YW, Scotland.
