The club, founded in 1928, initially played in the Irish League, the domestic league in Northern Ireland, and won a title in 1964–65. In 1971, security concerns related to unrest in Northern Ireland meant matches could not be played at the Brandywell. The team played "home" fixtures 30 miles away in Coleraine. Security forces withdrew their objections to the use of the Brandywell the following year, but in the face of insistence from the Irish League that the unsustainable arrangement continue, the club withdrew from the league. After 13 years in junior football, they joined the League of Ireland's new First Division for 1985–86. Derry won the First Division title and achieved promotion to the Premier Division in 1987, and have remained there since.

History

Main article: Derry City F.C. This article covers the History of Derry City Football Club, from the clubs early days in the Irish League, through the wilderness years and into the present-day as the club competes in the League of Ireland. ...

Founding and the Irish League era

Founded in 1928, the club decided against using the official title of the city — Londonderry — in their name,^[3] while also deciding against continuing the name of the city's previous main club, Derry Celtic, so as to be more inclusive to all football fans in the city.^[4]^[5]^[6] Derry City were granted entry into the Irish League in 1929 as professionals and were given permission by the Londonderry Corporation to use the municipal Brandywell Stadium.^[4] The club's first significant success came in 1935 when they lifted the City Cup.^[7] They repeated the feat in 1937, but did not win another major trophy until 1949, when they beat Glentoran to win their first Irish Cup.^[8] They won the Irish Cup for a second time in 1954, beating Glentoran again,^[9] and for a third time in 1964 — that year also winning the Gold Cup — despite the club's conversion to part-time status after the abolishment of the maximum wage in 1961. This led to the club's first entry into European competition, in the 1964–65 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, in which they were beaten by Steaua Bucharest 5–0 on aggregate.^[10] The club won the 1964–65 Irish League and subsequently became the first Irish League team to win a European tie over two legs, beating FK Lyn 8–6 on aggregate in the 1965–66 European Cup.^[11] Derry did not complete the next round, as the Irish Football Association (IFA) declared their ground as not up to standard,^[4] even though a game had been played there during the previous round. Derry suspected sectarian motives,^[12] as they played in a mainly nationalist city and so had come to be supported largely by Catholics. The IFA, Belfast-based, was a cultural focal point of Protestant Northern Ireland and it was widely suspected that it would rather have been represented by a traditionally unionist team.^[13]^[14] Relations between the club and IFA quickly deteriorated.^[15] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

There had been no significant history of sectarian difficulties at matches in the first 40 years of the club's history, but in 1969 the Civil Rights campaign against Northern Ireland's government disintegrated into communal violence, ushering in 30 years of the Troubles.^[16] Despite the social and political unrest, Derry still managed to perform, reaching the Irish Cup final in 1971, in which they were beaten 3–0 by Distillery.^[17] As the republican locality surrounding the Brandywell saw some of the worst violence, numerous unionist-supported clubs were reluctant to play there. The Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) ruled the zone unsafe for fixtures and with the use of no other local ground feasible, Derry had to travel to the majority unionist town of Coleraine, over 30 miles away, to play their "home" games at the Showgrounds. This situation lasted from September 1971 until October 1972 when, faced with dwindling crowds (most Derry fans were unwilling to travel to Coleraine due to the political situation and the longer journey) and dire finances, the club formally requested permission to return to the Brandywell. Despite a new assessment by the security forces concluding that the Brandywell was no longer any more dangerous than any other league ground and a lifting of the security ban, football rivalies were seen as echoing of the wider sectarian nature of Northern Irish society and Derry's proposal fell by one vote at the hands of their fellow Irish League teams.^[16] Continuing without a ground was seen as unsustainable and on Friday 13 October 1972 Derry withdrew from the league amidst a perception that they were effectively forced out while a complex of victimisation and marginalisation developed within the nationalist community behind the club.^[18]^[19]^[4] The Civil Rights Mural - The Beginning.[1] The Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association was an organisation which campaigned for civil rights in Northern Ireland during the late 1960s and early 1970s. ...

The club continued as a junior team during the 13-year long "wilderness years", playing in the local Saturday morning league, and sought re-admission to the Irish League.^[18] Each time, the club nominated the Brandywell as its chosen home-ground but the Irish League refused re-admission. Suspecting refusal was driven by sectarianism,^[12] and believing they would never gain re-admission, Derry turned their attentions elsewhere.^[16] The wilderness years was a period of time between 1972 and 1985 when the city of Derry, Northern Ireland had been without a senior footballing side participating in a senior national league. ...

Entry into the League of Ireland

Derry applied to join the reorganised Football League of Ireland (the league in the Republic of Ireland) in 1985 with the Brandywell as their home. The move required special dispensation from the IFA and FIFA, but eventually Derry were admitted to the league's new First Division for 1985, joining as semi-professionals.^[4] As their stadium was situated in a staunchly republican area once known as "Free Derry", with a history of scepticism towards the RUC in the local community,^[16] Derry received special permission from UEFA to steward their own games. The presence of the RUC was regarded as more likely to provoke trouble than help prevent it.^[20] The policy continues today and although effective, has, along with the participation in the Republic's league, confirmed Derry's identity as a nationalist club, alienating many original or potential Protestant supporters.^[16] Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Derry's first match in the new system was a 3–1 League Cup win over Home Farm of Dublin at the Brandywell on 8 September 1985.^[21] The return of senior football to Derry attracted large crowds.^[4] Later in the season, after turning professional, they won the League of Ireland First Division Shield with a 6–1 aggregate victory over Longford Town.^[22] The following year — 1987 — Derry won the First Division and promotion to the Premier Division,^[23] staying there since. The club reached the 1988 FAI Cup final, but lost to Dundalk. The next season — 1988–89 — the club were financially forced to revert to semi-professional status but Jim McLaughlin's side managed to win a treble; the league, the League Cup and the FAI Cup.

