The team currently play in the Football League Two, after securing promotion from the [[Conference National|Conference]] [[2008–09 Football Conference|2008-09 season]]. <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> The town of Burton has had a chequered history of football clubs, partly due to the area's main sport traditionally in the past being rugby union. Many former Burton teams have struggled financially. Albion can claim lineage from [[Burton Swifts F.C.|Burton Swifts]], Burton Town, [[Burton United F.C.|Burton United]], and [[Burton Wanderers F.C.|Burton Wanderers]], who were all defunct football clubs in the town. Burton Albion (nicknamed "the Brewers", given that brewing is one of Burton's principal industries)<br /> were formed in 1950, and joined the [[Birmingham & District League]].<br /> <br /> Albion began life at the Lloyds Foundry ground on Wellington Street, but high attendances meant that the club quickly searched for a more suitable home. [[Eton Park]] was built off Derby Road and officially opened on 20 September 1958, coinciding with their promotion to the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]]. From then until its demolition in 2005, the Brewers played all of their home games at Eton Park. <br /> <br /> They have also had spells in the [[Northern Premier League]] (NPL), due to their location in the central Midlands. They entered the Conference in 2002 upon winning the NPL title.<br /> <br /> Eton Park was dismantled to make way for housing, as the club had just completed a new stadium, at a cost of £7.2 million. It is situated directly opposite Eton Park and was named the [[Pirelli Stadium]], situated as it was a short distance from Pirelli's factory in Burton. The stadium has an increased capacity, firstly set at 6,200, but then later raised to 6,912. The first match played there was a friendly between Burton Albion and [[Chester City F.C.|Chester City]] on Saturday 16 July 2005. <br /> <br /> One notable result at the ground was a 0&ndash;0 draw in the [[FA Cup]] [[FA Cup 2005-06#Third Round Proper|third round]] against [[Manchester United]] on 8 January 2006. The result of the Third Round replay, lucratively played at [[Old Trafford (football)|Old Trafford]], was a 5&ndash;0 win for Manchester United in front of over 11,000 Brewers fans. This constituted a record number of away fans seen at Old Trafford<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4612320.stm</ref>.<br /> <br /> Since their FA Cup success, Burton have competed in the upper reaches of the Conference. The Brewers attained their highest ever league position to date in [[2007-08 in English football|2007&ndash;08]], finishing in the end of season play-off places for the first time in their history, before losing in their play-off to [[Cambridge United]]. As of April 2009, they were top of the [[Conference National]], setting a league record for the most consecutive wins in a row. This is despite losing the services of manager, [[Nigel Clough]], to [[Derby County]] with [[Roy McFarland]] installed as caretaker manager until the end of the season. When the team was 19 points clear at the top of the table, Conference sponsors Blue Square declared Burton the winners of the 2008/09 title in a PR stunt in which they paid out all bets. After that announcement in February, however, the club saw their lead reduced week by week, though they still secured promotion to the [[The Football League|Football League]], despite losing 2-1 away at [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] in the final game of the season when Cambridge United could only manage a goalless draw to [[Altrincham F.C.|Altrincham]].<br /> <br /> At the end of the season, it was decided that Roy McFarland would not stay on as the Burton manager in a permanent position. After a lengthy search, the club announced that [[Paul Peschisolido]] would become the club's new manager with [[Gary Rowett]] his assistant. Burton's first win in the Football League was a 5-2 win over [[Morecambe F.C.|Morecambe]] at the Pirelli Stadium.<br /> <br /> ==Current squad==<br /> :''As of 29 January 2010.''<br /> {{Fs start}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=1|nat=England|name=[[Kevin Poole]]|pos=GK}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=2|nat=England|name=[[Paul Boertien]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=3|nat=England|name=[[Aaron Webster (footballer)|Aaron Webster]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=4|nat=England|name=[[Michael Simpson (footballer)|Michael Simpson]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=5|nat=Wales|name=[[Tony James (footballer)|Tony James]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=6|nat=Ireland|name=[[John McGrath (Irish footballer)|John McGrath]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=7|nat=England|name=[[Darren Stride]]|pos=DF|other=[[captain (association football)|captain]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=8|nat=England|name=[[Andrew Corbett]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=9|nat=England|name=[[Shaun Harrad]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=10|nat=England|name=[[Richard Walker (footballer born 1977)|Richard Walker]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=11|nat=Ireland|name=[[Keith Gilroy]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{fs mid}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=15|nat=England|name=[[Ryan Austin (footballer)|Ryan Austin]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=16|nat=England|name=[[Russell Penn]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=17|nat=England|name=[[Jimmy Phillips (footballer born 1989)|Jimmy Phillips]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=18|nat=England|name=[[Greg Pearson]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=19|nat=Democratic Republic of the Congo|name=[[Jacques Maghoma]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=21|nat=Benin|name=[[Romuald Boco]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=22|nat=England|name=James Knowles|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=23|nat=Jamaica|name=[[Cleveland Taylor]]|pos=MF|other=on loan from [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=25|nat=England|name=[[Tom Parkes]]|pos=DF|other=on loan from [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=26|nat=England|name=[[Steve Kabba]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=27|nat=England|name=[[Richard Jackson (footballer born 1980)|Richard Jackson]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=30|nat=Poland|name=[[Artur Krysiak]]|pos=GK|other=on loan from [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]]}}<br /> {{fs end}}<br /> ===Out on loan===<br /> {{fs start}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=14|nat=England|name=[[Marc Goodfellow]]|pos=MF|other=at [[Kidderminster Harriers F.C.|Kidderminster]] for the season}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=20|nat=England|name=[[Guy Branston]]|pos=DF|other=at [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] for the season}}<br /> {{fs blank column}} <br /> {{fs end}}<br /> <br /> ==Club officials==<br /> *Chairman: '''[[Ben Robinson]]'''<br /> *Manager: '''[[Paul Peschisolido]]'''<br /> *Assistant Manager: '''[[Gary Rowett]]'''<br /> <br /> ==Notable former players==<br /> *[[Eddie Shimwell]] - former [[England national football team|England]] international; first full-back to score at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]].

