FOUNDING MEMBERS
Burnley were founded in
May of 1888 by members
of a local rugby team called
Burnley Rovers. They were
one of the first teams to
become professional and
also one of the 12 founding
members of the Football
League.
HOME SWEET HOME
Turf Moor has been
Burnley’s home since 1883
and is one of the longestserving
football stadiums in
the EFL. In 1883, a cricket
club invited Burnley FC
to move from Calder Vale
to the pitch adjacent to
their cricket ground where
fans would congregate
around the pitch or stand
upon a nearby hill to see
the game.
JIMMY JIMMY
Lancashire and England
fast bowler Jimmy
Anderson is an avid
follower of the Clarets,
with England’s all-time
leading wicket taker
affectionally known as the
Burnley Express. A couple
of famous faces from the
cobbles of Coronation
Street are also regarded
as Burnley followers, the
late Johnny Briggs who
played Mike Baldwin and
Sam Aston, who played
Chesney Brown.
RECORD BREAKING BOB
PRIDE OF LANCASHIRE
UTB 79
The Clarets have won the
Lancashire Senior Cup
on 10 occasions and have
also been champions of
England twice, winning
the 1914 FA Cup final too.
Burnley are also one of
only five sides to win all
four divisions of English
football.
When England international forward Bob Kelly made
the move from Burnley to Sunderland in 1921, he broke
the world transfer record with a fee of around £6,500.
Kelly scored eight times from 14 appearances for the
Three Lions.
