The Burnley (officially: Burnley Football Club ) - also known as The Clarets (Wine Red) - is an English football club from Burnley in the east of the county Lancashire . The club was a founding member of the Football League in 1888 . He won the English championship in 1921 and 1960, and came second in 1920 and 1962, respectively. The third major success was winning the FA Cup in 1914 . He was also in the cup final in 1947 and 1962. Since the surprising 1-0 final victory against Liverpool FC in 1914 and previous surprise victories against top-class teams, Burnley FC is still considered a cup scare today . After relegation from the first division in the 1975/76 season , the club only returned to the English elite class in 2009 for a one-year stint and then in 2014. Before that, Burnley even had to compete in the fourth class Fourth Division between 1985 and 1992 .
The home games have been played in Turf Moor since 1883 , which has 22,546 seats. Burnley recorded the record attendance on February 23, 1924 in the FA Cup against Huddersfield Town , when 54,775 spectators came.

On May 18, 1882, the founders of the "Burnley Rovers Football Club" in the "Bull Hotel", which had existed since late 1881, decided to split off from rugby union to "Association Football". The team, which initially competed in blue and white uniforms, played their first compulsory game in the Lancashire Challenge Cup in October 1882, which ended with an 8-0 defeat against Astley Bridge. In 1883 the club moved with the Turf Moor to a new home ground and should have its sporting home there to this day (in the meantime, the rival Preston North End was also host in Turf Moor for a longer time).
The first game in the FA Cup in the 1885/86 season also ended in a sporting bankruptcy when a team from Burnley FC was defeated 0:11 by the Darwen Old Wanderers . However, this team was only made up of reserve players, as the FA rules strictly prohibited the use of paid players and many Burnley FC regulars were not purely amateur players in this regard. When the Football League Association came together in 1888, Burnley FC was one of the twelve founding members. In the first season , the team, now also known as Turfites , Moorites or Royalites , finished ninth. A year later, after a series of 17 games without a win at the beginning of the 1889/90 season , the team finished only in penultimate place. With the Lancashire Cup, however, Burnley FC won the first trophy in the club's history in the same year after beating Blackburn Rovers 2-0 in the final .
Before winning the next title, however, there was initially a sporting setback, which was expressed by the descent in the 1896/97 season . Already in the following season, after only two defeats in 30 games, they were promoted again. Before the promotion itself, Burnley FC still had to pass the "test round" against second Newcastle United and the two weakest first division teams of the past season - the Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City . Since Burnley and Stoke faced each other in the last encounter and both were only separated by a draw from participation in the First Division, the game consequently ended with a 0-0 (according to eyewitness reports, the game had not produced a single scoring chance). Immediately afterwards, the Football League pushed through the abolition of these test matches and ordered a direct promotion and relegation regulation. Curiously, the expansion of the First Division participants from 14 to 16 teams was also decided, with the result that the previously defeated Blackburn Rovers and Newcastle United also found their access to the First Division season 1898/99 .
At the end of the 1899/1900 season , Burnley FC rose second to last from the First Division and also made a negative name for itself through an attempted bribe on the last day of the game: goalkeeper Jack Hillman tried in vain to defeat opposing players from Nottingham Forest move and was thereupon banned for the entire subsequent season.
During the first decade of the 20th century, Burnley FC continued to play in the Second Division and at the end of the 1902/03 season even received the “red lantern” there as bottom light. In the 1911/12 season, a defeat in the last game barely prevented the return to the First Division.

