Cradley Heath F.C.

Cradley Heath F.C. was an English association football club based in Cradley Heath in the Black Country. The club competed in the Birmingham & District League, one of the country's strongest semi-professional leagues, between 1922 and 1961 and won the league championship in the 1925–26, 1930–31 and 1931–32 seasons. The club also competed in the FA Cup on a regular basis.[1]

Future England international Billy Wright was a player and groundsman for the team during March-April 1938 prior to joining Wolverhampton Wanderers.[2]

A new Cradley Heath F.C. competed briefly in the Midland Football Combination in the 1990s but it had no connection to the original Cradley Heath club.
