1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
A brace from Len Davies, a penalty by Jimmy Nelson and one from Gill secured victory in front of a relatively small home crowd of 8,000. International call-ups weakened the squad for the visit of Notts County with five first team players being chosen to play in a Scotland vs Wales fixture. Nevertheless, Cardiff held their higher ranked opponents to a 1–1 draw with wing-half Joe Nicholson, who was deputising as a striker in the absence of Len Davies, scoring his side's goal. A 2–1 victory over Everton on 25 February was followed three days later by a 3–0 victory over Newcastle United in which Nicholson, still filling in as a forward, scored a brace.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
A two-week break due to FA Cup commitments meant Cardiff's next match was on 14 March against Nottingham Forest. A penalty from Nelson and a goal by Gill secured a third consecutive victory for the side. Cardiff suffered a 2–0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on 18 March and, with their FA Cup semifinal to be played soon after, several first team regulars were rested for a match against Bury the week before and replaced by fringe players, including Jack Lewis who made his only appearance of the season. The weakened side ultimately fell to a heavy 4–1 defeat.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, First Division
A further defeat to Manchester City extended the run of defeats to three before a 1–1 draw with Arsenal ended the run. The Times remarked that reaching the final of the FA Cup appeared to have distracted the side, stating "the edge was off the game early in the match" and noted the lack of celebration for Beadles' equalising goal. Results did improve for the side soon after and, despite injury concerns and international call-ups, they recorded consecutive home victories over Aston Villa, Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers. After a goalless draw with league leaders Huddersfield Town, Cardiff ended its season by beating Liverpool 2–1, with goals from Beadles and Gill, and drawing 0–0 with relegated Preston North End. The side finished the campaign in 11th place.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Cardiff entered the FA Cup in the first round and were drawn against Third Division North side Darlington. Despite being considered heavy favourites, Cardiff could only manage a goalless draw in a result that was regarded as one of the surprise results of the round, with the home side being jeered off the pitch by their own supporters. The result was partly blamed on the substandard condition of the pitch at Cardiff's Ninian Park ground, with the surface being noted for its "deadness that made accurate passing impossible".


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
The two teams met in a replay four days later where the pitch at Darlington's home ground, Feethams, also drew criticism with Cardiff players being quoted as saying the pitch was "worse than Ninian Park had ever been". The teams played out a second goalless draw necessitating a second replay, held at Anfield in Liverpool. Their lower ranked opponents created several scoring opportunities in the opening stages of the match but were unable to convert any, hitting the crossbar twice. Early in the second half, Cardiff took the lead when Beadles' shot rebounded off the crossbar allowing Len Davies to open the scoring. Willie Davies added a second later in the half as the match finished 2–0.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
In the second round, Cardiff were drawn against Fulham. The match was played in difficult conditions with The Times stating that the heavy rainfall meant that "good football was out of the question". The rapidly deteriorating pitch led the referee to halt the game for ten minutes before both sides agreed to continue play with Len Davies scoring the only goal of the match. Fellow First Division side Notts County were Cardiff's opponents in the third round, with County considered favourites for the tie.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
With Len Davies injured, his replacement Joe Nicholson opened the scoring before Jimmy Gill scored a second. Gill's goal received particular praise and was described as "the finest exhibition of artistry ever seen. With the ball at his feet, he evaded opponent after opponent, all after him like terriers and when he placed the ball in the net he gave Iremonger no chance."


