BRIEF HISTORY of the CREWE ALEXANDRA FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
Crewe Alexandra Football Club is a professional football club in Crewe, Cheshire, England.
Nicknamed The Railwaymen because of the town's links with the rail industry, they play at
Gresty Road and are currently in Football League One, the third tier of the English football
league system. The club was formed in 1877 and named after Princess Alexandra. They were
founding members of the Football League Second Division in 1892, but only lasted four years
in the League. Since re-entering the competition in 1921, they have mostly remained in the
lower divisions. Crewe's only major honour is the Football League Trophy which they won in
2013. They have also won several minor trophies, including the Cheshire Premier Cup and the
Cheshire Senior Cup.
In recent decades, the club has been associated with manager Dario Gradi whose 24-year tenure
between 1983 and 2007 made him the longest-serving manager in English football; he had a further
two-year spell in the role from 2009 to 2011. Gradi is known for focusing on youth development
and promoting attractive, technical football. Notable players brought through the Crewe youth
system include former internationals Rob Jones, Neil Lennon, Danny Murphy, Seth Johnson and
Dean Ashton. Other notable players to have made their name at Crewe in that time include Geoff
Thomas, David Platt and Robbie Savage.
