Llanerchrugog F.C.
Llanerchrugog F.C. was a football club based in Rhosllanerchrugog, Wales.

Association Football
Association football, more commonly known as football or soccer, is a team sport played between two teams of 11 players who primarily use their feet to propel the ball around a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of the game is to score more goals than the opposition by moving the ball beyond the goal line into a rectangular framed goal defended by the opposing side.