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
In the fourth round, Cardiff were drawn against Second Division side Leicester City, the second meeting between the two sides in the FA Cup in three seasons; Cardiff had eliminated Leicester in the second round during the 1922–23 season. More than 50,000 spectators attended the fixture and Leicester enjoyed the better play of the first half but it was Cardiff who took the lead early in the second half when Beadles headed in from Willie Davies' cross.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Leicester quickly equalised when Arthur Chandler's shot was parried by Cardiff goalkeeper Tom Farquharson, allowing Johnny Duncan to lift the ball over the stricken keeper and into the net. In the final moments of the game, Leicester defender Adam Black cleared the ball out for an opposition corner after being pressured in possession. Willie Davies took the corner for Cardiff, sending the ball into the box where it looped over the head of the opposition goalkeeper and into the net.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
The Times match report described the goal, writing "As it came across it seemed to hang in the wind and then took a quick swerve, curling into the farther corner of the net." The referee immediately blew his whistle for both the goal and the end of the match. As the rule stopping a player to score directly from a corner kick had only been lifted the previous year, there was initially confusion in the ground as to whether the goal stood before some Cardiff fans invaded the pitch and engulfed Willie Davies in celebration.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
He later recalled his goal and the moments after, remarking "I took it in a hurry with my right foot. The swerve on the ball beat everybody and it went straight into the net! I had forgotten, in the excitement, that a goal could now be scored direct from the corner-flag, but the next minute I was being mobbed by thousands of spectators." Despite some celebrations, there were still large parts of the crowd who were unsure whether the goal stood and the overall outcome of the match. Cardiff captain Jimmy Blair and Willie Davies had to return to the pitch from the dressing room to make an announcement to the waiting crowd that the goal stood and Cardiff had subsequently progressed.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
The team's victory over Leicester saw them reach the semifinal of the FA Cup for the second time in five seasons where they were drawn against fellow First Division side Blackburn Rovers. With semifinal ties traditionally played at a neutral venue, the match was held at Meadow Lane, the home ground of Notts County, attracting a relatively low crowd of 20,000.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
Cardiff made a last minute change when Len Davies was replaced by Nicholson in the starting line-up and it was Nicholson who opened the scoring after just six minutes when he headed in after a goalmouth scramble from a corner. Gill and Beadles added two further goals after mistakes in the Blackburn defence to give their side an unassailable lead. Blackburn scored a late consolation goal through John McKay but were unable to breach the Cardiff defence again despite sustained pressure.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
By defeating Blackburn, Cardiff became the first Welsh club to reach an FA Cup final and the first non-English team to do so since Scottish side Queens Park in 1885. Despite recovering from injury, Len Davies was left out of the side with Nicholson keeping his place. Around 92,000 spectators attended the final against Sheffield United at Wembley Stadium with the match dubbed "The Jubilee Final" as the 50th final in the competition's history. The match was deemed to be low on quality with The Times reporting that more than two-thirds of the final were "never first-class."


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, FA Cup
The decisive moment of the match came on the half hour mark when Cardiff half-back Harry Wake gave possession away cheaply to opposition forward Fred Tunstall who scored the only goal of the game. Fred Keenor later described the build up to the winning goal, commenting "Wake was in possession of the ball and was facing his own goal when he turned to make a clearance. Tunstall, sizing up the position much quicker than any of our defence, raced in, robbed Wake on the turn, and after advancing about 10 yards shot into the corner of the net." Keenor though absolved his teammate of any blame in conceding the goal, adding "Any blame must be shouldered by the rest of the defence, of which I was one. A warning shout should have been given of Tunstall's first approach."


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Cup matches, Welsh Cup
Cardiff entered the Welsh Cup in the fifth round, being drawn against South Wales rivals Swansea Town. Manager Fred Stewart chose to rest several first team players for the match and they went on to suffer a 4–0 defeat.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details
During the season, manager Fred Stewart used 24 players in all competitions. Goalkeeper Tom Farquharson and defender Jimmy Nelson made the most appearances of any players, both featuring in 46 matches during the campaign. Five other players made 40 or more appearances. Elvet Collins, Jack Lewis, Billy Taylor and George Whitcombe all made a single appearance during the season. Lewis and Whitcombe's appearances were their final matches for Cardiff before being released.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Player details
Ten players scored at least one goal for the club during the course of the season. Len Davies finished the campaign as the club's top goalscorer for the fourth consecutive season, netting 22 times in all competitions despite featuring in only five of the club's final 19 matches due to injury problems. Harry Beadles was the second-highest scorer in his debut season for the club, scoring 14 times. Jimmy Gill was the only other player to reach double figures, with 11 goals.

1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
Despite losing the final, Fred Keenor remained upbeat on the strength of the team and stated after the match "Just because we lost in our very first cup final, I don't think there is any cause to get down in the mouth. I can say here and now that one day soon our followers can be sure that Cardiff City will bring that Cup to Wales." The team returned to Cardiff where, despite their defeat, they received a "rapturous welcome" and attended a dinner at City Hall with the mayor of the city. Keenor's prediction would be proven right two years later in the 1927 FA Cup Final when he captained the side to victory to become the only non-English team to win the FA Cup in the competition's history.


1924–25 Cardiff City F.C. season, Aftermath
The Cup final appearance raised hopes that the club could win a trophy the following season but a change to the offside rule during the off-season, reducing the number of players required between an attacker and the net, proved difficult to adapt to for Cardiff's defence and they finished in 16th place. The disappointing start to the season led Fred Stewart to revamp the playing squad, including selling long-serving forward Jimmy Gill to Blackpool for £3,200 in the opening months of the campaign.


1924–25 Celtic F.C. season
During the 1924–25 Scottish football season, Celtic competed in the Scottish First Division.