For the 1910/11 season, Burnley FC had left the green jersey color behind and reintroduced burgundy-blue club colors - it was announced that they wanted to emulate the successes of Aston Villa , which also came with burgundy-blue colors. In a successful season 1912/13 succeeded in addition to a further rise in the First Division, the first entry into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, in which they drew 2: 3 but the short straw after a replay against Sunderland . While the club was able to occupy a midfield position in the league in the subsequent 1913/14 season , winning the FA Cup was the first major success in the club's history. Burnley FC defeated opposing Liverpool FC 1-0 in the final at the Crystal Palace National Sports Center . This final was also noteworthy because, with King George V , a ruling monarch presented a soccer cup for the first time.
In the following year , the team even attacked the top of the table and finished fourth, before the outbreak of the First World War paused official play until 1919. However, the good form had not suffered over this period and in the first season after the resumption of play, Burnley FC won the runner-up behind West Bromwich Albion . It was followed by three lost matches at the start of season 1920/21 , followed by a 30 games lasting unbeaten run (this also meant a record for games without defeat in series within one season, the first in the 2003/04 season from Arsenal , the even the entire season without defeat could be outbid). With the help of this streak of success, Burnley FC finally won the championship in 1921.
The title was not defended, and after third place in the 1921/22 season , a slow sporting decline began. The team fought - apart from a fifth place in the 1926/27 season - steadily against relegation, which could then no longer be averted in the 1929/30 season.
Low points (1930-1945)
Burnley FC also had to fight for relegation in the second-rate Second Division and was able to secure it in the 1931/32 season with just two points ahead of a relegation zone. Until the outbreak of the Second World War , the performance in the league was only moderate. The rare highlights were the interim entry into an FA Cup semi-finals in the 1934/35 season and in the following season the performances of the new talent Tommy Lawton , who was to leave the club for Everton FC just a year later . During the fighting itself, Burnley FC played in different soccer leagues ("Wartime Leagues") before the championship round resumed its game operations for the 1946/47 season.

The first post-war season brought Burnley FC the second division championship and thus immediately the return to the top English division. In addition, the "still second division" moved into the FA Cup final of 1947 after victories against Aston Villa, Coventry City , Luton Town , Middlesbrough FC and Liverpool FC, but in the Burnley at Wembley Stadium after extra time with 0 : Lost 1 to Charlton Athletic .
In the First Division, the Clarets proved themselves directly with a third place in the 1947/48 season and were ambitious as a serious competitor for the future trophy awards. In the 1956/57 season, a 9-0 win against New Brighton FC in the FA Cup ensured the club's record victory, which is still valid today - a double-digit result was only prevented by a missed penalty. In the following season, the former player Harry Potts took over as coach. Potts led the team, which was driven by the duo Jimmy Adamson and Jimmy McIlroy in midfield during the 1950s , in the 1959/60 season to the second English championship in the club's history (late honors were the naming of a grandstand in Turf Moor after McIlroy and a road around Turf Moor to Potts in the 1990s). The was an exciting title fight against Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers preceded, and only on May 2, 1960 - the final day - the Burnley could goals from Brian Pilkington and Trevor Meredith with a 2: 1 win over Manchester City on the Maine Road for the first time to fight for the lead in the season.
In the 1960/61 season , the club acted for the first time in the European Cup , finished fourth in the English championship and moved into the FA Cup semi-finals. A runner-up followed the following year, and in the FA Cup, the club lost 3-1 to Spurs in the final ( Jimmy Robson had scored the Clarets' only goal ). However, after the move from McIlroy to Stoke City and the resignation of Adamson, the team was permanently weakened. In addition, the regulation on the upper salary limit (“maximum wage”), which was abolished in 1961, had a detrimental effect on the fate of the association. For the time being, however, the club was able to keep its place in the First Division and reached two interim highlights with the third championship rank in 1966 and the semi-finals in the league cup in the 1968/69 season. Otherwise, the remaining 1960s were characterized by mediocrity and Potts was replaced in 1970 by Adamson on the coaching position. This could not stop the decline and in the 1970/71 season a long period of first division football in Burnley ended with relegation.
Adamson led the club in the 1972/73 season through the second division championship back to the First Division, and with the help of playmaker Martin Dobson , the team was able to occupy sixth place in 1974 and again reach the semi-finals in the FA Cup, where Newcastle United is now the final destination was. Although Dobson was then sold to Everton FC early in the 1974/75 season , the team still took a good tenth place in the league. Disappointing, on the other hand, was a 1-0 home defeat in the FA Cup against Wimbledon FC , which at that time only played in the lower class in the Southern League and with this success caused one of the biggest surprises in the history of the English cup competition. At the end of Adamson's tenure, after the completion of the 1975/76 season , another relegation from the major league followed, to which Burnley FC should not return until 2009.

