Manchester City Football Club is an English football club based in the city of Manchester. Formed in 1880 as West Gorton (St. Marks), it went on to become Ardwick A.F.C. in 1887 before finally becoming Manchester City F.C. in 1894. The club has won the League Championship twice, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and the European Cup Winners Cup once . Manchester City's most successful period came in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when it acquired several trophies under the management team of Joe Mercer and assistant Malcolm Allison, and with great players such as Colin Bell.

In more recent years, the club has fallen on harder times, and has not won a major honour since 1976. The club's decline led to relegation twice in three years in the 1990s, meaning it spent one year in the third tier of English football. However, the club has since regained its FA Premier League status, putting City back in the top flight, the division in which it spent the majority of its history. The club enjoys a large fanbase, regularly attracting more than 40,000 fans to its home ground, the City of Manchester Stadium.
