On This Day | 100 years since City's first Football League match 
Today marks the centenary of Cardiff City's first ever Football League match on 28th August 1920.
Friday 28th August 2020
Under the stewardship of the Club's longest serving manager, Fred Stewart, City had been elected into the Football League's Division Two alongside Leeds United, having spent a decade in the Southern Football League.
They were handed an opening-day away fixture at Stockport County, with City considered underdogs against an experienced side firmly fancied at their home ground.
However, Stewart's men ran out comfortable winners against his former side at Edgeley Park.
New signing Jimmy Gill scored a brace, with further goals from Jack Evans, Billy Grimshaw and future FA Cup-winning skipper, Fred Keenor, as City recorded a 5-2 win.
