Formed in 1822 as an amateur association, Lincoln turned professional in the 1891-92 season. Originally they played at the John O'Gaunts ground, however, in 1895 they moved to their current ground, Sincil Bank. The following are the Association football events of the year 1895 throughout the world

Their championship honours include three Division 3 (North) championships in 1931-32, 1947-48 and 1951-52, a Division 4 (now League Two) championship in 1975-76 (when they were managed by future England manager Graham Taylor). A national third tier of English league football was established in 1958-59, as the Third Division. A national fourth tier of English league football was established in 1958-59, as the Fourth Division. Football League Two (often referred to as League Two for short or Coca-Cola Football League 2 for Sponsorship reasons is the third-highest division of Graham Taylor OBE (born 15 September 1944 Worksop, Nottinghamshire) is a football manager and a former player

It was the 1975-76 season where the club broke the record for most points for a whole season when 2 instead of 3 points were awarded for a win with 74 points in total (this was and still is the record amount of points achieved under the 2 point system); the record of winning the most games (32) and losing the fewest (4), was also set. [1][2][3] City also become the first club in nearly a decade to score over 100 league goals (111 in total). They also won 21 out of 23 home league games in this season (the other 2 were drawn) and also won 11 games away from home, another impressive bout from the club. It was the season where, Graham Taylor recalls, "teams were petrified of coming to Sincil Bank". [4]

Their most recent championship was the Conference, in the 1987-88 season. Conference National (currently named the Blue Square Premier for sponsorship reasons is the top division of the Football Conference. This season saw the club set an all-time record attendance (which has only just been beaten by Oxford United) for a Conference match, attracting 9,432 spectators in a game against Wycombe Wanderers, on 2 May 1988, the last game of the season.

The following are the Football (soccer events of the year 1988 throughout the world The game also decided the championship, as Lincoln had not occupied the top-spot at any point in the season prior to this 2 - 0 victory.

Their highest ever position achieved came in the 1901-02 season, where they reached 5th position in the English Division 2 (now known as the Championship). A national second tier of English league football was established in 1892-93, as the Second Division. The Football League Championship (often referred to as The Championship for short or the Coca-Cola Football League Championship for sponsorship reasons The last season that the club spent in this division was in 1960/61, they have never returned since.

Lincoln's record in major cup competitions has left a lot to be desired. Their best feat in the FA Cup has been the Last-16 three times, the last time being over 100 years ago in the 1901/02 season; and their best performance in the League Cup came in 1967/68 when they reached the Fourth Round after losing 0 - 3 at home to Derby County in a replay. The Football Association Challenge Cup, commonly known as the FA Cup, is a knockout cup competition in English football, run by and named after The Football League Cup, commonly known as the League Cup, is an English football competition Derby County Football Club is a professional football club based at Pride Park Stadium in Derby England.

In very recent history, the club have also been in the chase for promotion from the fourth tier via the play-offs five times, twice reaching the finals (2002/03 & 04/05) and three times getting knocked out in the semi-finals (2003/04, 05/06 & 06/07), each time under the guidance of Keith Alexander with the exception of the 2006/07 play-offs. For other people of this name see Keith Alexander Keith Alexander (born 14 November 1956 in Nottingham The failure to succeed in five successive play-off competitions is a record.

The last time Lincoln were in a higher league than League Two was in the 1998/99 season where they played in the Division 2 (now League One), after they had gained automatic promotion via 3rd position the previous season. A national third tier of English league football was established in 1958-59, as the Third Division.

The world-famous "Dambusters" theme is normally played when Lincoln score at Sincil Bank and supporters of the club can often be heard singing the tune and doing the flying motions when this happens. This is because The Dambusters were based just outside of Lincoln, being formed at the nearby RAF Scampton during World War II, and are therefore at the heart of the city's history. No 617 Squadron of the Royal Air Force is better known as the "Dambusters" squadron RAF Scampton is a Royal Air Force station situated north of Lincoln in England, near the village of Scampton, on the site of an old 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

Throughout Time

Having formed officially as an amateur association in 1884 after the disbanding of Lincoln Rovers (formerly Lincoln Recreation), football in the city of Lincoln had in fact been prominent since the 1860s (although not strictly connected to the modern day club).

