History
The club was officially founded in 1872 as a football playing division of the Granville Cricket Club.[2] However the club's first match had already taken place, with Queen's Park beating a Granville side 1-0 in November 1871; six Queen's Park men made up the numbers for Granville.[3]
By 1873 the club had 80 members, which made it nearly as big as Queen's Park,[4] and in April 1872 the club was the first Scottish side to avoid defeat to Queen's Park, with a 0-0 draw.[5] Along with Queen's Park, Granville was one of the founder members of the Scottish Football Association.
The club entered the first Scottish Cup in 1873–74 season. The club had an unlucky draw, away to the eventual finalists Clydesdale, and lost 6-0. The team did not play in subsequent tournaments.[6]
Granville dissolved in 1878.
Notable players
Granville F.C. is also noted for fielding a player in the first ever official international football match in 1872, namely William Ker, in a 0–0 draw at Hamilton Crescent.[7]
Colours
The club's colours were red, black, and white striped jerseys and stockings. [8]
