Dumbreck Football Club was a 19th-century association football club based in Glasgow.

History

[edit]
Clydesdale 1–0 Dumbreck, one of the first matches played after the formation of the Scottish FA, 22 March 1873

The club was formed in 1872[3] out of the Dumbreck Cricket Club[4] and was one of the eight founder members of the Scottish Football Association.[5] Its earliest recorded matches were against the Clydesdale club in early 1873.[6]

Dumbreck was the opposition for Queen's Park on 25 October 1873 for the first match played at the first Hampden Park.[7] It was also the first match in which Queen's Park wore its iconic black and white hooped jerseys.[8]

Dumbreck entered Scottish Cup tournaments between 1873–74 and 1877–78, [9] the club's best run coming in 1875–76, when it reached the quarter-finals (last 7). The club was unlucky to draw the dominant Queen's Park at that stage and lost 2–0; the club protested after the match about one of the Queen's Park goals. One noteworthy factor was that the Dumbreck goalkeeper M'Geoch was a pioneer in drop-kicking the ball, rather than kicking it from dead, which was considered at the time to generate greater distance.[10]

Although the club was active in the Scottish FA committees until 1877, and (with 75 members in 1876) was on a par with Rangers, the club disappeared before the 1877–78 season. It withdrew from the Scottish Cup rather than face the new Shawfield club[11][12] having resolved not to play any more fixtures.[13]

Colours

[edit]

Dumbreck played in blue shirts with white shorts, with scarlet stockings in 1873 and black and white stockings in 1874.[14][15]

Notable players