The Brewers gifted an equaliser when the keeper was caught out by strong winds and carried the ball over the line and the tie was later rather fortunately decided with a strike by Tamworth striker Jon Stevenson capitalising on a poor header by Ryan Austin. Burton soon dusted themselves off, however, and their 'concentration on the league' campaign clearly paid off with a consistent run, culminating in a top 5 play-off position over the hectic Christmas period.<br /> *'''2008''' - 'The Brewers' finished in the Conference National end of season play-offs for the first time in their history, before losing to [[Cambridge United F.C.|Cambridge United]] 4-3 on aggregate.<br /> *'''2009''' - The first game of the year played against [[York City]] at [[KitKat Crescent]] would be the last game managed by [[Nigel Clough]]. 452 Brewers fans travelled to the game to see (unknown at the time) Clough's last game as manager. Although several choruses of "Cloughy is a Brewer" rang throughout the away stand, this would not stop the departure of Nigel. Burton won the game 3-1.<br /> 'The Brewers' finished as [[Conference National]] champions and earned promotion to [[Football League Two]] for the first time in their history.<br /> <br />

Algeria also won the [[Africa Cup of Nations]] once in [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations|1990]] when they hosted the tournament. <br /> In November 2009, Algeria managed to beat [[North Africa]]n rivals [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification|World Cup qualification]] [[tiebreaker]] to secure a place at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]] in [[South Africa]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===1980–1990: apogee of Algerian football===<br /> During the [[1980 African Nations Cup]], Algeria finished runner-up with the following results: after a draw against [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] (0–0), it defeated both [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] (1–0, with a goal by [[Lakhdar Belloumi]]) and [[Guinea national football team|Guinea]] (3–2, with goals by [[Hocine Benmiloudi]] and a double by [[Tedj Bensaoula]]). In the semi-finals, they beat [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a penalty shoot-out (2–2, PK 4–2, with goals by [[Salah Assad]] and [[Hocine Benmiloudi]]). In the final, they were defeated by [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] by a score of 3–0. In the [[1982 African Cup of Nations]], Algeria finished fourth and qualified for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]].<br /> <br /> ====World Cup 1982====<br /> The [[1982 FIFA World Cup]] saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2&ndash;1 victory of Algeria over reigning European Champions [[Germany national football team|West Germany]]. This famous result for the Algerians put the Germans in grave danger of failing to qualify for the next round. This led to many people believing that the final match in the group between West Germany and [[Austria national football team|Austria]] was fixed, as Algeria had already played their final group game the day before, West Germany and Austria knew that a West German win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and a draw or an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. The fourth team in the group, [[Chile national football team|Chile]], were eliminated regardless of the outcome. After 10 minutes of all-out attack, West Germany succeeded in scoring through a goal by [[Horst Hrubesch]]. After the goal was scored, the two German-speaking teams went into an unspoken agreement and just kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the match. Chants of "''Fuera, fuera''" ("''Out, out''") were screamed by the appalled Spanish crowd, while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players. [[West Germany v Austria (1982)|This performance]] was widely deplored, even by the German and Austrian fans who had hoped for a hot rematch of the [[1978 FIFA World Cup]] match in which Austria had beaten West Germany. One German fan was so upset by his team's display that he burned his German flag in disgust.<ref>{{cite news |first=Lawrence |last=Booth |coauthors=Smyth, Rob |title=What's the dodgiest game in football history? |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2004/aug/11/theknowledge.sport |work=guardian.co.uk |publisher=Guardian News and Media |date=11 August 2004 |accessdate=25 February 2009 }}</ref> Algeria protested to FIFA, who ruled that the result be allowed to stand, but events led to FIFA introducing a revised qualification system at subsequent World Cups in which the final two games in each group were played simultaneously.