Cardiff City F.C.'s 1920–21 season was the 20th season of competitive
football for the club and their first in the Football League, having
been voted into the Second Division. They finished the season tied on
points with Birmingham, who were champions on goal average; both teams
were promoted to the First Division. Cardiff reached the semi-final of
the FA Cup, defeating First Division sides Sunderland and Chelsea. They
were knocked out by Second Division Wolverhampton Wanderers. In the
Welsh Cup, Cardiff, the holders, were beaten by Pontypridd after a
fixture clash forced them to field a reserve side. Cardiff fielded 29
players in 1920–21, Billy Hardy playing in the most games. New signing
Jimmy Gill was the club's top goalscorer with 20 goals in all
competitions. The club's average home attendance at Ninian Park was more
than 28,000; two home league matches recorded attendances of 42,000, and
the FA Cup tie against Chelsea attracted 50,000.

Wikiquote quote of the day:
Even such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our
all we have, And pays us but with age and dust; Who in the dark and
silent grave, When we have wandered all our ways, Shuts up the story
of our days. But from this earth, this grave, this dust, My God shall
raise me up, I trust!
--Walter Raleigh
