Avondale F.C.
Avondale Football Club was a 19th-century football club based in Strathaven, Lanarkshire, Scotland. History The club was formed in 1875, making it one of the first four clubs founded in Lanarkshire. It was however a short-lived and unsuccessful club, entering the Scottish Cup three times, but losing the only two ties it played. It prepared for its first Cup tie in 1877–78 at Hamilton by playing Hamilton's neighbours Hamilton Academical, losing 3–1 (and disputing a fourth goal), and the following week losing 3–0 at home to Jordanhill. In the circumstances it was not surprising that the club lost the tie at South Avenue 1–0. Its second tie, the following season, was disastrous, the club losing 7–0 at Airdrie, the latter club's biggest-ever Scottish Cup win, despite Airdrie having a smaller membership. Avondale was dissolved before it could play in the first round in 1879–80. The club was replaced in Strathaven by the Vale of Avon club, which played at a ...

The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular framed goal defended by the opposing side.

With an estimated 250 million players active in over 200 countries, it is considered the world's most popular sport.
