Southampton Team Stats & History

Southampton FC were founded in 1885 as St. Mary’s Young Men’s Association FC. The club became known as Southampton FC in 1897 after winning the Southern League title. In 1898, they moved to The Dell Stadium, which was their home until 2001. 

They first reached the FA Cup final in 1900, where they lost 4-0 to Bury. Two years later, the Saints lost in the same match to Sheffield United but they got international recognition. Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao’s red and white kits were inspired by Southampton.

The Saints joined the English Football League in 1920, in the Third Division, and were promoted two years later. From 1953 to 1960, though, Southampton were back in the third tier. Derek Reaves was at the top of the Southampton team stats with a club single-season record 45 goals, as the Saints were promoted in 1960. 

Southampton reached the First Division for the first time in 1966. They did well enough to qualify for the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1969-70 and the UEFA Cup in 1971-72. Saints went down in 1974, but won their first and only major trophy two years later.

As massive underdogs vs. Manchester United in the 1976 FA Cup final, Southampton managed a shocking 1-0 win. Saints returned to the top flight two years later, and finished in a club-record second place in 1984.