Since 1989, Derry have won the Premier Division once — in 1996–97 — but have been runners-up on three occasions.

However, the club has also been beset by financial problems and was on the verge of bankruptcy due to an unpaid tax bill in 2000. An extensive fund-raising effort was undertaken by local celebrities and the city's people to save the club from extinction.^[25] Derry played high-profile friendlies against clubs such as Celtic,^[26] Manchester United,^[27] Barcelona^[28] and Real Madrid^[29] to raise extra money. This helped keep the club in operation, but difficulties remained and Derry nearly lost their Premier Division place in 2003 when they finished ninth and had to contest a two-legged relegation-promotion play-off with local rivals, Finn Harps of Donegal. However, Derry won the game 2–1 on aggregate after extra-time at the Brandywell and remained in the top-flight, avoiding further damage.^[30] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 Ã— 533 pixelsFull resolution (3456 Ã— 2304 pixels, file size: 4. ...

Colours and crests

Derry City wore claret and blue jerseys with white shorts for their first season — 1929–30.^[41] The colours lasted until 1932, when white jersies with black shorts were adopted.^[4] This style was replaced by the now-traditional red and white "candystripes" with black shorts in 1934. The style derived from Sheffield United, who wore the pattern and, specifically, Billy Gillespie,^[4] a native of nearby Donegal.^[42] He played for Sheffield United from 1913 until 1932, captaining them to a 1925 FA Cup win. The club's most capped player with 25 appearances for Ireland,^[42] he was held in such high regard in his home country that when he left Sheffield United in 1932 to become Derry's player-manager, they changed their strip within two years in appreciation of his career at Sheffield United.^[41] This article documents numerous traditions of Derry City Football Club, including the culture associated with and surrounding the club, and its supporters. ...

Derry have worn red and white stripes since, except from 1956 to 1962, when the club's players wore amber and black.^[4] Jerseys since 1962 have had "candystripes" of varying thickness. The kit features white socks — originally black socks were used and occasionally red if a clash with the opposition occurred. Similarly, white shorts were adopted for a spell in the early 1970s and for 1985.^[41] They are still sometimes worn if a clash occurs, as are black socks. Away jerseys have varied in colour from white, to navy and green stripes, to yellow, to white and light-blue stripes, and to black.^[43]

Derry have had various kit suppliers, including Adidas,^[44] Avec,^[45] Erreà, Fila, Le Coq Sportif,^[46] Matchwinner,^[45] O'Neills,^[47] Spall and currently, Umbro.^[48] Commercial sponsorhip logos to appear on the shirt's front have included Northlands,^[48] Warwick Wallpapers,^[49] Fruit of the Loom,^[45] Smithwick's^[46] and AssetCo.

The club did not sport a crest on the club jersey throughout the Irish League years, nor for most of the first League of Ireland season. Instead, the coat of arms of the city appeared on club memorabilia such as scarves, hats and badges. The symbols on the arms are a skeleton, three-towered castle, red St. George's cross and sword. The sword and cross are devices of the City of London, and along with an Irish harp embedded within the cross, demonstrate the link between the two cities — the city's official name under UK law is Londonderry and the city itself was developed by the Honourable the Irish Society, a livery company of the City of London. The castle is thought to be an old local Norman keep built in 1305 by the de Burca clan.^[52] The skeleton is believed to be that of a knight of the same clan who was starved to death in the castle dungeons in 1332.^[53] This is accompanied by the Latin motto, "Vita, veritas, victoria", meaning "Life, truth, victory."

Plans of Derry City's to purchase a pitch fell through after their formation due to the tight time-scale between their birth in 1928 and the season's beginning in 1929 and so the Londonderry Corporation (now the Derry City Council) was approached for the use of the Brandywell which had been used for football up until the end of the 19th century.

Because of Northern Ireland's volatile political situation during the Troubles and security fears for Protestants and those of the unionist tradition visiting the mainly nationalist city of Derry, the Brandywell has not always been the home ground of Derry City. In 1970 and 1971, Derry had to play their "home" ties against Linfield at Windsor Park in Belfast — the home-ground of Linfield. From September 1971 until October 1972 Derry were forced to play all their "home" games at the Showgrounds in mainly Protestant Coleraine, over 30 miles away, as police ruled the republican Brandywell area as too unsafe for visiting unionists. The Brandywell did not see senior football for another 13 years as the Irish Football League upheld a ban on the stadium and Derry decided to leave the league as a result.^[16] Only greyhound meetings and junior football were held during this time.^[12] Derry's admission to the League of Ireland in 1985 saw a return of senior games.

Irish television has also featured the club.

^ Derry City had initially qualified for the qualifying rounds of the 2007–08 UEFA Cup by way of their 2006 FAI Cup win but took their position in the 2007–08 UEFA Champions League after the 2006 League of Ireland champions, Shelbourne opted out of competing. They feared they would fail to be awarded a licence to compete because of their financial problems and were worried that their participation would prove detrimental to the UEFA coefficient of the league as they had to release their whole first-team prior to the 2007 season and form a team of mainly youngsters.
