Spartans F.C.

The Spartans Football Club was established by two former Edinburgh University players, Elliot Wardlaw and Jimmy Beaumont, in the summer of 1951 and immediately joined the East of Scotland League. The club was originally formed for former university and college footballers but the constitution now allows “other interested parties” to join. In the 1971–72 season, Spartans won the East of Scotland League championship for the first time in its history. In 1976 the club became full members of the Scottish Football Association. At this time the club also moved into its new City Park home as tenants of Edinburgh City Council. City Park was situated on Ferry Road approximately 500 yards from Crewe Toll in the north of Edinburgh. The move to City Park also coincided with Spartans participating in the Scottish Qualifying Cup which it won for the first time in 1978.
