History

Llanberis F.C. were founded in 1890. Dr. Robert Herbert Mills-Roberts, who was a former Preston North End and Wales goalkeeper, graduated as a doctor in July 1887. A few years later he took over the running of the Dinorwic Slate Quarry Hospital, and it was during this time he became one of the founding fathers of Llanberis F.C.

However, Llanberis F.C. have been known as Llanberis United from the early 1900s until 1920 and CPD Locomotive Llanberis from 1980 until 2004 when they were sponsored by the Snowdon Mountain Railway.

Llanberis F.C. former nicknames were: Llanber, Y Blac and Amber, Y Teigars, Locomotives and Y Loco.[1]
