Leicester & District Football League (1895/96 to 1928/29)
The Leicester & District Football League was founded in 1895, and quickly became the second most important league in the county after the Leicestershire Senior League.
What do we know about this league ?
I know the seasons that the league was active plus all the teams that participated. I’m missing quite a lot of the final tables and in the mid 1920s I am missing some of the division champions.
