History
Early days: 1882-1912 In May 1882, Burnley Rovers Football Club decided to shift their allegiance from rugby union to football. Playing in various blue and white kits for their first few years, the club played their first competitive game in October 1882 against Astley Bridge in the Lancashire Challenge Cup, that game ending in an 8-0 defeat. In 1883 the club moved to Turf Moor and remain there, only their Lancashire rivals Preston having occupied the same ground continuously for longer. Burnley first appeared in the FA Cup in 1885-86 but were ignominiously beaten 11-0 when eligibility restrictions meant that their reserve side had to be fielded against Darwen (near Blackburn). When it was decided to found The Football League for the 1888-89 season, Burnley were among the 12 founders of that competition. 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. 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). 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. 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.

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 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. 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. 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. 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. 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). After a tense season in which Spurs and Wolves were the other main protagonists in the chase for the league title, Burnley clinched the championship at Maine Road, Manchester with a 2-1 victory on May 2, 1960 with goals from Brian Pilkington and Trevor Meredith. Although they had been in contention all season, Burnley had never led the table until this last match was played out. 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. 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. 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. The following season the club achieved 10th place (despite Dobson being sold to Everton early in that season) but were victims of one the great FA Cup shocks of all time when Wimbledon, then in the Southern League, beat Burnley 1-0 at Turf Moor. 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. 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. Managerial changes continued to be made in an unsuccessful search for success; Miller was replaced by Frank Casper in early 1983, he by John Bond before the 1983-84 season and Bond himself by John Benson a season later. Benson was in charge when Burnley were relegated to the fourth level of English football for the first time ever at the end of the 1984-85 season. 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'. For the 1986-87 season, the Football League had decided to introduce automatic relegation and promotion between the Fourth Division and the Conference league, the top tier of non-league football. 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. 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. A 2-1 win, with goals from Neil Grewcock and Ian Britton, was enough to keep Burnley in Division Four, although even that achievement still relied on a loss by Lincoln City in their last game of the season. Brian Miller, born January 19, 1937 in Hapton, England is a former professional footballer and England international who played as a wing back. ...

The recovery begins - 1987-2004 In May 1988, Burnley were back at Wembley; this time to play Wolves in the final of the Sherpa Van Trophy. 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. 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. Chris Waddle was manager in that season, but his departure and the appointment of Stan Ternent that summer saw the club start to make further progress. In 1999-2000 they finished Division Two runners-up and gained promotion to Division One (now the Championship), where they have remained since. For the next two seasons, Burnley emerged as serious contenders for a promotion play-off place. However, by 2002-03 the side's form had declined despite a good FA Cup run, and conceded goals at an alarming rate. This was repeated the following season and in June 2004, Ternent's six-year reign as manager came to an end and Steve Cotterill was appointed as manager of the club.

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. The winless streak was finally broken on 3 April, as Burnley beat Plymouth Argyle 4-0 at Turf Moor and a run of good form thereafter saw Burnley finish comfortably above the relegation places and ensure they would remain in the Championship for the 2007-08 season.