The first game Lincoln played as an amateur team at the John O'Gaunts Ground, a ground that wealthy local brewer Robert Dawber provided and rented out to the club, was an emphatic 9-1 victory over local rivals Sleaford, on 4 October 1884. Events 610 - Heraclius arrives by ship from Africa at Constantinople, overthrows Byzantine Emperor Phocas Year 1884 ( MDCCCLXXXIV) was a Leap year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Leap year George Hallam set two records for the club that day. He scored the first ever goal for the club, and also the first ever hat-trick. Their first competitive game at home also ended in an emphatic manner, beating Boston Excelsior 11 - 0, with Edwin Teesdale scoring four goals. It was at this time initially, where, before the club gained entry into the Football League and professional status, the County Cup was their main priority. They got their hands on it for the first time in the 1886/87 season with a 2 - 0 replay victory over neighbours Grimsby Town (the initial match had finished 2 - 2).

Lincoln then soon helped to form what was then the Second Division in 1892/93 season as there was an increasing amount of clubs wanting to join the Football League. Their first game in the Football League was a 4 - 2 away defeat to Sheffield United on 3 September 1892. Events 36 BC - In the Battle of Naulochus, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, Admiral of Octavian, defeats Sextus Pompeius Year 1892 ( MDCCCXCII) was a Leap year starting on Friday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Leap year [5] Their first home game was also against Sheffield United, this time, however, Lincoln won 1 - 0.

The first game at Sincil Bank in 1895, after moving from the John O'Gaunts Ground due to Dawber's death, was a 0 - 0 friendly draw with local rivals, Gainsborough Trinity. The first competitive fixture at the ground was against Arsenal, the game ended 1 - 1.

Up until the 1920s Lincoln spent most of their time swinging between the Second Division and the more localised leagues, the Midland and also the Central league. After then, however, in the 1921/22 season, Lincoln, along with several other clubs from the Central and Midland leagues, founded the Third Division (North). The newly founded league and the Second Division would take turns in becoming Lincoln's home up until the early 1960s where they would drop a further division to the Fourth Division in the 1962/63 season.

In 1982 and again in 1983, Lincoln narrowly missed out on promotion to the Second Division. Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) Year 1983 ( MCMLXXXIII) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays the 1983 Gregorian calendar)

In 1985, Lincoln were the opposition at Bradford City when the Bradford Fire claimed the lives of 56 spectators - two of them, Bill Stacey and Jim West, were Lincoln fans, and subsequently these fans had the Stacey West stand named after them. Bradford City Association Football Club (also known as The Bantams, and previously The Paraders) is an English football club based in Bradford

Lincoln were relegated on the last day of the following season, and the year after that they became the first team to suffer automatic relegation from the Football League. This was a dramatic decline for a club who had almost reached the Second Division four years earlier and has been linked to the trauma arising from the disaster.

They regained their Football League place automatically via promotion as champions of the Conference (beforehand it was done by re-election) at the first attempt with a long ball game devised by eccentric manager Colin Murphy and have held on to it ever since.

On 8 September 1990, Lincoln were the opposition when David Longhurst suffered a fatal heart attack during the first half of a game against York City at Bootham Crescent. Events 70 - Roman forces under Titus sack Jerusalem. 1264 - The Statute of Kalisz Year 1990 ( MCMXC) was a Common year starting on Monday (link displays the 1990 Gregorian calendar) York City Football Club is an English football club based in York, North Yorkshire.

Recently they have spent most of their time in the former Division 3 (now League Two) with one season spent in Division 2 (now League One) in the 1998/99 season.

