Leith Athletic football team and winners of the 2nd division championship 1930.
The team were founded in 1887, becoming part of the Scottish Football League in 1891 and were wound up in 1954. A new Leith Athletic was formed in 1996, primarily as a club for boys football, with teams at various age groups between the ages of 5 and 21, whilst the club's adult side joined the Central Scottish Amateur Football League.
In 2005, they attained their first Scottish amateur international, when Paul Lee played in a 2-1 win against Leinster. In the same year, Danny Swanson, Douglas Thom and Shaun Woodburn were capped for the Scottish Youth Football Association under-19 team, playing against Mid Ulster and Wales.
Leith Athletic amalgamated with Edinburgh Athletic in 2008 and took its place in the East of Scotland Football League.[3] Leith were promoted to the East of Scotland Premier Division in 2011.
