1904–05 Aberdeen F.C. season
Aberdeen F.C. competed in the Scottish Second Division and Scottish Cup in season 1904–05.
Overview
Season 1904–05 was Aberdeen's second season and their first in Scottish League football. They failed to gain election to the First Division in 1904, but successfully applied to join the Second Division. The team abandoned their white jerseys for a new black and gold strip this season. The Pittodrie attendance record was broken in January when 16,000 spectators watched as Glasgow club Queen's Park visited Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup. In the league, Aberdeen finished seventh out of twelve clubs. In the cup, they won through to round three after wins over Queen's Park and Bathgate, but lost to Third Lanark at Cathkin Park. Tom Ruddiman finished as the club's top scorer with ten goals from 15 appearances.Results
