Manchester
City football Club was Formed in 1880. Manchester City used various
identities before choosing their current name in 1894. Their FA Cup
victory in 1904 was followed by 30 years of promotion and relegation,
before Man City started to deliver in the mid-1930s, winning the FA
Cup in 1934 and their first league title in 1937. A third FA Cup victory
in 1956 and a decade on, Joe Mercer was part of a golden period in the
history of the club. Man City earned promotion, won the 1968 Division
One championship, lifted the FA Cup in 1969 and also won the European
Cup Winners' Cup and League Cup in 1970. But between 1983 to 2002, the
club was promoted and relegated on 10 occasions and life in the Premiership
was hard to sustain. But Man City stormed to the Division One title
under Kevin Keegan and their switch from Maine Road to the City of Manchester
Stadium signalled the future is brights.