Three mediocre seasons followed in the Second Division, before Burnley then slipped into the third-rate Third Division for the first time in its history at the end of the 1979/80 season . The team was only in good shape at times in the middle of the season and was completely without a win in both the first and the last 16 league games. Under the leadership of coach Brian Miller , the team then returned to the Second Division after two years as third division champions, where the stay was only intended to last one more season - although partial successes were celebrated in the two domestic cup competitions in the last mentioned season 1982/83 (the FA Cup quarter-final against Sheffield Wednesday was accompanied by a League Cup semi-final against Liverpool after a win against Tottenham Hotspur).
The phase towards the mid-1980s was characterized by frequent changes of coach. Early in 1983, Frank Casper replaced Miller, who had suffered relegation, who was then replaced by John Bond for the 1983/84 season . But Bond was only a year in the responsible office before then John Benson took over in August 1984, with the club in the 1984/85 season even started, the path in the fourth League ( Fourth Division had to play). After a short-term engagement from Martin Buchan , Tommy Cavanagh led the team through the 1985/86 season before Brian Miller settled for a second coaching period at Burnley FC.
The 1986/87 season was disappointing for Burnley FC, but it had a climax in the end when the team took on the "Orient Game", which even years later is regarded by fans as the most important game in the club's history. The Football League had introduced a new automatic promotion and relegation regulation between fourth division clubs and clubs from the semi-professional Football Conference below for the 1986/87 season , although at that time the loss of membership in the professional Football League Association was still a significant one Had meant incision, from which many clubs could no longer recover. At the same time, Colne Dynamos (today: FC Colne), a club located in the immediate vicinity, was in the midst of a soaring in the non-league football sector and largely disputed the ailing FC Burnley's favor in terms of audience appeal. In the season, which had also been accompanied by a 3-0 defeat by the Clarets against the lower-class Telford United, Burnley FC needed a win against Orient and a simultaneous defeat of Lincoln City on the last day of the season to stay in the league . Their own success finally came with a 2-1 win with goals from Neil Grewcock and Ian Britton , and Lincoln lost too.

In May 1988 Burnley FC was back in a cup final at Wembley Stadium. Opponents were the Wolverhampton Wanderers in front of 80,000 spectators in the Sherpa Van Trophy , and the duel between the two former top clubs found the Wolves with a 2-0 win.
The promotion from the lowest class was achieved precisely in the 1991/92 season, which was to be the last season in which the fourth division was still called the "Fourth Division" (after the subsequent introduction of the Premier League it was henceforth the "Third Division") . Only two years later succeeded under the leadership of Jimmy Mullen the march into the now "First Division" called the second highest English league, where the promotion could be made perfect by a win at Wembley against Stockport County . Just as it had been uphill before, the signs then went down again, as the stay in the second division lasted only one season and in the 1997/98 season only a 2-1 win on the last day of the game against Plymouth Argyle made the fall again fourth league just prevented. This season's coach was former England international Chris Waddle , and after his departure, the signing of Stan Ternent in the summer of 1998 marked another turning point for the better.
With the third division championship in the 1999/2000 season, the promotion to what is now known as the Football League Championship , where the club played until 2009, succeeded again. Within the next two seasons Burnley FC was a serious contender for a play-off spot for promotion to the Premier League, but in the 2002/03 season an above-average number of goals conceded again caused sporting setbacks. When there was no lasting improvement in the two years that followed, Ternent's six-year tenure ended in June 2004. Steve Cotterill took over the sporting direction of the Clarets .

