# Football League Second Division

La Football League Second Division fue entre 1892 y 1992 la segunda categoría del fútbol en Inglaterra. Tras la creación en 1992 de la Premier League la Second Division se convirtió en la segunda categoría del fútbol inglés hasta que finalmente fue disuelta en 2004 y reemplazada por la Football League One como 3.º nivel.

## Historia

Fue creada en 1892, cuando la Football League y su rival la Football Alliance se unieron, surgiendo una nueva división en la liga; la Football League se amplió con tres clubes de la Alliance y se renombró First Division, mientras que otros doce clubes dieron origen a la Second Division.
Los clubes fundacionales fueron:
* Darwen, descendido de la Football League;
* Los relegados de la Football Alliance: Small Heath, Burton Swifts, Grimsby Town, Crewe Alexandra, Ardwick, Bootle, Lincoln City y Walsall Town Swifts;
* Y tres afiliados: Sheffield United, Northwich Victoria y Burslem Port Vale.
