Southampton F.C. History

Southampton F.C. was founded in 1885 by members of the St. Mary's Church. Upon winning the Southern League in 1897, the club changed its name to Southampton Football Club. The following year they moved to The Dell, a stadium which would be their home for the next century.

Southampton followed up the 1897 Southern League victory by winning five more titles in 1898, 1899, 1901, 1903 and 1904. During this period, they appeared in two FA Cup finals; however, Bury and Sheffield United would prove to be superior competition. They joined the Third Division of the Football League in 1920 immediately advancing to the Second Division in 1921.

In 1904, Southampton become the first British football club to make a South American tour. In these days, the British game was far more developed than that in South America. Southampton would start the tour in Argentine and in a succession of matches winning by a combined score of 29-4 before beating a Uruguayan mixed eleven by 8 to 1.

It wasnt until 1966 the Southampton F.C. reached the First Division, where they remained for the next eight years. They had their first taste of European football, with a couple of unsuccessful forays into the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup and the UEFA Cup but their finest moment came in 1976 FA Cup final, when they beat Manchester United 1-0 to grab the first major trophy in their history. They came close to the Football League Cup title three years later but lost out to Nottingham Forest.

The club's had their second top-flight campaign from 1978 to 2005. Even though they did finish as runners-up to Liverpool in 1984 most of this period was spent fighting relegation. They stayed up mostly thanks to Matt Le Tissier, a gifted forward whose technical skills and loyalty to the club would make him the most beloved and influential player in Southampton's history. Le Tissier spent his entire professional career in Southampton, scoring 161 goals in 456 appearances.

Following another FA Cup final loss in 2003 and a relegation to League One in 2009, the club was in financial difficulties. Their fortunes took a turn for the better after the club was bought by businessman Markus Liebherr in 2010. It took Southampton only two years to return to the Premier League.
