Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.

The 1958 Munich air disaster claimed the lives of eight players. In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester United was the first English football club to win the European Cup. The current manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has won 37 major honours since he took over in November 1986

Manchester United has won the most trophies in English football, including a record 24 league titles, a record 11 FA Cups, 7 League Cups and 21 FA Community Shields. The club has also won three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 1998–99, the club won a "Treble" of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, an unprecedented feat for an English club.

Manchester United is one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world. As of July 2011, the club is number one in Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's 50 most valuable sports teams, valued at $1.86 billion. After being floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991, the club was purchased by Malcolm Glazer in May 2005 in a deal valuing the club at almost £800 million.

In June 2021 the club is valued at £610 million.

Early years

The club was a cricket club when it formed in 1820 as The Wednesday Cricket Club (named after the day of the week when they played their matches). A meeting on the evening of Wednesday 4 September 1867 at the Adelphi Hotel established a footballing side to keep the team together and fit during the winter months. They played their first match against The Mechanics on 19 October the same year.

In 1854 a public meeting was held at the hotel where it was announced that a cricket ground would be built on Bramall Lane. This ground was later used to host Sheffield Wednesday matches and eventually became the permanent home of Sheffield United.

It soon became apparent that football would come to eclipse the cricketing side of the club. On 1 February 1868, Wednesday played their first competitive football match as they entered the Cromwell Cup, a four-team competition for newly formed clubs. They went on to win the cup, beating the Garrick Club 1–0 after extra time in the final at Bramall Lane

Charles Clegg joined Wednesday in the 1870s, starting a relationship that would last the rest of his life and eventually lead to his becoming the club's chairman. He also became president and chairman of the Football Association and known as the "Napoleon of Football". Clegg played for England in the first-ever international match, against Scotland in November 1872, thereby becoming Wednesday's first international player. In 1876 they acquired Scot James Lang. Although he was not employed by the club, he was given a job by a member of the Sheffield Wednesday board that had no formal duties. He is now acknowledged as the first professional football player in England

The 1880s saw two major events that radically changed the face of the club. In 1882 the cricket and football clubs parted company; the cricket club ceased to exist in 1925. The football club turned professional in 1887 after pressure from players threatening to defect to other clubs. Sheffield Wednesday won their first game as a professional club against The Mechanics 3–0.

Professional football

The move to professionalism took the club from Bramall Lane, which had taken a share of the ticket revenue, to the new Olive Grove. In 1889 the club became founder members of the Football Alliance, of which they were the first champions in a season where they also reached the 1890 FA Cup Final, losing 6–1 to Blackburn Rovers at Kennington Oval, London. Despite finishing the following season bottom of the Alliance, they were eventually elected to the expanded Football League in 1892. They won the FA Cup for the first time in 1896, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 2–1 at Crystal Palace.

Due to an expansion of the local railway lines, the club was told that they would have to find a new ground for the 1899–1900 season. After a difficult search the club finally bought some land in the village of Owlerton, which at the time was several

miles outside the Sheffield city boundaries. Construction of a new stadium (now known as Hillsborough Stadium) was completed within months and the club was secured for the next century. In a strong decade Wednesday won the League twice in the1902–03 and 1903–04 seasons and the FA Cup again in 1907, beating Everton 2–1, again at Crystal Palace. After this the club went through a relatively fallow period for another two decades.

The club was almost relegated in the 1927–28 season, but with 17 points in the last 10 matches they pulled off a great escape, rising from bottom to 14th. Wednesday went on to win the League title the following season (1928–29), which started a run that saw the team finishing lower than third only once until 1936.

The period was topped off with the team winning the FA Cup for the third time in the club's history in 1935.

Name origins and nicknames

Sheffield Wednesday are the only English League club with a day of the week in their name. The club was initially a cricket club named The Wednesday Cricket Club after the day of the week on which they played their matches. The footballing side of the club was established to keep the team together and fit during the winter months.

The club was formerly known as "The Wednesday Football Club" until 1929, when the club was officially renamed "Sheffield Wednesday Football Club" under the stewardship of manager Robert Brown. The club is sometimes still referred to as simply 'The Wednesday'. However the name Sheffield Wednesday dates back as far as 1883: the former ground at Olive Grove had the name Sheffield Wednesday painted on the stand roof.

