Motherwell enjoyed a successful period in the aftermath of World War I, managed by John Hunter. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All John 'Sailor' Hunter ( 6 April 1879 — 12 January 1966) was a Scottish football player and manager The club placed third in the 1919-20 season - and although narrowly avoiding relegation in 1924-25, it steadily climbed the table and enjoyed seven successive seasons finishing in the top three. Motherwell's first (and to this day only) First Division league championship came in 1931-32 - with 30 wins in 38 fixtures, scoring 119 goals - a record 52 of which were scored by Willie MacFadyen, who remains to this day one of the club's all-time top goalscorers with 251 goals.

Motherwell also contested three Scottish Cup finals in this period - in 1931, 1933 and 1939, although were defeated on all three occasions.

Following the breakup of the squad after World War II, the club was not as instantly successful, although capturing its second major trophy with the 1950 Scottish League Cup - and claimed the Scottish Cup at the fourth time of asking at the conclusion of the next season. 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 However, the club's first-ever relegation followed at the end of the 1952-53 season, although the club were again promoted the next year. Following their return to the First Division, Bobby Ancell took management of the club in 1955 and presided over an era in which many highly regarded Scotland stars like Ian St. John and Charlie Aitken played for the club. Robert Francis Dudgeon Ancell ( 16 June 1911 &ndash 5 July 1987) was a Scottish football player and manager The Scotland national football team represents Scotland in international football and is controlled by the Scottish Football Association.

However, Motherwell were unable to keep their assets - St. John notably attracted a high transfer fee from Liverpool - and no trophies were won in Ancell's era, with his resignation coming in 1965 amidst a downturn in form which eventually saw the club relegated back to the Second Division at the conclusion of the 1967-68 season.

1970s recovery and the McLean era

Motherwell were immediately promoted back to the First Division in 1969, maintaining a mid-table position. When the 18-team First Division was superseded by a new 10-team Premier League for the 1975-76 season, Motherwell improved to fourth in the table, but only maintained their position in the Premier League briefly. Relegation down to the now-First Division and promotion back to the Premier League occurred twice in the early 1980s, before a successful decade under manager Tommy McLean which culminated in a famous Scottish Cup win in 1991.

Emergence from administration

Despite the lack of resources, Butcher was able to find a number of young talented players to play for the club; crucially, when many of these moved on, including Stephen Pearson and James McFadden, they brought revenue in the form of transfer fees, and with John Boyle waiving the club's personal debt to him, its financial future was assured by the conclusion of the 2004-05 season with the club's yearly losses falling to one of the lowest figures in the Premier League[7] and the club coming out of administration in time to avoid a ten-point Premier League penalty which was being phased in for teams in administration[8].
