History
Early days: 1882-1912
In May 1882, Burnley Rovers Football Club decided to shift their allegiance from rugby union to football.

In 1883 the club moved to Turf Moor and remain there, only their Lancashire rivals Preston having occupied the same ground continuously for longer.

The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after Darwen is a Market town in Lancashire, England extending onto the West Pennine Moors. Blackburn ( is a large town in Lancashire, England. It lies to the north of the West Pennine Moors on the southern edge of the Ribble Valley When it was decided to found The Football League for the 1888-89 season, Burnley were among the 12 founders of that competition. The Football League, also known as the Coca-Cola Football League for sponsorship reasons is a league competition featuring professional football clubs Burnley, now known as 'The Turfites', 'Moorites' or 'The Royalites' finished 9th in the first season of the league but only 1 place from bottom in 1889-90 following a 17-game winless streak at the start of the season. That season did, however, present Burnley with their first honours, winning the Lancashire Cup with a 2-0 final victory over Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn Rovers Football Club is an English Premier League football club based in the town of Blackburn, Lancashire. Before Burnley would win a trophy again, they would be relegated to the Second Division in 1896-97. They responded to this by winning promotion the next season, losing only 2 of their 30 matches along the way before gaining promotion through a play-off series then known as 'Test Matches'. Burnley and Stoke City both entered the last match, to be played between the two teams, needing a draw for promotion (or in Stoke's case to retain their First Division place). Stoke City Football Club is a football club based in Stoke-on-Trent, England. A 0-0 draw ensued, reportedly 'The Match without a shot at goal' and the League immediately withdrew the Test Match system in favour of automatic promotion and relegation. Ironically, the League also decided to expand the top division after the Test Match series of 1897-98 and the other two teams also went into the top division for the following year, negating the effect of Burnley and Stoke's reputed collusion. Burnley were relegated again in 1899-00 and found themselves at the centre of a controversy when their goalkeeper, Jack Hillman attempted to bribe their opponents in the last match of the season (Nottingham Forest), resulting in his suspension for the whole of the following season. Nottingham Forest Football Club is an English professional football club based at the City Ground in West Bridgford, a suburb of Nottingham During the first decade of the 20th century, Burnley continued to play in the second division, even finishing in bottom place in one season, although the indications of success just around the corner were evident in 1911-12 when only a loss in the last game of the season denied the club promotion. The twentieth century of the Common Era began on
Clarets' glory either side of World War I: 1912-1930
Burnley changed their colours from green to their now traditional claret and sky blue for the 1910-11 season, reportedly aiming to enjoy the same success enjoyed by Aston Villa who also wore those colours. The 1912-13 season saw them win promotion to the First Division once more, as well as reaching the FA Cup semi-final, only to lose to Sunderland. The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after Sunderland Association Football Club is a professional Association football team based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, England, which plays in The next season was one of consolidation in the top flight, but more importantly their first major honour, the FA Cup, won 1-0 in the last final played at Crystal Palace against Liverpool.

This cup final was historic in that King George V became the first reigning monarch to present the cup to the winning captain. World War I impacted the 1914-15 season, in which Burnley finished 4th in the First Division, before English football reorganised itself and took a back seat to the needs of the conflict. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Upon resumption of full-time football in 1919-20, Burnley finished second in the First Division to West Brom but this was not a peak, merely presaging Burnley's first ever League Championship in 1920-21. West Bromwich Albion Football Club (also known as West Brom, The Baggies, Albion, The Albion, The Throstles or WBA) are Burnley lost their opening three matches that season before going on a 30-match unbeaten run, a record for unbeaten games in a single season that lasted until Arsenal went unbeaten through the whole of the 2003-04 season. Burnley finished third the following season but thereafter followed a steady deterioration of their position, with only 5th place in 1926-27 offering respite from a series of near-relegations which culminated in demotion in 1929-30.
Low points through World War II: 1930-1945
Burnley struggled in English football's second tier, narrowly avoiding a further relegation in 1931-32 by only two points. The years through to the outbreak of the Second World War were characterised by uninspiring league finishes, broken only by an FA Cup semi-final appearance in 1934-35 and the arrival (and equally swift departure) of Tommy Lawton. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Tommy Lawton ( 6 October, 1919 - 6 November, 1996) was an English association footballer who rose to fame a short time before Burnley participated in the varying football leagues that continued throughout the war, but it wasn't until the 1946-47 season that league football proper was restored.
Golden days: 1946-1976
In the first season of post-war league football, Burnley gained promotion through second place in the second division. Additionally, there was a run to the FA Cup Final, with Aston Villa, Coventry, Luton Town, Middlesbrough and Liverpool being defeated before Charlton Athletic beat Burnley 1-0 after extra time in the final at Wembley.

Burnley immediately made an impact the top division, finishing third in 1947-48 as the club began to assemble a team capable of regularly aiming for honours. 1956-57 saw a club record 9-0 victory over New Brighton in the FA Cup - despite missing a penalty and the following season former player Harry Potts became manager. Harry Potts (22 October 1920 – 16 January 1996 was an English football player and manager The team of the 1950s revolved around the midfield duo of Jimmy Adamson and Jimmy McIlroy (a new stand was named after the latter in the 1990s) and these two were key to the championship-winning team of 1959-1960 managed by Potts (who now gives his name to the road which Turf Moor occupies).