Wigan's victory against Flimby & Fothergill set records for the Wigan club that still stand in 2018, the score was the club's biggest victory and Jim Sullivan's kicking 22 goals and his points total of 44 set an individual record for a Wigan player. Sullivan's 22 goals (out of 22 attempts) also remains a record for any player in the Challenge Cup.

1924–25 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
The weather wasn't kind at the start of the season, but it was more accommodating than it had been the year before. Cornell was able to get some practice in before Christmas but the team had some unwelcome news at the beginning of their season. Two starters from '24 who were expected to be on the team were ineligible. Burnett and Kidd, key players in Cornell's offense, wouldn't be able to play this season and coach Bawlf would have to scramble to find their replacements. The lake froze well and the first game with Boston University was played on the 10th. The new lineup didn't have enough practice time together and visitors displayed much better cohesion in their 7–2 win.


1924–25 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
An increase in practice time followed and the team responded with a win over MAC the following week. The team's defense was far sturdier and held the Aggies without much of a chance to score for the first two periods. As had happened during the first game, Tilton remained at center for the entire contest while several players were rotated through both wing positions. The team played their next match a week later but were stymied by a stingy MIT squad, managing just 1 goal in a biting wind.


1924–25 Cornell Big Red men's ice hockey season, Season
The team wen dormant for several weeks during the exam period and their restart was delayed even further when the match against Clarkson was cancelled due to poor ice conditions. The next team was against a familiar opponent in Princeton and there was hope that the Big red could take advantage of a weakened Tiger squad. However, Cornell was hampered by a lack of practice and the team was soundly defeated. Moving Tilton back to defense provided a boon to the blue line but the team was unable to stop the Princeton offense from seemingly scoring at will. The final game of the year came against Hamilton and the team was held scoreless by their opponents.

However, in this instance of a capacity crowd and the closure of the gates fifteen minutes before kick-off, this practice might not have been as common as usual.

1924–25 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
During the mid-1920s, the Georgetown men's basketball program was struggling to survive. Faculty members opposed players missing classes for road games. Furthermore, on-campus Ryan Gymnasium, where the Hoyas had played their home games since the 1914-15 season, had no seating, accommodating fans on a standing-room only-basis on an indoor track above the court.


1924–25 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
This precluded the accommodation of significant crowds, providing the self-sustaining Basketball Association with little revenue with which to fund the team's travel expenses and limiting Georgetown to a very limited road schedule between the 1918-19 and 1926-27 seasons – often only to an annual trip to Annapolis, Maryland, to play at Navy and sometimes a single trip to New York or Pennsylvania to play schools there – averaging no more than three road games a year in order to keep travel expenses and missed classes to a minimum. The 1924-25 squad played only eight games, finishing 6-2, and played a single road game, against Navy at Annapolis.


1924–25 Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball team, Season recap
Freshman forward Bob Nork played only a single game as a reserve and went scoreless. However, he would emerge the following season as a team leader and top scorer, and would be the best Georgetown player of the mid-1920s.

The 1924–25 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season was the 27th season of play for the program.


1924–25 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
With new coach Edward Bigelow behind the bench, Harvard received some potentially good news in the offseason. Yale's home building, the New Haven Arena, had burned down, leaving the team without a local venue. This would give Harvard an advantage over the Elis as all games between the two teams would be played at the Boston Arena. Additionally, the team lost only five players to graduation and those spots would be filled by men from an undefeated freshman team.


1924–25 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard got a quick start on the season, defeating MIT 8–3 and Boston University 6–1, before taking on the Boston hockey Club. The 1–8 loss demonstrated that the team still had a ways to go, but the return of Hammond, Howard and Chase from their respective absences would help the team's fortunes.


1924–25 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
When Harvard returned from their winter break they found Toronto waiting for them for the fourth consecutive year. This time, however, Harvard was able to put together a winning effort for the first time since 1913. After narrowly losing to another amateur club, Harvard got a leg up on Yale with a 3–2 overtime win, then followed that with a defeat of Princeton the following week. After keeping its intercollegiate record unblemished, Harvard had two chances to defeat its conference rivals and would need them when Yale evened the series with their own 3–2 win.


1924–25 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
After keeping their intercollegiate championship hopes alive with a close victory over Dartmouth, Harvard faced Yale in a rubber match that was likely to decide the Triangular League and Intercollegiate championships. The two titans fought a defensive battle with Yale utilizing a similar form of line change as the Crimson. The gambit allowed the Bulldogs' top players to keep up with Harvard long into the night and, after regulation ended without a goal, overtime was required. Neither goaltender surrendered a marker in the two extra periods so a third, sudden-death period was needed. It took six minutes for Yale's Harrison Turnbull to score the only goal of the game and end Harvard's pursuit of a championship.


