Historical Timeline

Year - 1880: A charitable foundation known as St Mark’s was established in the heart of Gorton

The club was originally founded in the winter of 1880 under the early name of St Mark’s (West Gorton). It was conceived as a noble initiative and charitable project, tenaciously driven forward by Anna Connell (the daughter of a vicar) and members of the local church. Its primary mission was to provide a wholesome sporting alternative within the neighbourhood to steer local working men away from the devastating clutches of chronic alcoholism and the brutal, deadly gang violence of impoverished east Manchester.

Year - 1965–1971: The glorious and magical football of Mercer and Allison

After decades of utter obscurity, the revolutionary and exuberant coaching duo – comprising the unassuming manager Joe Mercer and the eccentric tactical innovator Malcolm Allison – ushered in a glittering era of unprecedented triumphs. Led on the pitch by icons such as Colin Bell, Mike Summerbee and Francis Lee, the team dazzled England with a relentless attacking style, masterfully clinching the 1968 League title, swiftly followed by triumphs in the FA Cup and the unforgettable 1970 European Cup Winners’ Cup.

Year - The 1990s: The dramatic and infamous hell of the third category

Throughout the bleak 1990s, the club collapsed as a result of appalling, ruinous and negligent financial management, which tragically led to a series of historic, humiliating and painful consecutive relegations, hitting rock bottom in English football when they were relegated to the Third Division in 1998. The miraculous rescue that saved the club from disappearing came in the nail-biting final play-off at Wembley in 1999 against Gillingham, when Paul Dickov managed to equalise fiercely and inexplicably in the 95th minute, forcing a penalty shoot-out that secured promotion.

Year - 2008 and 2012: Abu Dhabi’s petrodollars and the indescribable cry of ‘Aguerooo’

The fate and balance of power in European football changed dramatically in August 2008 when the wealthy Emirati sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan acquired the club in its entirety. This historic and massive injection of petrodollars fuelled a colossal project that yielded its first major historic dividend in May 2012, when striker Sergio Agüero scored a stunning, last-gasp goal at exactly 93:20 in the final match against QPR, dramatically snatching the title from United.

Year - 2016–present: Pep Guardiola’s aesthetic, tactical and absolute tyranny

The star signing of the obsessive Catalan tactician Pep Guardiola consolidated and cemented the most domineering, overwhelming and perfect golden age ever seen in modern English top-flight football. His intricate and overwhelming model of lethal possession, coupled with flawless tactical engineering, propelled the club to break and shatter all manner of statistical records (including a flawless 100-point season), culminating in 2023 with a majestic victory in the legendary historic treble (the Premier League, the FA Cup and the long-awaited Champions League).
