Team history

1878- 1902: the predecessor of Manchester United

Manchester United Football Club was founded in 1878, when its name was Newton Heath LYR (LYR is short for Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company).

Newton Heath is the name of an ordinary railway station in Britain.

Workers on the construction site release their enthusiasm for football by competing with teams from other departments or other railway companies. They never thought that their team would occupy a place in English football and even international football matches in the future and become one of the top giants in the world. However, from the day this team was founded, it was doomed that Manchester United's style of play was an offensive football that emphasized teamwork and was full of * * *.

1888 when the Football Association was founded, the members who founded Newton Heath felt that they were not worthy to form the Football Association with Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End.

Newton Heath didn't join the Football Association until 1892.

1902- 1909: the official birth and early glory of Manchester United

The economic situation of Newton Heath's team was relatively bad. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the team was in an unsustainable predicament.

At this time, a local winery owner named john henry Davies saved the team.

Davis decided to inject capital into the club, which enabled him to get some benefits from the management of the team.

Since then, the number of teams has changed, including Manchester Central, Manchester Celtics and so on.

Manchester United, a name that became famous in the world football in the future, was officially born in 4/5 of 1902.

The important person who entered Manchester United after Davis was Ernest Magna.

Magnar became the club secretary on 1903. Today, he is recognized as the first manager of the club.

His team includes newly signed goalkeeper Harry Moguel and striker Charlie sagar.

The team won the third place in the second division for two consecutive seasons, 1903- 1904 and 1905. The following season, 1905- 1906, was one of the most brilliant early seasons of Manchester United. Dick Duckworth is the vanguard of the team.

And more importantly, the team can stand out from the second division and finally become the first division after playing in the football league 12 years.

To celebrate the victory, Magna hired billy meredith from rival Manchester City.

Meredith, nicknamed the Welsh Wizards, can be said to be the original star of Manchester United, but at that time he was involved in a bribery case in Manchester City. Because of this, it seems destined that many Manchester United superstars will be shrouded in unique personalities that other football superstars do not have in the future.

The joining of this excellent winger has greatly boosted the morale of Manchester United. 1907- 1908 season, meredith helped Sandy Turnbull score again and again, and finally the team won the first league championship in history.

As the league champion, Manchester United participated in the Charity Shield Cup 1908 for the first time. In the match, Jimmy Turnbull, whose surname is the same as Sandy Turnbull, scored a hat trick to help Manchester United beat FA Cup champion Queens Park Rangers 4-0 and win the Charity Shield.

The club's third trophy is 1909 FA Cup. That year, Manchester United overcame many difficulties and finally beat Bristol City with 1-0 with Sandy Turnbull's goal in the final.

1910-1919: Early years in Old Trafford.

Manchester United moved to Old Trafford in the season of 1909- 19 10. Since then, Old Trafford has entered the history of football as an eternal term.

The land of the stadium belongs to John? Henry. The Manchester liquor company under Davis' name bought it and subletted it to Manchester United Club.

The construction of the stadium began at 1908. 19 10 After the stadium was completed, Manchester United moved, bid farewell to Bank Street and entered Old Trafford.

Manchester United's first game at Old Trafford was against visiting Liverpool on February 6, 2000. To the regret of Manchester United fans, Manchester United lost 3-4, but the Old Trafford Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 people, was packed.

Just a few days ago, a storm blew down the old wooden stand of Manchester United's hometown in Bank Street. This may indicate that Manchester United is more suitable to play at Old Trafford, and Manchester United needs such a new home more. Destined that the dream theater will be born in the future!

1910-11season, Manchester United won the league title again after playing the whole season for the first time at Old Trafford.

But it is not easy for Manchester United to win the game.

Until the last day of the league, Sunderland was beaten 5-/kloc-0 at home, and the overall situation was finally locked.

In this game, Harold? Harold hales won two dollars.

House is by no means the only goal hero in the team's second championship.

Another goal hero of Manchester United is violent and exaggerated striker Enoch? Enoch West, nicknamed "the wooden stick", scored 19 goals that season.

That year, Manchester United also won the Charity Shield Cup. In the game, Manchester United beat swinton Town 8-4, and House shone brilliantly, scoring six goals alone.

In the following season,191-1912, Manchester United failed to defend its title and fell to 13, which disappointed the fans.

Magna, the club secretary and head coach, can't stand people's accusations. He resigned as head coach and joined Manchester City, Manchester United's city rival.

The club had a hard time finding James, then president of the Football Association? John? James john bentley succeeded Magna.

Under Bentley's leadership, Manchester United rose to fourth place in the1912-1913 season.

1913-1914 season, Manchester United experienced a painful transition period, will the club change Charlie? Roberts and Alex? Bell was sold to oldham and Blackburn respectively.

The team's ranking in the league slipped to 14, while West was the top scorer for the third consecutive season.

1914-1915 season, the club made a major reform in the management of the team.

1965438+In February, 2004, the club decided for the first time that both the club secretary and the head coach of the team should serve concurrently.

