... that during their 1925–26 season,
Cardiff City suffered the heaviest league defeat in the club's history, losing 11–2 to
Sheffield United? Source:
Cardiff City website ("the club suffered their worst-ever league defeat when they lost 11–2 to, of all teams, Sheffield United" (Lloyd's book))
@
Kosack: New enough and long enough. Sources are in the right place on the article and check out (AGF on the supporting book source though its content is backed by the club's records page as well). No issues in Earwig. You need a QPQ. Please ping me when QPQ is supplied.
