Caledonian F.C. (Aberdeen)
Caledonian F.C. was a, association football club from Aberdeen, Scotland, which played in the Scottish Cup, and reached the Aberdeenshire Cup final, in 1890–91. History The Caledonian football club was formed by the Caledonian Cricket Club, at a meeting in The Café in Aberdeen on 3 September 1886, Joseph Ross being chosen as first football captain. The club did not finish the cricket season until October, so its first association match did not take place until 23 October 1886, a 3–2 defeat to an Aberdeen scratch side. Caledonian was one of the founder members of the Aberdeenshire Football Association in August 1887. The organization set up the Aberdeenshire Cup to be played from that season, which allowed the Caledonian its first taste of competitive football, although it lost its first ties in its first three entries. The 1889–90 tie with Orion - the fourth round of the competition, thanks to a run of byes - originally ended a remarkable 8–6 to Orion, but a Caledonian protest on the basis that the game finished in the dark was upheld. The protest was to no avail as Orion won the replay 8–4. Caledonian joined the Scottish Football Association in August 1890. It
