Bury Football Club is an English association football club based in Bury, Greater Manchester, England. The team finished the 2018–19 season as runners-up in EFL League Two to return to EFL League One, the third tier of the English football league system.
Known as "The Shakers", the team play in white shirts and navy blue shorts. Gigg Lane, one of the world's oldest football grounds, has been the club's home venue since 1885. The club's location leads to local derby games with numerous clubs and Bury have long-standing rivalries with Greater Manchester clubs Bolton Wanderers, Oldham Athletic and Rochdale.
Established in 1885, Bury were founder members of the Lancashire League in 1889, and were crowned champions in the 1890–91 and 1891–92 seasons, before being elected to The Football League (now known as the EFL) in 1894. They won the Second Division title in 1894–95 and won their test match to secure promotion into the First Division. They remained in the top-flight for 17 seasons, winning the FA Cup in 1900 with a 4–0 victory over Southampton and again in 1903 with a 6–0 win over Derby County – this remains a record winning margin in an FA Cup final, equalled once, by Manchester City against Watford in 2019. They were relegated to the Second Division at the end of the 1911–12 season, before securing promotion again in 1923–24. Bury lost their top-flight status in 1928–29 and have not since returned. They dropped into the third tier in 1956–57, before winning promotion as champions of the Third Division under the stewardship of Dave Russell in 1960–61. From 1967 to 1971 they were promoted once but, with three relegations found themselves in the Fourth Division for the first time.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bury_F.C.
