context_page_description: Cardiff City Football Club is a Welsh professional association football team based in Cardiff. The club was founded in 1899 and initially played in local amateur leagues before joining the English football league system. After spending a decade in the Southern Football League, Cardiff joined the Football League in 1920. In April 1912, Jack Evans became the first Cardiff player to be capped in an international match when he played for Wales against Ireland. George Latham was the only other Cardiff player to play in an international match before the First World War. Fred Keenor was the first player to win a cap after the war, in March 1920, while Jimmy Blair became the first Cardiff player to represent a country other than Wales when he played for Scotland against Ireland later the same year. Bert Smith became the first Irish international at the club the following year. Keenor attained 31 caps during his time with Cardiff, becoming the club's highest capped player prior to the Second World War. Goalkeeper Tom Farquharson remains the only Cardiff player to have appeared for two international sides, having represented both Ireland and the Irish Free State in the 1920s.
