QUILMES ATLéTICO CLUB

'Quilmes Atlético Club' is the oldest football team in Argentina currently playing in the Argentine 2nd division
Founded in 1887 by J. T. Stevenson in Quilmes under the name of ''Quilmes Rovers Club'' and later renamed to ''Quilmes Athletic Club'' in 1900. Its first team was completely formed by British immigrants:
:Fothergil;
:Penman (captain), Francis;
:Tuker, Wilson, Moffat;
:Lamont, Muir, Belaumont, Morgan and Cladewell.
The club acquired its current name in 1950, because Perón wanted to change it to a Spanish form.
