Manchester United Facts

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 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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Blackburn Rover Football Club Facts

While the Rovers have never achieved a level of success comparable to Chelsea, Manchester United, or Arsenal, they are one of the few clubs to have been founding members of the Football League and Premier League.

Started in 1875, Blackburn experienced a great deal of success during the 1880s, winning three FA Cups. The Rovers then became one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888, finishing in fourth place in the inaugural season. In 1890, Blackburn purchased Ewood Park during the midst of two more FA Cup wins that included the first hat trick in an FA Cup final, a feat achieved by William Townley.

However, the coming years would prove to be much more unkind to the Riversiders. Though they won league titles in 1912 and 1914, their FA Cup win in 1928 would be the last in a long, long time. Mediocrity finally led to relegation in 1935-1936. They managed to return to the First Division after the war, but suffered relegation once again in 1947-1948, remaining in the Second Division for ten years. Promoted in 1958, the Rovers mostly struggled through the following seasons until being relegated again in 1966, the beginning of a period that would see the formerly-proud club spend time in the Second and Third Divisions for 26 years.

It wasn’t until owner Jack Walker took over the club that the Rovers would find success again. Flush with money, the Rovers made several key moves that allowed them to win the Second Division in 1991-1992 and finally return to the First Division. Walker continued spending money in the summer of 1992, shelling out a then-record 3.2 million pounds for young centre forward Alan Shearer, along with numerous other expensive acquisitions. In 1993-1994, those moves and others paid off for Walker, as the Blue and Whites finished runners-up in the Premiership to Manchester United. During the following off-season, Walker once again emptied his pockets to acquire Chris Sutton. The following season, Walker’s efforts paid off, as the Rovers won the Premiership for the first time since 1914.

Manager Kenny Dalglish moved into a new position of Director of Football after his success as manager of the club, but the Rovers struggled to stay at the top. The club sold Alan Shearer to Newcastle United after the 1994-1995 and relegation followed after the 1998-1999 season. In 2000, Jack Walker died, but the Rovers gained their promotion and won their first League Cup in 2001-2002.

Blackburn Rovers Stadium

No club in the Premier League has been in their current home longer than the Blue and Whites have taken the pitch at Ewood Park in Blackburn, Lancashire. Open since 1882 next to the Darwen River, the stadium is comprised of four stands and seats over 31,000. Owner Jack Walker completed massive renovations at the site in 1994 that saw the construction of new, two-tiered stands at Darwen End and Blakburn End, along with the Jack Walker Stand, replacing the Nuttall Street Stand. Only the Riverside Stand remains unchanged.

Blackburn Rovers Manager

Sam Allardyce took over as manager of the Blue and Whites in 2008 after managing Newcastle United from 2007-2008 and the Bolton Wanderers from 1999-2007. Known as "Big Sam," Allardyce played professionally for the Bolton side that won promotion to the First Division in 1977-1978, as well as in the United States, bringing many American football tactics to the sport known as football to the rest of the world.