1924–25 Harvard Crimson men's ice hockey season, Season
Harvard won their final game of the season, narrowly defeating Princeton, to finish in second place in the Triangular League.

They only conceded 3 goals in their FA Cup game against Bolton Wanderers. They won their 2nd title by 2 points from West Bromwich Albion. However, Town were left bewildered when Herbert Chapman left for Arsenal at the end of the season.

1924–25 Marquette Blue and Gold men's ice hockey season, Season
From the start, Marquette's third season was hampered by circumstances beyond their control. The team's rink, that they had used for their first two seasons, had been converted into a garage and the team was forced to instead use an outdoor rink built over a field north of the university gym. To make matters worse, the winter was a bit warmer than usual and led to less ice available than previous years. The team was also contending with their third coach in three seasons, however, Harold "Ed" Garry had been the team's primary goaltender over the previous two seasons and he was familiar with the players and their situations.


1924–25 Marquette Blue and Gold men's ice hockey season, Season
Many games were scheduled for the season, mixing old and new opponents, but a lack of ice limited the team to just three games. The Blue and Gold won their first game of the season against a nearby YMCA squad with captain Nic Carle scoring the lone goal. When the team travelled to Minnesota to take on the Gophers, the team was overcome by a combination of skill and manpower; Minnesota was the defending western champion and used three full lineups while the Blue and Gold had just one alternate, Harold Bruce. Minnesota scored early in the games and then used fresh legs to outskate Marquette, leading to a pair of shutouts. The Blue and gold would have to hope for better conditions the next year.

This was the first season for the Montreal Maroons and Boston Bruins – the first American NHL team. The Montreal Forum, was built to house the Maroons. However, it was the Canadiens who played in it first.

The Canadiens beat the St. Patricks 7–1, as Billy Boucher scored a hat trick before 8000 fans.


1924–25 Montreal Canadiens season, Regular season

Last-ditch efforts to reach a compromise failed and the Tigers were suspended.


1924–25 Montreal Canadiens season, Playoffs, NHL Championship
It was suggested that the Ottawa Senators be included in the playoffs, but Charlie Querrie and Leo Dandurand cited a fourth-place finish didn't qualify Ottawa a playoff berth and it was decided that Montreal and Toronto had played for the league title. NHL president Frank Calder announced that the Canadiens played home games at the Forum, but Leo Dandurand said that they would be played at Mount Royal Arena unless it were necessary to move to the Forum, citing home games were home games, and the Canadiens played better in front of their own fans. Calder backed down from his stand. Montreal won the series against Toronto and was awarded the Prince of Wales Trophy and earned the right to play for the Stanley Cup.


1924–25 Montreal Canadiens season, Playoffs, Finals

Games one, three and four of the series were played at the Patrick Arena in Oak Bay, a suburb municipality of Victoria, British Columbia; game two was played at the larger Denman Arena in Vancouver. This marks the first, and last, time since the inception of the NHL (1917) that a non-NHL team won the Stanley Cup. As a foot-note, the Seattle Metropolitans could have claimed the Stanley Cup during the flu cancelled season of 1919, but chose not to as a display of good-sportsmanship.

1924–25 NHL season
The NHL regular-season champion Hamilton Tigers did not participate in the playoffs, as their players demanded to their owner, Percy Thompson, that they would not participate in the NHL championship series unless they received an additional $200 each for the extra six games played that year. Under their contracts, the Tigers players were to receive the same amount of money no matter how many games they played from December 1, 1924, to March 31, 1925 (even though the season started on November 29, 1924).


1924–25 NHL season
NHL President Frank Calder was not amused, stating that the players would be fined or suspended if they did not play in the final series, but the players stated that they would rather retire than advantage be taken of them. The day of the final game of the Semi-Final, Tiger Shorty Green met with Calder to try to reach an agreement, but to no avail. The players were all suspended and fined $200 each, therefore eliminating themselves from the playoffs.


1924–25 NHL season
Because of the suspension, the semi-final playoff series between Montreal and Toronto became the NHL championship series. The Montreal Canadiens won the series and faced off against the Victoria Cougars of the Western Canada Hockey League (WCHL) for the Stanley Cup. Victoria won the series, the last non-NHL team to win the Cup.

She presented it to Frank Nighbor of the Ottawa Senators.


1924–25 NHL season, Regular season

1924–25 NHL season, Regular season
A new arena, the Montreal Forum, was built to house the Maroons. However, the Montreal Canadiens played in it first.

