1st Scots Guards F.C.
1st Scots Guards F.C. were an English football team that existed from at least
1895–96 and finished third of nine in Division Two. This made them eligible to play in a test match promotion decider against Clapton
, which they lost 1–4. The following season they finished 8th of 13.
They also participated briefly in the
1896–97 season before withdrawing, and were the last club to play Thames Ironworks at their Hermit Road
ground on 8 October 1896, when they lost 1–0.
They were still a functioning football team as late as 1909, when they won the Middlesex Senior Cup.
The Christmas truce football game of 1914 supposedly featured men from the 1st Scots Guards.