As a result, Bentley became the full-time secretary of the club, and John? Robson is in charge of team management and player selection.

Manchester United's impressive performance in 1900- 19 10 has become a shadow that Robson's team can't walk out of. 1909 cup champion, only George? Stakhi, Billy? Meredith and Sandy. Turnbull continues to play for Manchester United.

So the fate of Manchester United this season can be imagined. Manchester United struggled and were relegated by one point.

However, Manchester City, led by Magna, finished fifth in the league, 0/3 places ahead of Manchester United/KLOC, which is equivalent to adding a handful of salt to Manchester United's wounds.

Before Manchester United could plan how to rally, a world war broke out, people left football behind, the football league was forced to be interrupted, and the club had to play regionals.

In the next four seasons, Manchester United participated in the football championship held in Lancashire. Teams of all levels and types participated, but Manchester United did not achieve satisfactory results in these irregular games.

To make matters worse, Enoch of Manchester United? West and Sandy? Turnbull's gambling was exposed and they were banned for life.

Sandy. Turnbull later joined a team of football players under the British in World War I, and then bid farewell to the stadium and went to the battlefield.

Regrettably, Turnbull was killed in France in May 19 17.

At the beginning of the century, great changes have taken place in the heroes who created glory for the club.

1920- 1929: the bumpy course of Manchester United in the early post-war period

The smoke of World War I is gone.

On August 30th, 2009, 19 1965438, Manchester United returned to the league after a four-year absence, and played against Derbyshire in the first game. Except for the two old players in the season of1914-1965438, all of them are new faces.

Billy? Merediz is still at Old Trafford, but he is a dying hero of Manchester United.

19 19- 1920 season, he only played 19 times, and the team ranked only 12 in the league.

Joe? Joe spence became a rookie of Manchester United, and he became the team's top scorer with a league goal of 14.

In the following season (1920-2 1), he and another teammate became the top scorer of the team, but the number of goals was reduced by half, and the ranking of the whole team dropped to 13.

At this time, team coach Robson left the club and was replaced by John? John chapman.

Chapman, after Bentley, became another powerful figure in the history of Manchester United who also served as the club secretary and head coach.

At the same time, the team's old owner Magna and his Manchester City team moved into the new gymnasium on the main road, which made headlines in local newspapers.

Magnus didn't care about meredith's age, so he recruited him to Manchester City.

Maybe it's not a coincidence. In the first season when meredith left, that is, the season of1921-kloc-0/922, Manchester United won only 8 of 42 games, and was relegated to the second division, which was the first time that Manchester United was in trouble in the top English league.

Chapman led Manchester United in the second division, and there were no stars in the team. They lost in the first division twice in a row (1923- 1924 season, 1924- 1925 season).

Until the end of the season, 1924- 1925 successfully advanced.

Manchester United ranked ninth in the first division of the 1925- 1926 season, and their position in the first division was thus stable.

Manchester United did well in this season's FA Cup, but lost 3-0 to Manchester City at Bramall Lane and stopped the semi-final.

But Manchester City's luck seems to have come to an end. They lost to Bolton in the final and were relegated to the second division.

But Manchester United supporters can't see Manchester City's jokes yet.

Because the new season has only started for two months, Manchester United's trouble is coming.

The Football Association announced Chapman's dismissal, which took effect immediately.

Helpless, the club had to let the team winger Clarence start? Hilditch took over as a player and head coach, and he was also looking for a long-term replacement for Robson.

But Clarence himself didn't want to play, so the performance of the whole team was deeply affected.

Chapman's official successor-Herbert? Herbert Balet-The end of the season is here.

Manchester United fans still remember that Bamlet was the referee in charge of the FA Cup 1/4 finals between Manchester United and Burnley.

At that time, the game was played in heavy snow, and Manchester United fell behind their opponents by 0-/kloc-0, but Ban Laite cancelled the game because of the cold. In the replay, Manchester United finally won the FA Cup, and its indomitable fighting spirit was gradually reflected in the early days of the top leagues in England.

But unfortunately, as the head coach of Manchester United, Bamlet has never brought victory to the team.

The team's ranking in the first division went from bad to worse. In the season of 1926- 1927, it fell to 15, and in the season of 1927- 1928, it slipped to 18, only to1928.

Joe? Although Spencer scored many goals, it failed to save Manchester United's decline.

1930- 1939: Manchester United's darkest years

The decline of Manchester United from twenties to thirties, 1929- 1930 season ended, and Manchester United ranked seventeenth. All Manchester United fans are worried about the fate of the team.

At the beginning of the new league, the most worrying thing for fans happened. Manchester United lost 12 games in an unprecedented row. The league didn't start until 1 1 month. Manchester United beat Birmingham City 2-0 at home.

1930- 193 1 season, Manchester United lost 27 of 42 games, and the team's relegation made Bamlet leave.

Club secretary Walter? Walter Crickmer took over the team affairs.

However, the performance of the team did not change immediately.

At this moment, the patience of team supporters is being severely tested, and many fans can't stand it.