The Canadiens beat the St. Patricks 7–1, before 9,000 fans. A NHL attendance record of 11,000 was set on December 27, when the Maroons hosted the Canadiens.


1924–25 NHL season, Regular season

Broadbent scored five goals in a game on January 7 as Montreal defeated the Tigers 6–2 in the Abso-Pure rink in Hamilton.

On December 17, goaltenders Jake Forbes of Hamilton and Alex Connell of Ottawa engaged in the first ever scoreless tie in a regular season game in NHL history.


1924–25 NHL season, Regular season
Just before the end of the season, the Bruins, which finished in last place, had a modest winning streak. First, they beat the Montreal Canadiens 3–2 March 3. Normand Shay scored the winning goal on a two on one break at 16:39 of the third period as Jimmy Herbert shot and then Shay pounced on the rebound and put it by Georges Vezina. The game was rough and referee Jerry Laflamme meted out quite a few penalties, including four minors to Lionel Hitchman of Boston. Howie Morenz starred in a losing cause with two goals. The Bruins then defeated the league-leading Hamilton Tigers 2–0 in their next game as Doc Stewart played well in goal.

1924–25 NHL season, Playoffs
With an increase in the number of NHL teams, the NHL changed its playoff format by having the second and third place teams play a two-game total goals series to see who played the number one seed for the NHL championship. The NHL champion would go on to play the winner of the Western Canada Hockey League for the Stanley Cup. As it happened, the Tigers, the first-place team went on strike, and the winner of the series between the second and third place teams, Montreal, became the NHL champion and played for the Cup. This marked the last time until 2020 that the playoffs were played entirely in Canada.


1924–25 NHL season, Playoffs, NHL Championship
The third seed Montreal Canadiens played against the second seed Toronto St. Patricks in a total goals series. The winner of that series was to go on and play the first seed team, the Hamilton Tigers. But it was not to happen that way. During the total goals series, the Hamilton players demanded $200 each for the extra six games played during the regular season and the league threatened to suspend the players and the team. Last-ditch efforts to reach a compromise failed and the Tigers were suspended.


1924–25 NHL season, Playoffs, NHL Championship
It was suggested that the Ottawa Senators be included in the playoffs, but Charlie Querrie and Leo Dandurand cited a fourth-place finish didn't qualify Ottawa a playoff berth and it was decided that Montreal and Toronto played for the league title. NHL president Frank Calder announced that the Canadiens played home games at the Forum, but Leo Dandurand said that they would be played at Mount Royal Arena unless it were necessary to move to the Forum, citing home games were home games, and the Canadiens played better in front of their own fans. Calder backed down from his stand. Montreal won the series against Toronto and earned the right to play for the Stanley Cup.


1924–25 NHL season, Playoffs, Stanley Cup Finals
In the Western Canada Hockey League, the third place Victoria Cougars won its league championship faced the Montreal Canadiens for the Stanley Cup. The series was played in Patrick Arena in Victoria, except for game two, which was played at Denman Arena in Vancouver to gather greater fan support and more income. Victoria beat Montreal three games to one, out-scoring the Canadiens 16 to 8. Victoria was the first (and only to date) non-NHL team to win the Stanley Cup since the NHL's founding.

1924–25 National Challenge Cup
The 1924–25 National Challenge Cup was the annual open cup held by the United States Football Association now known as the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup.


1924–25 National Challenge Cup, History
Teams from the American Soccer League and St. Louis Soccer League had won the previous several Challenge Cups, but dissatisfaction with the financial arrangements led the two leagues to boycott this year’s cup. While the United States Football Association gained its operating income from annual dues by member teams, most of its income came from its annual challenge cup. On the other hand, the owners of the top professional teams saw the challenge cup as a money losing competition as they were forced to play obscure amateur teams which tended to have smaller crowds and therefore gate receipts.


1924–25 National Challenge Cup, History
After USFA took its cut, the amount distributed to the teams frequently did not cover the travel expenses. Therefore, the SLSL proposed, and the ASL agreed to, the creation of an American Professional Soccer Championship. That game series took place in April 1925 at University Field in St. Louis, Missouri. Over the three games, the Boston Soccer Club defeated the Ben Millers in front of an average crowd of over 10,000 spectators per game.


