History
The club was founded in 1882 when the Rugby Club Burnley Rovers change sport from rugby to football and become Burnley Football Club.
Burnley would win the Football League the 1920-21 season five points ahead of Manchester City. It was the first top league trophy for the club. They would be number one again the 1959-60 season and qualify for the European Cup. After defeating Reims in the first round of the 1960-61 edition of the competition, Burnely would fall against Hamburger in the next round.
Besides from two Football League titles, Burnley is one of the most successful teams in the
Lancashire Senior Cup with more than ten titles (the first in 1890).
