Scunthorpe United Football Club, commonly known as The Iron, is a professional football club based in Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. Established in 1899, the club plays its home games at Glanford Park, the first purpose-built all-seater stadium in the Football League, which has a capacity of 9,088.
The club was initially formed as Scunthorpe & Lindsey United and played in the Midland League. They joined the Football League in 1950 and have spent most of their history bouncing between the lower divisions. The club's most successful period came in the 1960s, when they won promotion to the Second Division for the first time and reached the fifth round of the FA Cup twice.
Scunthorpe United has a reputation for nurturing young talent, with several players going on to have successful careers in the higher leagues. Notable alumni include England internationals Kevin Keegan and Ray Clemence, as well as former Manchester United captain Steve Bruce.
The club's traditional colours are claret and blue, which have been worn since its formation. The team's emblem features a stylised ironstone miner, reflecting the town's industrial heritage.
Scunthorpe United has enjoyed several promotions in recent years, reaching the Championship, the second tier of English football, in 2007 and 2009. However, they have also experienced relegations and have spent the majority of the last decade in League One and Two.
Despite the ups and downs, Scunthorpe United remains a beloved institution in its local community. The club is known for its dedicated fanbase, who continue to support The Iron through thick and thin. The club's motto, "Iron in our Blood", encapsulates the deep connection between the team, the town, and the people of Scunthorpe.
The club's history is marked by resilience and determination, traits that are mirrored in the character of the town and its people. Scunthorpe United may not be the most glamorous or successful club in English football, but it is a club with a rich history, a strong identity, and a deep-rooted connection to its community.
