United League (football)
The United League was an association football league that existed from 1896 to 1902 in England.[1]
The league was created in 1896 to provide clubs which played in other leagues in southern or central England with an additional midweek game. Over several years, various clubs joined or left the league but by 1899, departures left the league struggling, culminating in the cessation of the league in 1902.[1]
