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 offensive football that emphasized team and passion.

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 game, 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 was bought by Manchester Liquor Company in the name of john henry Davies and subletted 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. Harold Halse won two yuan in this game. House is by no means the only goal hero in the team's second championship. Another goal hero of Manchester United is enoch West, a violent and exaggerated striker. The guy nicknamed "the wooden stick" scored 65,438+09 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 john bentley, then president of the Football Association, to replace Magna. Under Bentley's leadership, Manchester United rose to fourth place in the1912-1913 season.

1913-1914 season, Manchester United experienced a painful transition, and the club sold Charlie Roberts and Alex Bell 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 was responsible for the management of the team and the selection of players.

Manchester United's impressive performance in 1900- 19 10 has become a shadow that Robson's team can't walk out of. 1909 Cup winners, only George stucky, billy meredith and Sandy Turnbull remain at 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 West and Sandy Turnbull of Manchester United were involved in gambling, and they were banned for life. Sandy Turnbull later joined a football team 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 meredith 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 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, the team coach Robson left the club and was replaced by 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 Hilditch take over as the player and head coach, while 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.

Herbert Bamlett, Chapman's official successor, arrived at the end of this season. 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. 1926- 1927 season fell to 15, 1927- 1928 season fell to 18, only to1928-although Joe-

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. Walter Crickmer, the club secretary, took over the affairs of the team. 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. James Gibson became the savior of the club in times of crisis. The military uniform manufacturer paid the players' salaries at a cost of 30 thousand pounds, which made the club run again. Gibson appointed scott Duncan as 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 beat rival Millwall 2-0 with goals from Tom Manley and Jack Cape. 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 65,438+09 games of this season, and won the second-division championship at Jigger Lane with goals from Manley and George mutch.

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 who were demoted with Manchester United, there was the star Walter Winterbottom, who later became the head coach of the English team with a score of 16 and 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.

Under the leadership of Duncan and Krigmer, one of the highlights of Manchester United's Serie B was the appearance of Johnny Carey, who was later regarded as 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.

It is Matthew Busby, the mythical legend of Manchester United Club, who brings joy to everyone. 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 connected Jimmy Delaney, Stan Poursin, Jack Raleigh, Charlie Mitten and Johnny Morris in series to form Manchester United's famous "Five Musketeers" lineup.

Busby's most important contribution to Manchester United is that he introduced excellent coaches to the team. Matt met jimmy murphy during World War II. 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 composed of local young players and big-name stars, defeated Blackpool led by Stanley Matthews, Stan mortensen and harry johnston in the FA Cup final, and won the first trophy of the new 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 for the new Manchester United team led by Matthew 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 originally disheartened fans turn back. 1948- 1949 season, more than one million fans came to the scene to cheer for Manchester United. Those enthusiastic fans returned to Old Trafford to cheer for Manchester United, and the passion of Manchester United fans was slowly released. The team quickly rewarded the enthusiasm of the fans with victory.

1950- 1959: the growth of giants, the dream theater is performing wonderful scenes, the saddest time in Manchester United's history.

The first post-war Manchester United team led by matthew busby began an uneven journey in the early 1950s. Internal disputes within the team led to the split of the 1948 FA Cup champion. Johnny Morris transferred to Derbyshire, while Charlie Milton went to Colombia. Some supporters of Manchester United are worried that the team will lose high-level stars, but those who trust Busby soon find that he has not let them down.

Among the young players recruited and trained by Manchester United in the late 1940s, some outstanding players stood out. Among these young people, Jackie Blanchflower and roger byrne were the first to make their mark, and the newspaper affectionately called them "children". They helped the team win back the league championship trophy after a 40-year absence just after their debut in the1951-kloc-0/952 season. The team was crowned, and Bourne, who was only 2 1 year old, played 24 games in the league. In the last six games, he played winger and scored seven goals. After that, he returned to the customary left-back position and served as Manchester United captain for four years from February 1954.

At this time, several young graduates from Busby Football School joined the team. Manchester United's youth training system has begun to show its power, and the dream theater is performing wonderful scenes. In the two seasons of 1955- 1956 and 1956- 1957, Bourne, as the captain of this amazing young team in Manchester United, lifted the league title twice. After the FA Youth Cup, eddie colman, mark jones and david pegg all joined the first team. It is particularly worth mentioning that Manchester United Youth Team is the champion of five consecutive FA Youth Cups since 1953.

The Manchester United manager is also happy to go to the transfer market to find new players. 1953 In March, Manchester United bought scoring expert tommy taylor from barnsley for 29,999. This is a good deal because Taylor keeps scoring goals for Manchester United and England. Another young man who has to be mentioned in the history of Manchester United football is duncan edwards. This young man from Dudley is strong, talented, skilled and extremely stable. Busby recruited him into the first team very early. 1In April, 953, Duncan, who was only 16 years old 185 days old, went into battle in the league, and he also became the youngest player in the history of Teacher A.