Only a few thousand people took part in the first game of the league, and as the game continued, the situation deteriorated.

By June+February of 65438, the club had no money to pay the players' salaries, and the team was in danger of bankruptcy.

The road to Manchester United is endless.

In times of crisis, James? James Gibson became the savior of the club.

The military uniform manufacturer paid the players' salaries at a cost of 30 thousand pounds, which made the club run again.

Gibson appointed Scott? Scott Duncan is the new head coach of the team.

Gibson gave Duncan a lot of money, but Duncan did not make good use of it.

The situation of Manchester United continued to deteriorate during Duncan's administration until the end of the last game of the league.

In that game, Manchester United relied on Tom? Tom Manley and Jack? Jack Cape beat his opponent Millwall 2-0 with only one goal.

Manchester United did not return to the first division in the 1934- 1935 season, ranking fifth. 1935- 1936 season, Manchester United won the first trophy in the 1930s.

Manchester United remained unbeaten in the last 19 games of the season, relying on Manley and George? Ji mutch's goal defeated Berry 3-2 and won the second division championship.

Manchester United's performance in the latter part of the second division seems to indicate that the team will have a good performance after returning to the first division, but it was not until Christmas that Manchester United won four victories.

Winning only 10 games in a season means relegation, and in sharp contrast to Manchester United, Manchester City, a brother in the same city, won the first-division championship this season.

Among the players demoted with Manchester United is the star Walter? Winterbottom, later head coach of English team 16 years, was knighted.

After a year's campaign in the second division, Manchester United successfully advanced, but after 1937- 1938 reopened the first division, Manchester United's performance was still wavering.

One of the highlights of Manchester United's second division under Duncan and Crickemeyer is Johnny? Johnny Carey stood out and became one of the best defenders in football history. This player may be one of the few famous stars in Manchester United's early days.

In the new round of Serie A, Kerry made 32 appearances and scored 6 goals, helping Manchester United avoid relegation with a ranking of 14.

This time, it's Manchester City's turn to be relegated.

However, Manchester United fans will not be happy for long. When World War II broke out, the Football League was once again forced to take a truce, which lasted for several years.

1940- 1949: the recovery of giants

From 1939 to 1946, European countries were busy with World War II. In the meantime, football was put aside.

However, even if the league is in a state of truce, Old Trafford Stadium is still the focus of attention. In March 194 1, Old Trafford was attacked by the Germans.

The stadium stands, players' dressing rooms and club offices were blown up in the air raid, which was the first extremely heavy blow to Old Trafford.

But a few years later, people found happiness in this famous stadium.

What brings joy to everyone is the mythical legend of Manchester United club, Matt? Busby.

Now it seems that Sir Busby is the most important person in Manchester United's history.

Busby played for Manchester City and Liverpool. During World War II, he served in the 9th Battalion of the Royal Liverpool Corps.

In the military camp, he showed excellent leadership and attracted the attention of Manchester United Club.

Busby 1945 joined Manchester United on a five-year contract.

At that time, he never imagined that he would stay at Manchester United for 25 years and become the head of the club.

Busby showed strong style as soon as he took office. He changed the position of several important players.

Busby Will Jimmy? Jimmy Delaney, Stan? Stan Pulsen, Jack? Jack Rowley, Charlie? Charlie Mitten and Johnny? Johnny Morris teamed up to create the famous "Five Musketeers" lineup on Manchester United's front line.

Busby's most important contribution to Manchester United is that he introduced excellent coaches to the team.

Matt met Jimmy during World War II? Jimmy murphy.

Busby thinks Murphy will be his golden partner.

Together, the two of them have shaped Manchester United into a strong team in world football. It was at this time that Manchester United embarked on a journey of football giants.

The first step of Busby and Murphy's success is to make the team have the strength to win the league championship in domestic competitions.

They made remarkable achievements in their first effort.

1946- 1947 season, that is, the first round of first division after world war ii, Manchester United followed Liverpool to become the runner-up in the league.

This is Manchester United's best ranking in the league in 36 years.

Another thing that makes fans happy is that Manchester United's reserve team won the championship in this season's (central) league.

1948, Busby led a team of local young players and big-name stars to beat Stanley? Stanley Matthews, Stan? Martzen and Harry? Harry johnston's Blackpool team won the first trophy of the newly formed Manchester United team.

It has been 39 years since the club 1909 won the FA Cup.

1948 The victory of the FA Cup is also the first important championship won by Manchester United since 19 1 1 won the league title.

But what about Matt? For the new Manchester United team led by Busby, regaining the league title is their primary goal.

In the first five years after Busby took charge of Manchester United, Manchester United won the second place in the league four times and won the first place in the 1949- 1950 season.

Manchester United's wonderful performance in the championship battle has made the fans who were once disheartened turn back. 1948- 1949 season, more than one million fans came to the scene to cheer for Manchester United. Those * * * fans returned to Old Trafford to cheer for Manchester United, and their * * * was slowly released.

The team quickly rewarded the enthusiasm of the fans with victory.
