Bury

Bury Football Club is a dormant English association football club based in Bury, Greater Manchester, whose team last played in EFL League Two, the fourth tier of English football, during the 2018–19 season. Known as "The Shakers", the team play in white shirts and navy blue shorts. Gigg Lane, one of the world's oldest football grounds, has been the club's home venue since 1885. The club's location led to local derby games with numerous clubs and Bury has long-standing rivalries with near neighbours Bolton Wanderers, Oldham Athletic and Rochdale. Established in 1885, Bury were founder members of the Lancashire League in 1889, and were crowned champions in the 1890–91 and 1891–92 seasons, before being elected to The Football League (now known as the EFL) in 1894.

Bury won the Second Division title in 1894–95 and won their test match to secure promotion into the First Division. They remained in the top flight for 17 seasons, winning the FA Cup in 1900 with a 4–0 victory over Southampton and again in 1903 with a 6–0 win over Derby County. This remains a record winning margin in an FA Cup final, equalled only once, when Manchester City beat Watford in the 2019 final. They were relegated to the Second Division at the end of the 1911–12 season, before securing promotion again in 1923–24. Bury lost their top-flight status in 1928–29 and have not returned. They dropped into the third tier in 1956–57, before winning promotion as champions of the Third Division under the stewardship of Dave Russell in 1960–61. From 1967 to 1971 they were promoted once but, with three relegations, found themselves in the Fourth Division for the first time.

Bury won promotion at the end of the 1973–74 campaign and remained in the Third Division until 1979–80. They were in the fourth tier in September 1995 when Stan Ternent took over as team manager. He led them back to the second tier for the first time in 28 years after securing two consecutive promotions in 1995–96 and 1996–97 – winning promotion as champions in the latter