In the first year of Cotterill's coaching, the team developed into a good cup team in both domestic competitions and defeated the two Premier League clubs Liverpool FC and Aston Villa. In the end, the team finished 13th in the league and Cotterill had made progress on the defensive, mainly by rejuvenating the team. Gary Cahill , who had been loaned from Aston Villa and was already regarded by many experts as one of England's future top players , also played a major role in this .
Burnley FC started the 2005/06 season with good performances, but lost more and more ground after the turn of the year - especially after the sale of Ade Akinbiyi to Sheffield United in January - and finished in 17th place in the table. Cotterill responded to the loss of form with some new purchases, including Steve Jones and Stephen Foster , two free transfer players from Crewe Alexandra . Andy Gray has been permanently signed by Sunderland FC , having previously played on loan with the Clarets since January 2006 . The new players fitted in well into the team structure and for a long time it looked like the club with a second division top position could achieve the best result in nearly 30 years. In the middle of the 2006/07 season, however, the club experienced a negative series that even catapulted him into the vicinity of the relegation ranks in March 2007 (striker Gray also had to struggle with injury problems). During the winter transfer period, Akinbiyi had returned for a transfer fee of £ 750,000 after less than a year had passed since he left. In addition, Éric Djemba-Djemba was loaned from Aston Villa and Joey Guðjónsson from AZ Alkmaar and Steven Caldwell signed just nine minutes before the end of the transfer window. The hoped-for improvement initially failed to materialize, and in mid-March the team was in 19th place only three points away from relegation rank. With the 18th game without a win, the team had even broken the old negative record from the 1889/90 season. A 4-0 win against Plymouth Argyle ended this losing streak on April 4, 2007, and after a further consolidation of the results, Burnley FC finally managed to stay 15th in the league.
For the 2007/08 season, Cotterill signed a number of players with Premier League or second division experience, including Gábor Király , Robbie Blake , Clarke Carlisle , Stephen Jordan , David Unsworth and Graham Alexander . Then there was the Albanian Besart Berisha from Hamburger SV , who had previously played against an English B selection at Turf Moor with his national team. Despite the numerous reinforcements, the performances were not consistent from the start and the football style was perceived as unattractive. After a weak home performance against Hull City , Cotterill left Burnley FC on November 8, 2007 by mutual agreement with the club's management. Steve Davis took over the coaching position on an interim basis at short notice and successfully completed his only game as head coach with a 1-0 win over Leicester City .

On November 22, 2007, Owen Coyle was introduced as the new coach. He made his debut two days later in a 0-0 draw against Stoke City . In the 2008/09 season, Burnley FC developed into a big surprise in English football. In the League Cup Burnley defeated the first division club from Fulham in the fourth round and then beat the top clubs Chelsea and Arsenal. Burnley FC only lost to Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals, after they had saved themselves in extra time despite a 4-1 defeat in the second leg. In addition, the club played at the top in the second division and initially ended the regular season just behind a direct promotion place. However, after successes against Reading FC and Sheffield United, the long-awaited promotion to the Premier League succeeded via the playoffs .
Despite a good start to the 2009/10 season , when both reigning champions Manchester United and Everton were defeated 1-0 at home, poor away results in particular caused a fall in the lower regions of the table. Ultimately, despite a win against Tottenham Hotspur on the final day of the match, the club was relegated from the Premier League after just one year. Coach Coyle had left the club at the beginning of 2010 for Bolton Wanderers and under Brian Law's successor , the performances were not improved.

Burnley started as a co-favorite on promotion to the 2010/11 second division season, but the team performance could not keep up with expectations and in December 2010 Laws was fired. Under the new coach Eddie Howe , the Clarets finished the round in eighth place .
In October 2012 Howe left the club for personal reasons for his home club AFC Bournemouth and in the same month, Sean Dyche, a former coach of Watford FC, was introduced as the new manager. This succeeded with Burnley in the 2013/14 season, the direct promotion to the English Premier League , after the reigning FA Cup winner Wigan Athletic had been defeated 2-0 on April 21, 2014. Relegation in the Premier League failed, however, relegation was followed by immediate resurgence in 2016. In the 2016/17 season , the club managed to stay in the top English league for the first time since the 1974/75 season with 16th place . In the following season the club was not in danger of relegation for the entire season and at the end of the season occupied 7th place in the table, which entitles the club to participate in the UEFA Europa League for the first time .