In 2002/03, with the departure of manager Alan Buckley his assistant, Keith Alexander, was put in charge and given the task of keeping the team in the football league, he proved the many pundits and fans who believed that Lincoln would be relegated and sent out of business due to financial irregularities wrong. Alan Peter Buckley (born 20 April 1951 in Mansfield, England) is an English football Manager. With a team made up of cheap ex-non-league players and the lower paid members of the previous seasons squad he managed to take them to the Play-Off final which they lost 5 - 2 to Bournemouth. AFC Bournemouth are an English football club currently playing in Football League Two. The team were rewarded with a civil reception in Lincoln, and an open-top bus ride through Lincoln, an event usually preserved for the winners of such competitions, but was awarded to the team because of the massive achievement.

In 2003/04 Alexander again confounded the critics by coaching the Imps to another Play-Off position, this time losing to eventual winners Huddersfield Town in the semi-finals. Huddersfield Town Football Club is an English football club formed in 1908 and based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. Alexander, one of the very few black managers in the Football League, had a very serious brain injury (a cerebral aneurysm) halfway through the season, but made a full recovery.

In the 2004/05 season they again qualified for the Play-Offs, for a third year running, and in the Semi-Finals Lincoln beat Macclesfield Town 2 - 1 on aggregate over two legs but lost in the final against Southend United 2 - 0 after extra time.

In the 2005/06 season Lincoln City again reached the play-offs after many fans and critics believed that they would finish in the mid-table after losing many of their first team regulars from the previous 3 campaigns. In January both Alexander and former Assistant Manager, Gary Simpson, were put on gardening leave by the board. Alexander was soon after reinstated, however, Simpson was never to return. Shortly after, over a disagreement with other board members over the way the club was being run and certain personnel, two prominent board members, Ray Trew and Keith Roe departed from the club. Lincoln brushed this saga to the side though, and finished 7th in League 2 after only losing 3 games since the new year. Lincoln were to face local neighbours Grimsby Town in the Play-Offs, a side they had beaten 5-0 at Sincil Bank earlier in the season. Grimsby Town are an English Football club playing in League Two, the fourth tier of English football However, once again it was not to be, as Lincoln lost 3 - 1 on aggregate to become the first team ever to lose four consecutive Play-Off competitions.

After speculation that he would take up the vacant managerial role at Peterborough United, Keith Alexander left his position as manager of Lincoln City by mutual consent on May 24, 2006 stating that he could take the club no further, and shortly after on June 15 John Schofield was appointed his successor, with John Deehan as Director of Football.

For the fifth year in a row, under a different manager, however, Lincoln City reached the League Two Play-Offs after finishing 5th in the league (the highest position that they have qualified for the Play-Offs in). Once again, however, they lost, this time to Bristol Rovers in the Semi-Finals courtesy of a 2 - 1 defeat away and a 3 - 5 defeat at home. Bristol Rovers Football Club is an English professional football team based in Bristol. The failure to succeed in five successive Play-Off competitions is a record for any club.

Crest

Up until recently the club's logo was very simple in design, with the traditional county logo having "L C F C" inside it and a marquee displaying the club's name below it. Since, however, Lincoln have opted to go with a more modern and stylish design, with the club's mascot and nickname replacing what was originally there.

Colours

Traditionally the colours and design of the Lincoln City strip have been a red and white striped shirt along with black shorts and red socks. This has varied, however, as in the late 1960s and early 70s, the club opted to field a predominantly red strip with white shorts, and also in the 2000/01 season where the shirt was quartered red and white with white shorts. Their away kit has never retained any single pattern or design, and has varied vastly throughout the seasons.

In the 2006/07 season, Lincoln have retained their traditional home kit colours and style, and have a predominantly black away strip with red side stripes, also with red shorts and black socks. This has been the away strip of choice for two seasons now. Their current sponsors are Starglaze (home) and Haart (away), with their kit manufacturer being Uhlsport. Dennis Horton & Son, also sponsor Lincoln, with their logo appearing at the top centre on the reverse of their home kit.

A brand new set of kits was introduced for the 2007/08 season due to the club changing kit supplier from Uhlsport to Umbro. Uhlsport is a manufacturer of football (primarily goalkeeper equipment Umbro ( is a British sportswear and equipment supplier based in Cheadle, Greater Manchester, England. The home shirt retains the traditional red and white stripes.
