The Birth Of A Legend
It all started way back in the 1870’s when a group of railway workers decided to form a football club to play in on the weekends. They called the team The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Football Club but in 1878 renamed themselves Newton Heath. In the early 1890’s the Football League accepted their application to join the league and were placed in the First Division, as there was two divisions. They started indifferently as they lost their first game to Blackburn Rovers, the powerhouse of the 1890’s, 4-3 but a week later they beat Wolverhampton 10-1 to notch up their first ever victory. This victory is still a club record. In 1894 the club moved to Bank Street in Clayton because they were facing major financial problems but John H. Davies, a brewery director, was persuaded to put some money into the club therefore becoming the chairman and a director at the club. He decided changes were needed so he board renamed the club Manchester United.
