Albacete Balompié
There are several curious cases, like the foundation of Locomotoras Albacete Balompié, the oldest of the clubs which would eventually merge with others into the later Albacete Balompié. Locomotoras Albacete Balompié takes off after the opening of a steam locomotive workshop in Albacete by Talgo and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. The latter one's main engineer, John Hulse, would have been the link who brought the Sheffield Rules to La Mancha.
