Manchester United Info

The club has produced some of the most historic, and recognizable names in football. Matt Busby, Bobby Charlton, Alex Ferguson, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Christiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, just to scratch the surface.

Manchester United are popularly known as The Red Devils, Man U, or Man Utd.

Manchester United Stadium

The home of the Red Devil’s is Old Trafford, and has been since 1910. The stadium has also been given the name, "The Theatre of Dreams," by Manchester United’s famous manager Sir Matt Busby. The stadium itself has had an intriguing history. At the beginning of World Ward II, it was used as a depot for the army, and football competition continued there just as before. Then, in December 1940, it was damaged by a German air raid. Play was temporary moved until the following March, when only a few days later it was bombed a second time, rendering it useless. Man U did not play anymore games at Old Trafford until it was repaired in 1949.

After years of rebuilding and renovation, Old Trafford has become biggest stadium of any English Premier League team, with 76,212 seats. Old Trafford is a 5-star rated, "Elite" UEFA stadium, meaning it meets the high standards of UEFA to hold the Champions League Final.

Man U’s history begins in 1878 when the club was formed, and known then as Newton Heath L&YR F.C., a worker’s football team from Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. In 1902 the team fell into financial turmoil, until a large investment by J.H. Davies, a local brewer, saved the club. They started fresh, with a new name: Manchester United.

Manchester Utd Manager

Sir Alex Ferguson is the current manager of Manchester United. Before his managing days, he was a striker with several professional teams throughout Scotland. His managing career began in 1974, at the relatively early at the age of 32. Ferguson earned ?40 a week for managing East Stirlingshire. From there he quickly moved up the ranks, joining more prestigious clubs. By 1985 he was chosen as manager of Scotland’s national team.

Fergie’s stint as Scotland’s manager was short lived, as he took over the managerial duties at Manchester United in 1986. It was a slow start, but soon, with Sir Alex at the helm, Man U began to flourish. During his career at Manchester Utd., Ferguson has won the English Premier League eleven times, the League Cup three times, the FA Cup five times, the Champions League twice, and many other various championship wins. In the 1998-99, under his leadership, the Red Devils won the Treble, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, a feat never accomplished by any other club. He was knighted in 1999 and inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

Man Utd have won 18 domestic league championships, tying them with Liverpool for the most. They have also won many other honours, both domestically and internationally.

Since the new beginning in 1902, Man U has had a few struggles, but that is overshadowed by their enormous success.
Between World War I and World War II the team juggled between victory and failure, moving back and forth from the first division to the second division. After WWII, the team has been nothing short of spectacular, being regulated from the top division only once.

Manchester United F.C. is a football club playing in the English Premier League. They are one of the most popular and successful football teams in the world, as well as the richest of any sport.

Birmingham City General Info & Facts

Birmingham City is back in the Premier League for the 2009-10 season.

But this may be the cause of mixed emotions for all associated with the Blues, including the supporters – Bluenoses.

There should be pride because Birmingham earned an automatic promotion by finishing second in the Football League Championship in 2008-09.

However, there also may be a sense of foreboding. That’s because the Premier is such a strong league. And when the Blues have been in the top flight, they have never consistently finished in the top half of the table.

Through 2008-09, Birmingham has spent just over half of its seasons in the Football League — 55 of 106 — in the top flight. In addition to 50 in the old First Division, they have been in the Premier for only five of 17 since it was formed for 1992-93.

Birmingham’s best finish in the top flight was sixth in the First Division in 1955-56.

Birmingham’s return to the Premier means there will be at least two Birmingham Derby games in 2009-10.

Birmingham trails in the series against Aston Villa, 32-40. There have been 26 draws.

The start occurred in 1875 when Holy Church in the Bordesley Green District of Birmingham adding a football side to cricket in its sports program.

The side was known as Small Heath Alliance until becoming Birmingham City Football Club in 1905.

The Birmingham Derby began on 27 September 1879 — a 1-0 win for Small Heath Alliance over visiting Aston Villa.

Small Heath Alliance was a founding member of the Football League’s Second Division. After winning the championship in the first season – 1892-93, a second-place finish in 1893-94 earned the side its first promotion to the First Division.

Birmingham’s lone piece of major domestic silverware is the 1963 League Cup. The Blues defeated Aston Villa in the home-and-home series, 3-1, on aggregate.

Birmingham made its second and to date final appearance in the League Cup championship game in 2001, falling 2-1 to Liverpool.

Birmingham has appeared twice in the FA Cup championship game, losing 3-1 to West Bromwich Albion in 1931 and Manchester City in 1956.

The Blues won the championship of the old Second Division four times — 1892-93, 1920-21, 1947-48 and 1954-55.

Birmingham City Stadium.

St. Andrew’s Stadium has been the Blues’ home for more than a century. It opened on 26 December 1906 — a 0-0 First Division draw with Middlesbrough.

Legend has it that gypsies were evicted from the land in order to build the stadium. Thus, they put a 100-year curse on the land. If the legend is true, the curse has expired.

Initially, St. Andrew’s accommodated 75,000 spectators in a large grandstand and a large uncovered terrace.

St. Andrew’s was renovated and downsized to an all-seat stadium in the 1990s. Now, the seating capacity is just over 30,000.

Alex McLeish has been in charge since November 2007.

Prior to joining the Blues, he was the manager of Scotland’s national team for 10 months in 2007. He resigned after Scotland narrowly failed to qualify for Euro 2008.

Before that, McLeish guided Rangers to two championships of Scotland’s Premier League as well as five cup championships (two Scottish and three Scottish League) in five seasons – 2000-01 to 2005-06.

McLeish had an outstanding playing career as a central defender with Aberdeen in Scotland. He also made 77 international appearances for Scotland, including the World Cup Finals in 1982, 1986 and 1990.
