When it comes to the biggest clubs in England, not many people would suggest Burnley. This is probably because they were absent from the top-flight during the 80’s, 90’s and first decade of the new millennium. But if we look at their history we can see there is a lot more to them than meets the eye.
One of the originators of league football, they were ever-present at the beginning of the Football League and have the titles to prove it. Burnley are from one of the most competitive areas of football in the world and the town’s small population means that it was always going to be hard to keep up their form over the years.
Not surprisingly, they could not match their early successes, but even though they have suffered in some seasons, they show an ability to make it back time and time again. Perhaps they will always be around in some way, and this is an argument we could use to suggest that they are one of England’s big football clubs.