Busby's children have made great achievements, and their masterpiece is the classic game against Arsenal at Highbury in February 1958. The Red Devils and Arsenal staged a wonderful showdown in front of 63,578 spectators, and the whole game was thrilling. Manchester United won 5-4. Goals for Manchester United were scored by Edwards, Taylor, Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viole. Among them, Taylor got two yuan. But sadly, this classic battle has become the swan song of this Manchester United youth team in Britain. After defeating Arsenal, Manchester United flew from Highbury to Europe to challenge Red Star Belgrade, after their home draw with Red Star. After this battle, Manchester United won with a total score of 5-4. However, the air crash of the team on the way back to China made Manchester United fans fall from the peak of joy to the deep valley of sadness in a short time.

1February 6, 958, Manchester United drew 3-3 with Red Star Belgrade, Yugoslavia, and won the Champions League semi-final with a total score of 5-4. When Manchester United players' passenger planes refueled in Munich, the most painful natural tragedy in football history happened. The plane crashed after taking off again, and the Munich air crash made Manchester United's most popular superstar fly to the sky. Twenty-two people were killed in the air crash, including seven Manchester United players. They are Bowen, Coleman, Jones, Peg, Taylor, Geoff Bent and Liam Willand. Duncan edwards, a young football genius, died in a German hospital after 15 days failed to treat injuries. He was the eighth victim of the team's air crash.

1960- 1969: King arrival, Red Devils conquer Europe.

Matthew Busby built the greatest English team ever, but now he has to start all over again. The Munich air crash not only took away Manchester United's best players, but also took away several peerless talents in football. However, a great coach will not remain unknown for a long time. Once he comes back from injury, he will return to the Jianghu with a new army, sweeping football with the momentum of sturm und drang.

Dennis violet is the leader of this new army. He survived and scored 32 goals in the following season, breaking the season goal record set by teammate Jack Raleigh. This season, Manchester United scored 102 goals, but because they conceded too many goals, they only ranked seventh in the league. Like violette, Bill Folques and Bobby Charlton survived. They stand out from Manchester United's youth team and shine brilliantly at Old Trafford. They all set goals records for the club and the national team. Nobby stiles had a similar experience with them. He also worked out in the youth team before entering the first team. Denis law moved from Turin to Manchester United for a record 1 15000.

Manchester United was unstable in the early 1960s, but with the gradual addition of newcomers, Manchester United went all out to reach the FA Cup final in the season of 1962- 1963. The final was held at Wembley Stadium. Matthew Busby led the new Manchester United team to beat leicester city 3-/kloc-0. David Herd scored two goals, and denis law also contributed a goal for the team.

After the war broke out in the new season, Manchester United attacked the league title with the fighting spirit of winning the FA Cup, but unfortunately fell short and failed to reach the top. Liverpool beat Manchester United twice at home and away, and finally they won the league title by four points. For Manchester United, another highlight of the 1962- 1963 season was the joining of legendary star george best, who wore the Red Devils' No.7 shirt for the first time. The young man from Belfast became the first superstar in football history. His surname means "the best" in English, and the so-called skill is as good as its name. His incredible skills, amazing running speed and extraordinary ball control ability dazzled his opponents. His only regret was that he couldn't stir up the ball on the goal line and then header it. His performance fascinated fans, and his movie star-like appearance made him a popular lover. It is best to give Manchester United No.7 extraordinary significance, and the Red Devils No.7 will be a top star from now on.

1964- 1965 season, the three musketeers of Manchester United, composed of Best, denis law and Bobby Charlton, led the team to create history. In the league, they beat Leeds United by winning and won the championship; At the same time, Manchester United reached the semi-finals of the European Expo Cup and the FA Cup. Denis law won the title of European Footballer of the Year with his many victories in the competition.

After winning the championship, Manchester United should have finished running in and become popular, but a group of young superstars were carried away by the victory. As a result, they only ranked fourth in the league in the 1965- 1966 season and handed over the championship trophy they just won to Liverpool. In the FA Cup and Champions League, Manchester United stopped in the semi-finals. By the end of the season, Manchester United had achieved nothing. The highlight of that year was that they beat Portugal Benfica 5-/Kloc-0-0 in the quarterfinals of the European Cup. In this game, Best is in a very brave and keen state.

A year later, Manchester United regained the league title, and denis law scored 23 goals in 36 games. After the coronation of the league, Manchester United was able to participate in the European Champions Cup in 1967- 1968 season. In this top European football match, Manchester United eliminated Irish (Irish), Yugoslav FK Sarajevo (FK Sarajevo), Polish Gollnick Za bourzeix and Spanish Real Madrid. The final of the Champions League was held at Wembley Stadium. Against the Red Devils Manchester United, Benfica, led by Sebbio, performed well in the final. Manchester United won the first prize by Charlton, but Jaime Graca of Benfica stubbornly equalized the score and took the game into extra time. In overtime, Best, Brian Kidd and Charlton dominated the game for half an hour. They each scored a goal to help Manchester United beat Benfica 4-/Kloc-0, becoming the Wang Zhongwang of European football, winning the European Cup back to Old Trafford for the first time in history, and opening a new era for Manchester United. 1958, Matthew Busby witnessed the dream team he created in the air crash. Ten years later, he led the reconstructed Manchester United to create miracles again. When he won the cup, Busby raised his glass eight degrees and shouted for the Manchester United genius who was killed in the Munich air crash. This photo touched the whole football.
