Club History

Cowdenbeath Football Club, whilst not being the most successful on the planet, have been around since 1881. We've delved through the various archives of articles and cobweb covered newspapers to compile some of the history that has been, and is, Cowdenbeath FC. Whilst this is by no means a definitive history of the club, it is hoped that the following pages will give you a flavour of what went on in years gone by.

It is hoped that through time, these pages will be added to and enhanced to bring a greater insight into the club that became 'The Blue Brazil'.
