newton heath- the manchester utd strory

A detailed Summary of newton heath- the manchester utd strory

When British rail began breaking up their steam trains in the 1950's the nameplates of their famous football class engine were polished and presented to the football club whose name it bore. It was a gesture in public relations; a gift from mother to child for without railways there would have bee no Newton Heath.

The team started in the yards of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. The date that L&Y railway football club was formed was not known, as the club does not enter history until 1878. By then its name was changed to Newton Heath, it got its name from the main depot of the railway in Manchester.

Newton heath could only join the league in 1892 when the 1st division was extended by three clubs, and the 2nd division was formed. The 3 clubs that joined the 1st division were Nottingham Forest, Sheffield Wednesday and, of course Newton Heath.

The stars Players were mostly Welshman. They came to Manchester for railway work. Newton Heath in their Green & Gold began their league career badly, and then got worse. Their 1st game against was Blackburn lost 4-3. They only collected 4 points from their 1st six matches. The 1st victory was a brilliant one. Newton Heath thrashed Wolverhamptons 1

The next season was an even worse season for Newton Heath. They lost 22 of their 30 league games and they were beaten 2-0 by Liverpool and were relegated.

There was a great improvement in the clubs performances; they had twice been put up for promotion to the 1st division but had failed to win the promotion. This meant that support started to fall away.

0-1; this record still stands at the club.

R26 700 and the creditors filed for bankruptcy.
