Burnley FC

Burnley FC are one of English football's founding clubs, playing at Turf Moor, one of the oldest continuously used football grounds in the world. Known as the Clarets, Burnley built a reputation in recent years for gritty, well-drilled football that has repeatedly earned the small Lancashire club promotion to the Premier League. The tight, old-fashioned atmosphere at Turf Moor remains a throwback to English football's earliest days, and the club's frequent yo-yoing between divisions reflects a proud fight to compete above its size.

Founded in 1882, Burnley was one of the twelve founder members of the Football League in 1888-89. The club enjoyed two league title triumphs, winning the First Division championship in 1920-21 and again in 1959-60, and lifted the FA Cup in 1914. Burnley has spent much of its more recent history moving between the Premier League and Championship, using a well-organized, resilient style to repeatedly punch its way back into England's top flight.
