Claim: The Hatchard League, originally called the Sheffield & District Alliance, was suspended for the duration of the First World War, a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918, then disbanded altogether in 1923, but was re-introduced after the Second World War.
Evidence: Founded in 1892, it was originally called the Sheffield & District Alliance, only changing name to the Hatchard Cup League halfway through the 1893/94 season when a local politician called Frank Hatchard donated a trophy to the Sheffield & Hallamshire FA. The league was suspended for the duration of the First World War, then disbanded altogether in 1923, but was re-introduced after the Second World War. World War I (or the First World War, often abbreviated as WWI or WW1) was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918.
