1891 Championship Saint Andrew's Athletic Club

The former Association considered the title shared between Saint
Andrew’s and Caledonians, in contrast to general opinion which held Saint
Andrew's to be the champion because they won the final tie for the badges.

except in its web page. Therefore, both, Saint Andrew's and Caledonians
should be included in a full list of champions, but not on the list of champions
of AFA.
