About Northampton

Northampton Town was set up in 1897 by a group of local schoolteachers, helped by a solicitor, at a meeting in a pub on the Wellingborough Road. The club played in the Southern League, winning the title in 1908–09 under Herbert Chapman, and entered the Football League in 1920 as part of the new Third Division.

The Cobblers, named after the town's shoemaking trade, are best remembered for a rapid climb under Dave Bowen that took them from the Fourth Division to the First for 1965–66, followed by an equally quick fall back down by 1969. They shared the County Ground with Northamptonshire's cricketers until moving to Sixfields in 1994, won fourth-tier titles in 1987 and 2016, and contest the Nene derby with Peterborough United.

Founded: 1897
Ground: Sixfields Stadium