1924–25 National Challenge Cup, History
In contrast, the National Challenge Cup final between the Shawsheen Indians and Chicago Canadian Club, played at the usually high drawing Mark's Stadium, saw only 2,500 spectators, down from the 18,000 who watched the 1924 final. At a May 1925 meeting, USFA agreed to reduce their percentage of the gate receipts from 33.3% to 15%. This diffused the ASL and SLSL hostility to the challenge cup leading to their re-entering the competition for 1926.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season
The 1924–25 season was the 44th in the history of Nelson Football Club, and their fourth as a professional team in the Football League. The campaign saw the team return to the Third Division North, having finished in the relegation zone of the Second Division in 1923–24. Despite losing only one match all season at Seedhill, Nelson's home ground, the team struggled in away matches. Nelson ended the campaign on 53 points, with a record of 23 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, and finished as runners-up to Darlington in the league table.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season
Nelson reached the Sixth Qualifying Round of the FA Cup, beating non-League Winsford United before being knocked out of the competition by Coventry City. The team progressed past the first round of the Lancashire Senior Cup with a win against Wigan Borough, but were defeated in the following round by Blackburn Rovers.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season
A total of 23 different players were used by Nelson during their 44 competitive matches, less than half of whom had played for the club in previous campaigns. Goalkeeper Harry Abbott and half-back Ernie Braidwood were the two ever-presents for Nelson during 1924–25. Centre forward Joe Eddleston scored 26 goals in 43 games to become the team's top goalscorer for the fourth consecutive season. Two Nelson records were set during the campaign, although one was later broken; the seven-goal winning margin against Crewe Alexandra was never bettered in Football League matches, while the attendance of 13,500 for the visit of Darlington in April 1925 was the largest ever seen at Seedhill at that time.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Background
The 1924–25 season marked Nelson's return to the Football League Third Division North following their relegation from the Second Division at the end of the previous campaign. It was the club's fourth season in the Football League, having previously competed in the Central League. Former Scotland international defender David Wilson retired from his player-manager role in the summer of 1924 in order to take up the managerial post full-time. Thomas Jacques, who had played for Nelson during their inaugural season in the Football League, was hired as the assistant coach and groundsman. Unlike the previous summer, when Nelson had embarked on a pre-season tour of Spain, the team did not play any friendly matches during the build-up to the campaign. The club strip remained unchanged from the previous season; a blue jersey, white shorts and black socks with white and blue trim.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Background
While there were several changed to the playing staff, the core of the team that had played in the Second Division remained intact. Centre forward Joe Eddleston, Nelson's top goalscorer in each of the previous three seasons, was retained along with captain Clem Rigg, Welsh half-back Jack Newnes and goalkeeper Harry Abbott. The two most senior squad members, David Wilson and goalkeeper Joseph Birds, retired from professional football aged 40 and 36 respectively. Inside forward Dick Crawshaw, who had been the team's second-highest scorer in 1923–24 with five goals, moved to Stalybridge Celtic.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Background
Scottish forward Mike McCulloch ended his two-year association with the club by joining Chesterfield on a free transfer, while half-back Leigh Collins signed for New Brighton. Other players, including William Lammus and Ernest Gillibrand, left Nelson having failed to establish themselves in the first-team during their time with the club. Manager Wilson spent a total of £750 (£35,000 as of 2011) on new players in the summer of 1924. Billy Bottrill and Bill Ellerington arrived from Middlesbrough, while Barrow full-back James Phizacklea was signed to bolster the defensive line. Several young players were acquired from local non-League football during the close season, including Ambrose Harris from Briercliffe and Billy Harper, formerly of Feniscowles. The Nelson squad was considered by the local newspaper to be stronger than the one which had won the Third Division North two seasons earlier.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson began their league campaign on 30 August 1924 with an away match at Southport, who had ended the previous season in seventh position. New signings Billy Bottrill, Bill Ellerington and Joseph O'Beirne went straight into the starting line-up but they could not prevent Southport winning by a single goal from Jack Barber,  giving them their first ever League win against Nelson. A week later, Nelson played their first home game of the season, in which James Phizacklea made his debut for the club.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
A crowd of around 6,000 saw Ashington beaten 4–0 thanks to goals from Bottrill, Joe Eddleston, Jack Newnes and Sid Hoad. Three days later, Eddleston scored twice as Doncaster Rovers were defeated by three goals to nil in the first midweek match of the campaign. However, Nelson could not continue their winning streak as they lost 0–2 against Accrington Stanley at Peel Park in the following fixture. On 16 September, Nelson achieved their biggest victory in the Football League at that time with a 7–1 win over Durham City at Seedhill.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