At the start of the 20th century, when a player presented them with an owl mascot to honour their stadium at Owlerton, adjacent to Hillsborough, the club became known as "The Owls".

Support

Sheffield Wednesday for many years has enjoyed a good turnout of supporters despite underachievement on the pitch, however match day attendances dropped slightly for the 2010/2011 season. Despite this, attendance was still high compared to other League One clubs, and even surpassed some Championship and Premier League clubs.

The Owls draw support from all areas of Sheffield, wider South Yorkshire, North Derbyshire & North Notts. Significant concentrations of support exist in the north of the city, areas such as Hillsborough, Stannington, Parson Cross, Ecclesfield, Chapeltown, Wisewood, and Stocksbridge in particular.

They continued the trend when returning to the Championship with the highest attendances in that division. At the 2005 playoff final Wednesday took over 42,000 fans to the Millennium Stadium,

which remains the highest number of supporters any football team has taken to the Millennium Stadium. The Owls have a healthy away following, in which they averaged over 1,700 on their travels in 2010/2011, nearly half as many as the rest of the leagues home attendances.

Famous supporters

The Owls have many famous fans from the world of sport and music including with former England Cricket Captain Michael Vaughan; Comedy actor and writer Michael Palin, who mentioned the Owls several times during his travel documentaries, lifting a trophy and shouting "Sheffield Wednesday!" on his Pole to Pole journey in 1991;[citation needed] Champion boxer Johnny Nelson; the Arctic Monkeys; Rivers Cuomo of Weezer; Jarvis Cocker from Pulp; Reverend and The Makers frontman John McClure, Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 & The Human League; Paul Carrack from Mike & the Mechanics and Ace (who recorded "Singing the Blues" for The Owls); and Rick Savage from Def Leppard;

There are a number of fans in the world of politics with former Home Secretary, David Blunkett, and former Labour Party Deputy Leader, Roy Hattersley, exchanging words in a disagreement over grant-maintained schools. "When socialists fall out, it is the Tories that rejoice. When Sheffield Wednesday supporters fall out, the Gods weep.", said Blunkett

One of their most famous fans is Paul Gregory. Known to many as "Tango" or "Tango Man" due to his similarity to a character appearing in advertisements for the eponymous soft drink in the 1990s. He is well known for taking his shirt off for every match as well as commuting from Wolverhampton for every game. He achieved national fame during the 1990s appearing on The Big Breakfast and The Sunday Show. Another famous Wednesday institution was the Wednesday Band, a brass band that played during matches. Although unpopular amongst many rival fans (and some home fans) they have released several records and have been invited to regularly attend England matches. They were often banned from away grounds and suffered the same fate at home until 22 March 2009, when the band returned to Hillsborough. The future of the band is unknown, their return was a success and now decisions have to be made at boardroom level to see if their position back on the Kop is long-term.

Chants and Songs

Sheffield wednesday have a wide range of chants which can be heard on match days, and have also had songs published on CD and Records. The most well known chant is probably "Hark now here, the wednesday sing, United ran away, and we will fight forever more, because of Boxing day", a song about the 1979 Boxing Day Massacare, or " I've never felt more like singing the blues, when Wednesday win, United lose, oh Wednesday, you've got me singing the bluse - Wack a blade - Wack a blade - Wack a blade", sung on days when wednesday have won their game, and united have lost theirs. Other chants include: Wondering Wednesday, Hi Ho Hi Ho we are the Wednesday boys, Wednesday till I die, Honoulu Wednesday, and We all hate leeds scum. The trade mark wednesday song is Barmy Army, a name which is today associated with the England Cricket Team, but actualy originated at Hillsborough Stadium. Over the years Wednesday have had several songs published, namely We are the Owls, We love you wednesday,in the 1980s and Shine on sheffield Wednesday, in 2009.

Well you wont believe it but we made it to the Premier league. We played Brighton in the first leg and lost 2-1 but it was vital we did not loose big, as i was very confidant we could over turn them at Hillsboroug.

The return leg we won 2 nil. It was a scrappy performance to be honest but we did what we need to.

In the Wembley trip we played Swansea and what was a even match we hap more in the spear head goals scores. We ran out 4-0 winners