The following season Burnley played in European competition for the first time, lost in an FA Cup semi-final and finished fourth in the league and the highlights of the 1961-62 season were finishing second in the league and a run to The FA Cup Final, where a Jimmy Robson goal was Burnley's only reply to 3 from Spurs. Although far from a two-man team, the departure of McIlroy to Stoke City and retirement of Adamson coincided with a decline in fortunes. Stoke City Football Club is a football club based in Stoke-on-Trent, England. More damaging was the impact of the 1961 abolition of the maximum wage; nonetheless they managed to retain their First Division place through out the decade finishing 3rd in 1966 and reaching the semi-final of the League Cup in 1968-69.

They also reached the quarter-finals of of the 1966-67 Fairs Cup, in which they were knocked out by Eintracht Frankfurt. Eintracht Frankfurt is a German Sports club, based in Frankfurt, Hesse that is best known for its football team. The remainder of the decade was otherwise one of mid-table mediocrity, with Potts being replaced by Adamson as manager in 1970. Adamson was unable to halt the slide and relegation followed in 1970-71 ending a long unbroken top flight spell during which, more often than not, they had been in the upper reaches of the League table.
Burnley won the Second Division title in 1972-73 with Adamson still in charge. In the First Division, led by elegant playmaker Martin Dobson, the side managed 6th in 1974 as well as reaching another FA Cup semi-final; this time losing out to Newcastle United.

Relegation from the First Division in 1975-76 saw the end of Adamson's tenure as manager, and the club have not been back at the highest level since.
Decline and near oblivion: 1976-1987
Three non-descript seasons in the Second Division followed before relegation to the Third Division in 1979-80. Of 42 league games, Burnley could not manage a win in either their first or last 16. Two seasons later, now under the management of Brian Miller, they were promoted as champions. George Brian Miller (more commonly known as Brian Miller) ( January 19, 1937 &ndash April 7 2007) was a former professional footballer However, this return was short-lived, lasting only one year; albeit a year in which the team reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and the semi-final of the League Cup, recording victories over Spurs and Liverpool in the latter.

Martin Buchan (briefly) and then Tommy Cavanagh saw the side through the 1985-86 season before Miller returned for the 1986-87 season, the last match of which is known as 'The Orient Game'.

Although, in retrospect, this has only served to blur the lines between professional and semi-professional leagues in England, at the time it was perceived that teams losing league status might never recover from this. Additionally, Burnley had a new local rival in Colne Dynamos who were rapidly progressing through the English non-league system at the same time as the former champions of England were in the lowest level of the league. Colne Dynamoes FC was a football club based in Colne, Lancashire, England. After a disastrous season (which also saw a first round FA Cup 3-0 defeat at non-league Telford), Burnley went into the last match needing a win against Leyton Orient.

Structure The Trophy is currently contested by just Football League One and Football League Two clubs and from season 2006-07 is played in a knock-out ( 80,000 people packed Wembley to its capacity, unsurprisingly a record for a match between two teams from English football's fourth tier, as two great old clubs started to find an upturn in their fortunes. Wolves ran out convincing 2-0 winners. In 1991-92, Burnley were champions in the last ever season of the Fourth Division before the league reorganisation, and two years later they won the new Division Two play-offs and gained promotion to Division One under Jimmy Mullen. That too was as a result of a match at Wembley, this time against Stockport County. Stockport County Football Club is an English football club based in Stockport, England. However, relegation followed after just one season and in 1997-98 only last match 2-1 victory over Plymouth Argyle ensured a narrow escape from relegation into Division Three.

Burnley made a good start to the 2006-07 season and looked contenders to gain a top division place for the first time in some 30 years, but their form tailed away badly in mid-season leaving them threatened by relegation going into March 2007, partly due to an injury to leading goalscorer, Gray. Akinbiyi was re-signed less than 12 months after he left, for a fee of around £750,000, but was less prolific than in his previous spell. Mid-season also saw the loan signing of Eric Djemba-Djemba from Aston Villa and the signings of both Joey Guðjónsson from AZ Alkmaar for £150,000 plus add ons and Steven Caldwell who signed just 9 minutes before the transfer deadline.

These changes were not enough to save Burnley from falling to 19th place by the middle of March, 3 points away from the relegation zone. The 2006-07 squad set an unenviable club record - the longest run in a season without a league win, with their 18th winless game (19 including a cup games) against Luton meaning they were one worse than the 17 league game streak of the 1889-1890 season. Luton Town Football Club are an English football team based in the town of Luton in Bedfordshire.

[1] After three years of amber and purple stripes with black shorts, for much of the 1890s a combination of black with amber stripes was used, although the club wore a shirt with pink and white stripes during the 1894-95 season. Between 1897 and 1900 the club used a plain red shirt and from 1900 until 1910 the club changed to an all green shirt with white shorts. In 1910 it was decided to adopt the claret and sky blue of the football league champions Aston Villa. [1]
