South Liverpool F.C. was a football club from Liverpool, England. The club's colours were white shirts, black shorts and red socks. The club relocated and became New Brighton A.F.C. in 1921. In 1935 a phoenix club was established South Liverpool F.C. (1935). History Formation and playing years It has long been accepted that the first South Liverpool F.C. was founded in the late-1890s when a club called African Royal (or, in some sources, Africa Royal) changed its name, under the influence of W.J. Sawyer, and relocated to Dingle, just south of the city centre. The team played in The Combination and the Lancashire League before joining the Second Division of the Lancashire Combination in 1911. The club was promoted to the First Division in 1913, but the competition was suspended during the First World War.
