Burnley Football Club, nicknamed The Clarets, is a professional football club based in Burnley, in east Lancashire, England. They were founder members of The Football League in 1888, and are currently in the Football League Championship. They play in a claret and blue strip, having played at their home ground of Turf Moor since 1882.
Burnley have been Football League Champions twice, in 1920-21 and 1959-60, and were FA Cup winners on April 25, 1914, beating Liverpool F.C. 1-0 at Crystal Palace.
As recently as 1960 they were league champions, but have been outside the top flight since 1976 and from 1985 endured a seven-year spell in the lowest tier of the Football League. In 1987 they narrowly avoided relegation to the Conference. Since 2000, they have been in the second tier of the English league.