The game saw Eddleston score his first hat-trick since the 3–0 victory away at Rochdale in January 1923, and O'Beirne and Eddie Cameron score their first goals of the season. Four days later, Nelson suffered their third consecutive defeat away from home, losing 0–3 to Barrow at Holker Street. The team continued their good home form the following week with a narrow win against Lincoln City. Nelson named the same team for the seventh game in succession for the trip to Tranmere Rovers on 4 October, but the side were beaten for the fourth straight away match thanks to goals from Dixie Dean and Jimmy Moreton.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
A week later Eddleston took his tally of goals to eight, scoring twice as Nelson overcame Walsall 2–1 at Seedhill. He scored again in the next match as the team gained their first point of the season away from home, drawing 1–1 at Wigan Borough, who had been Nelson's first ever opponents in the Football League over three years previously. Half-back Ernie Braidwood scored his first goal of the campaign in the 2–1 win against Halifax Town. Eddie Cameron also scored for the home side, and Walter Moore made his senior debut in the match.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
November began badly for Nelson as they suffered their heaviest defeat of the season, a 0–5 loss away at New Brighton. Allan Mathieson and Joe Wilcox scored two goals each as New Brighton won the first ever competitive meeting between the two sides. Nelson moved up to sixth place in the league following the next match, a 1–0 win at home to Grimsby Town. However, the team continued their poor form away from Seedhill, losing 1–3 to table-topping Darlington on 15 November. Seven days later, Bottrill scored the only goal of the match as Nelson beat Rochdale to record their eighth consecutive home win.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
In the first game of December, Nelson failed to win at Seedhill for the first time in the season. Despite a tenth goal of the campaign from Eddleston and a penalty kick scored by captain Clem Rigg, the team could only draw with Bradford Park Avenue. After a two-week break from League football because of the FA Cup, Nelson returned to action with a 4–1 home win over Rotherham County in the only match ever played between the two sides at Seedhill.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
On Christmas Day, half-back Ambrose Harris made his first appearance for Nelson as the side beat Chesterfield 1–0 thanks to Bill Ellerington's first goal for the club. The same team was defeated by the same scoreline the following day in the reverse fixture at Saltergate. Inside forward Arthur Wolstenholme scored the only goal of the match as Nelson recorded their first away victory of the season in the final fixture of 1924.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson started the new year with a 1–1 draw at Ashington; Ellerington scored for the second time in three matches but it was cancelled out by a goal from Bill Watson. A week later, half-back Ernie Braidwood netted his first of the season as the team secured another 1–1 draw away at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
In the first home match of the new year, on 17 January 1925, Nelson atoned for their defeat to Accrington Stanley earlier in the season with a 4–1 win thanks to two goals from Eddleston, one from Chadwick, and a first goal in almost three months for Cameron. Clem Rigg scored two penalties the following week as the side beat Barrow to move above Bradford Park Avenue into fifth position in the Third Division North. On 7 February Nelson won their third consecutive home fixture, beating Tranmere Rovers by four goals to one.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Left-half Herbert Butterworth made his senior debut for the club against Tranmere, despite signing from Wolverhampton Wanderers almost two years previously, while Chadwick scored twice in one game for the first time. A trip to Walsall seven days later brought a first away victory of 1925 for the team as goals from Chadwick and Hoad gave Nelson a 2–1 win, which elevated them to third place in the league. A narrow win against Wigan Borough at Seedhill on 21 February lifted Nelson further up the table into second position, behind only Darlington. The team ended a successful February with a fourth victory of the month, beating Halifax Town 4–2 before a crowd of 10,000 spectators at The Shay.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
Nelson carried their good form into March; Bottrill scored for the first time in over two months to help the team defeat New Brighton by five clear goals. This seventh straight win closed the gap between Nelson and Darlington to five points, with the league leaders having played three more matches. In an attempt to push for the title the Nelson directors invested in two new players in March; inside forward John Stevenson arrived from Second Division side Bury for a fee of £500, while Fred Laycock joined Nelson from Barrow.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
However, the team suffered their first loss of 1925 in of the following match away at Grimsby Town as goals from Joe Cooper and Frank McKenna gave the home side a 2–0 win. This was followed by another defeat four days later; a goal on debut for Stevenson could not prevent Lincoln City winning by two goals to one. On 21 March Nelson returned to winning ways with a 2–0 defeat of Hartlepools United at Seedhill, and later the same week Eddleston scored his second hat-trick of the campaign as struggling Hartlepools were beaten 4–2 in the reverse fixture. A first goal in Nelson colours for Laycock secured a third successive win away at Rochdale on 28 March.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
