Bury performances from 1894 until 2019

Bury Football Club is an English association football club based in the town of Bury, which was in Lancashire until 1974 when it was absorbed into Greater Manchester. Founded in 1885, Bury first entered the FA Cup in 1887–88. Drawn to play Blackburn Rovers away from home, they travelled to Ewood Park but scratched before the game; the two teams played a friendly match instead, which Bury lost heavily. The team first contested an FA Cup match in 1891–92: they beat Witton and Heywood Central before losing to Blackpool after a replay in the third qualifying round.

Bury were founder members of and runners-up in the Lancashire League in 1889–90, and won the title in their second and third seasons. They were elected to the Football League ahead of the 1893–94 season, won the Second Division title that same season by a nine-point margin, and beat Liverpool, the First Division's bottom club, in the test match to gain promotion. They retained their top-flight status for 17 seasons. During that period Bury twice won the FA Cup. In the 1900 final, they beat Southern League team Southampton by four goals to nil. Three years later, they did not concede a goal in any round as they went on to beat Derby County 6–0, which remains the widest winning margin in an FA Cup final; the ball used in that match is on display at the National Football Museum.

They returned to the First Division for a five-season spell in the mid-1920s, and achieved their highest ever finish, of fourth place, in 1925–26. Relegated back to the Second in 1929, Bury did not play in the top flight again; the closest they came was a third place in 1936–37. They flirted with relegation all through the 1950s, finally dropping into the Third Division North for the first time in the club's history in that league's last season before the regional sections were amalgamated into national Third and Fourth Divisions in 1958. Returning to the Second Division as Third Division champions in 1961, Bury spent seven of the next eight seasons at that level. In 1962–63, they reached the semi-final of the Football League Cup, losing 4–3 on aggregate to eventual winners Birmingham City. By 1971 Bury were in the Fourth Division, only for a three-season spell, but they were to spend the first half of the 1980s at that level.

Further spells in the third and fourth tiers preceded two successive promotions in the mid-1990s: third place in Division Three – after the Premier League broke away from the Football League in 1992, the divisions were renumbered – followed by the Division Two title in 1996–97 brought Bury to the second tier for the first time in forty years. After two seasons they were relegated, and by 2002, financial problems brought the club into administration and to the brink of folding. A supporters' campaign raised enough money to keep the club afloat, and in recognition of his role within that process, UEFA presented club press officer Gordon Sorfleet with their Best Supporter award for 2002. Bury were relegated at the end of that season, and then yo-yoed between the third and fourth tiers. Promoted to League One in 2019 against a background of increasingly damaging financial and ownership issues, Bury's early fixtures in the 2019–20 season were successively postponed until, on 27 August 2019, after 125 years continuous membership, the club was expelled from the Football League. A phoenix club, Bury AFC, joined the North West Counties League First Division North for the 2021–22 season and won that division the following year. Meanwhile, the entity that was Bury F.C. still existed, and the two merged in 2023, restoring the Bury F.C. playing name and combining the two teams' histories.

Before the club's expulsion from the Football League, Bury spent 22 seasons in the top tier of the English football league system, 39 in the second, 29 in the third and 24 in the fourth. The table details the team's achievements in senior first-team competitions and records the top scorer in league matches for each season since they first entered the FA Cup in 1887–88.

Notes

  1. ^ Some sources, e.g. the Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF), record this fixture as a first-round FA Cup tie. However, the Football Association lists the result as a walkover to Blackburn, the Blackburn Standard reported that "as the team was composed of more than one player who was ineligible they scratched previous to going on the field, and consequently an ordinary game was contested" which Rovers won 10–0, and Bury F.C. do not include it in their complete FA Cup record.
  2. Beginning with the 1925–26 season, the FA Cup was structured so that the third round proper contained 64 teams. Prior to that date, the structure had varied, so rounds are not directly comparable to the round of the same name after 1925. For example, in 1899–1900 and 1902–03, when Bury won the competition, there were only three rounds proper before the semifinal, as compared with the current six.
  3. The League Cup competition started in the 1960–61 season.
  4. Sourced to Soccerbase for 1996–97 to 2018–19.
  5. From the 1894–95 Football League season onwards, divisions are sorted according to their level within the English football league system, and separately from the pre-Football League division.
  6. At the end of the 1914–15 season, the Football League and FA Cup were suspended for the duration of the First World War.
  7. The 1939–40 Football League season was abandoned with three matches played when the Second World War began, and the Football League and FA Cup remained suspended for the duration.
  8. Four players, Reg Halton, Jack Kelly, John McNeill and Fred Roberts each scored once before the 1939–40 season was abandoned.
  9. Although the Football League did not resume until the 1946–47 season, the FA Cup was contested in 1945–46. From the first round proper to the sixth round (quarter-final), results were determined on aggregate score over two legs.
  10. The 1981–82 season saw the introduction of three points for a win instead of two.
  11. The Football League Group Cup succeeded the Anglo-Scottish Cup after the Scottish clubs decided to abandon the competition.
  12. Bury lost 2–0 on aggregate to Tranmere Rovers in the play-off semi-final.
  13. Bury lost 2–1 on aggregate to Bolton Wanderers in the play-off semi-final.
  14. When the newly formed FA Premier League split from the Football League, the remaining divisions of the Football League were renumbered upwards.
