The Bury FC (officially: Bury Football Club ) is an English football club from Bury in Greater Manchester .

history

The club was founded in 1885 and has played at Gigg Lane (now: Planet-U Energy Stadium ) ever since . In 1889, Bury FC was a founding member of the Lancashire League until the club joined the Second Division in 1894 , which was won in its first year. After a play-off victory against Liverpool , the team rose to Division One .

In 1900 the "Shakers" won the FA Cup with a 4-0 victory over Southampton FC . In 1903 the club repeated this success, whereby no goal was conceded during the entire cup tournament. The final was won 6-0 against Derby County , which is still the highest final win in the history of the FA Cup.

The nickname "The Shakers" originated on April 23, 1892 in the Lancashire Cup Final. With Bury up against a stronger opponent, the club's first president JT Ingham encouraged the club by saying, “We shall shake 'em. In fact we are the Shakers ”, translated:“ We will shake them. Indeed we are shaken. "

Bury FC has produced many well-known players such as Dean Kiely , Terry McDermott , Alec Lindsay , Colin Bell , Lee Dixon and Neville Southall .

In 2005, Bury became the first football club in England to score 1,000 goals in each of the top four divisions.

Bury FC announced on April 10, 2013 that they are urgently looking for investors who will provide a total of £ 1 million for the club to ensure the long-term survival of the financially troubled club.

During the 2018/19 season , the club ran into major financial problems again. In January 2019 Steve Dale took over the club from Stewart Day for the symbolic sum of £ 1 without the approval of the Football League, and in February 2019 he paid the club's tax debt. At the beginning of April 2019 financial problems came to light again after no salaries were transferred to players and employees, and payments were not made in the following months. Nevertheless, the team managed by coach Ryan Lowe as runner-up in League One. Despite a haircut through a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA), which brought the club a deduction of twelve points for the new season, the Football League Bury refused to start the season because the club could not explain how the CVA should be complied with. After no proof of sufficient financial coverage was provided in the following weeks and a potential takeover had withdrawn, the club was excluded from the Football League on August 27, 2019.
