BRIEF HISTORY of the YORK CITY FOOTBALL CLUB
(reproduced from 'Wikipedia' pages)
York City Football Club is a professional association football club based in York, North Yorkshire, England.
The club participates in League Two, the fourth tier of English football. Founded in 1922, York joined the
Football League in 1929, and have spent most of their time in the lower divisions. The club briefly rose as
high as the second tier of English football, spending two seasons in the Second Division in the 1970s. At
the end of the 2003–04 season the club lost its League status when it was relegated from the Third Division.
York remained in the Conference Premier until the end of the 2011–12 season, when they were promoted back
into the League via the play-offs.
York have enjoyed more success in cup competitions than in the league; highlights include an FA Cup semi-final
appearance in 1955. In the 1995–96 League Cup, York beat Manchester United 3–0 at Old Trafford; Manchester
United went on to win the FA Premier League and FA Cup double that season. Also, in the FA Cup, York beat
Arsenal in 1985, and held Liverpool to a draw in two consecutive seasons in the mid-1980s. York made an
appearance at Wembley Stadium in 1993, beating Crewe Alexandra in the Third Division play-off Final. After
defeats in the 2009 FA Trophy Final and the 2010 Conference Premier play-off Final, York finally recorded a
victory at the new Wembley against Newport County in the 2012 FA Trophy Final. York's home games are played
at Bootham Crescent in York. The stadium was known as KitKat Crescent as part of a sponsorship deal with
Nestlé from 2005 to 2010.
