Linfield Football club was founded in March 1886 by workers of the Linfield Spinning Mill and was originally known as the Linfield Athletic Club. The club was given permission to play on ground at the back of the mill known as 'The Meadow'. Success and the need to accommodate more spectators brought about a move to Ulsterville Avenue in 1889. They were to remain for only four years as this ground was taken over for housing development. For a time, Linfield played all their home games at opponents' grounds. Now based in south Belfast, Linfield are the most popular and successful club in Northern Ireland. Their fan base is strongly Protestant. Reached the European Cup quarterfinal in 1967.  Previous stadiums: The Meadow (1886-89), Ulsterville Avenue (1889-93), Myrtlefield (-1905).
