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 https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Walter_Raleigh