A then-record crowd of 13,500 descended on Seedhill for the visit of Darlington on 4 April, but the top two teams in the division could not be separated as the game finished in a 1–1 draw. Nelson remained second in the table going into the Easter period, during which teams played four matches in the space of five days. The first of these games ended in a 2–1 defeat away at Crewe Alexandra, despite Newnes' first goal since September. John Stevenson then scored his second Nelson goal the following day in a 1–1 draw with Bradford Park Avenue.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
On 13 April, the team avenged their loss to Crewe with a comprehensive 7–0 victory at Seedhill, their biggest winning margin in the Football League. Joe Eddleston opened the scoring and went on to net his third hat-trick of the season, taking his tally of goals to 25, a total that would never be beaten during Nelson's time in the League. The other goals were added by Laycock, who scored twice, Chadwick and Cameron, who netted his last goal for Nelson.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Football League Third Division North
However, the team then took just three out of an available ten points at the end of the season, ending their hopes of returning to the Second Division. Following a 1–1 draw at Doncaster Rovers, Nelson suffered their first and only home defeat of the season, losing 4–2 to Wrexham. On 21 September the team achieved their final win of the campaign, beating Southport 2–1 thanks to two goals from Laycock. The 1924–25 season ended with consecutive away losses at Durham City and bottom-of-the-league Rotherham County, leaving Nelson with second in the Third Division North on 53 points, ahead of third-placed New Brighton on goal average.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Other first-team matches
Nelson's first match outside the league in the 1924–25 season came in the Lancashire Senior Cup. The team entered the competition in the First round, and were drawn against Wigan Borough at Seedhill. Nelson progressed to the next stage of the cup with a comprehensive 4–0 win and were handed another home tie in the second round, against First Division side Blackburn Rovers. A 2–1 win for the away team ended Nelson's participation in the cup for the season.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Other first-team matches
Nelson entered the FA Cup, the foremost cup competition in England, in the Fifth Qualifying Round along with all the other teams in the Third Division North. For their first match, played on 29 November 1924, the team was drawn to play Winsford United of the Cheshire County League at Seedhill. Nelson won the first ever meeting between the two clubs 4–1 with goals from Braidwood, Eddleston, O'Beirne and Wolstenholme, to progress to the Sixth Qualifying Round for the first time in three years.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Other first-team matches
In the next round Nelson were again given a home tie, against Second Division outfit Coventry City, who would be relegated to the Third Division North at the end of the 1924–25 campaign. Nelson made only one change from the side that had defeated Winsford, with Eddie Cameron replacing Arthur Wolstenholme. In front of a crowd of 7,000 spectators, one of the highest attendances at Seedhill of the season, Coventry won 1–0 to progress to the first round proper of the competition.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Player details
Nelson used a total of 23 players during the 1924–25 season and there were 13 different goalscorers. There were also four squad members who did not make a first-team appearance in the campaign. The team played in a 2–3–5 formation (the standard formation at the time) throughout the campaign, with two full-backs, three half-backs, two outside forwards, two inside forwards and a centre forward. Two players, goalkeeper Harry Abbott and half-back Ernie Braidwood, appeared in all 44 Third Division and FA Cup matches.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Player details
Joe Eddleston missed just one game, the defeat against Durham City on 29 April, while Welsh international Jack Newnes made 42 appearances in the season. Two players played only once during the season; Fred Smith deputised for Edgar Chadwick at inside-left in the win against Southport on 21 April, and Allan Bottrill appeared in the final match of the season in place of Eddleston. Neither ever played another senior match for the club.


1924–25 Nelson F.C. season, Player details
The team scored a total of 88 goals in all competitions. The highest scorer was Eddleston, with 26 goals, followed by Chadwick, who scored 10 goals in 20 outings.

1924–25 Newport County A.F.C. season
The 1924–25 season was Newport County's fifth season in the Football League, fourth consecutive season in the Third Division South and fifth season overall in the third tier. The club eventually finished sixth, but in the second half of the season County were in contention for the one available promotion place to the Second Division. The matches with local rivals Swansea Town on 10 and 13 April were crucial to either side's chances of promotion. Going into the home game on 10 April, Newport were in fifth place and Swansea were top. A season's best attendance saw County knock Town from top spot with a 3–0 win, but they regained it with a win in the return fixture three days later. Swansea went on to win the title by one point.

Both attempted to buy out the other. In December, Ahearn accepted Gorman's $50,000 offer for the club. In January, Gorman's offer was off, after control over all shares was not arranged. However, this may have been used as an escape clause out of the agreement, as Gorman was later to accept a position with the New York Americans. Instead, Ahearn bought out Gorman for $35,000 and Ahearn's share of the Connaught Park Racetrack in Aylmer, Quebec.
