191920 Gillingham FC season

During the 1919–20 English football season, Gillingham F.C. played in the Southern League Division One. The team played 47 competitive matches, winning 11, drawing 10, and losing 26. They finished bottom of the league table but nonetheless gained entry to the national Football League. The club had been inactive for over four years due to the First World War. Most of the players from the final season before the war did not return, and the club signed a host of new players to take their place. Arthur Wood was the team's top goalscorer, with 12 goals in the league and 14 in total. Tom Leslie made the most appearances, playing 40 times. The highest attendance recorded at the club's home ground, Priestfield Road, was approximately 10,000 for league games against Swindon Town and Brighton & Hove Albion and an FA Cup match against Swansea Town. It was the 22nd season in which the club competed in the southern league, the 21st in Division One, and their 21st season in Division Two. The Southern League had proposed an amalgamation with the national football league earlier in the year, but it was rejected.