<br /> <br /> ====World Cup 1986====<br /> In 1984, Algeria took third place in the [[1984 African Nations Cup]] in [[Côte d'Ivoire]]. During the [[1986 African Nations Cup]], the national teams recorded two defeats and one draw and was eliminated in the first round. In [[Mexico]], at the [[1986 World Cup]], the Algerians were not able to pass the first round once again in a group that included [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] (1–1 draw), [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] (1–0 loss), and [[Spain national football team|Spain]] (3–0 loss). Only one Algerian managed to score during this competition: [[Djamel Zidane]]. From thereon, Algeria failed to qualify for another [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] until 2010.<br /> <br /> ====Africa Cup of Nations 1990====<br /> In 1990, Algeria hosted the [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations]]. In Group A, the Algerians started the tournament by beating [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] (5–1, with doubles by [[Djamel Menad]] and [[Rabah Madjer]] and a goal by [[Djamel Amani]]), [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] (3–0, with goals by Djamel Menad, [[Tahar Cherif El Ouazzani]], and [[Cherif Oudjani]]) and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] (2–0, with goals by [[Djamel Amani]] and [[Moussa Saib]]). In the semi-finals, Algeria beat [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] 2–1 (goals by Djamel Menad and Djamel Amani in front of 85,000 fans in the [[Stade 5 Juillet 1962]].<br /> <br /> In the final against [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]], in front of 200,000 fans in the same stadium, [[Cherif Oudjani]], in the 38th minute, enabled Algeria to win the [[African Nations Cup]] for the first time. Djamel Menad was crowned top scorer of the competition with four goals.<br /> <br /> ===1990–2008: The walk through the desert===<br /> Having won an [[African Nations Cup]] title, the Algerian team, however, had not managed to qualify for the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Italy]]. In 1991, the national team won the [[Afro-Asian Cup of Nations]] against [[Iran national football team|Iran]]. As title holders, Algeria disappointed at the [[1992 African Nations Cup]] in [[Senegal]], recording a loss against [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] (3–0) and a draw against [[Congo national football team|Congo]] (1–1, with a goal by [[Nacer Bouiche]]). In 1994, Algeria was disqualified from the [[1994 African Nations Cup]] in [[Tunisia]] due to the use of an ineligible player and failed during the [[1994 World Cup]] qualifiying.<br /> <br /> In 1996, Algeria returned to [[1996 African Cup of Nations|African Cup of Nations]], but were eliminated by hosts [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] in the quarter-finals. The Algerians failed to qualify for the following [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]] in [[1998 World Cup|1998]], [[2002 World Cup|2002]] and [[2006 World Cup|2006]]. During the [[1998 African Cup of Nations]], Algeria finished last in its group with three defeats and was eliminated in the group stage. In the [[2000 African Cup of Nations]], the ''Fennecs'' managed to pass to the first round only to lose to [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] (2–1). Algeria once more failed to pass the first round in the African competition in [[2002 African Nations Cup|2002]] but managed to get to the quarter-finals in [[2004 African Cup of Nations|2004]]; however, they were eliminated by [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] by a score of 3–1 after extra-time (the lone Algerian goal was scored by [[Abdelmalek Cherrad]]. Algeria failed to qualify for the following two [[Africa Cup of Nations]] in [[2006 Africa Cup of Nations|2006]] and [[2008 Africa Cup of Nations|2008]].<br /> <br /> ===World Cup 2010 qualifiers===<br /> On 11 October 2008, Algeria returned to the top 20 African teams by finishing first in their group ahead of [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]], [[Gambia national football team|Gambia]], and [[Liberia national football team|Liberia]] for the second round on the combined [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|2010 World Cup and 2010 African Cup of Nations qualifications]]. In the third and final round of the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|qualifiers]], Algeria was joined by [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]], [[Rwanda national football team|Rwanda]], and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]]. In July 2009, Algeria made their return amongst the world's top fifty after a 3–1 win against the double African champions [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] and a 2–0 away win against Zambia. Beating Zambia in [[Blida]] 1–0 followed by a 3–1 win against Rwanda, Algeria ensured that the qualification for the World Cup would go down to the wire with a final encounter against Egypt in [[Cairo]], where nothing less than a loss by three goals would stop the ''Fennecs'' from going to [[South Africa]]. This run of results also saw Algeria move to the 29th position in [[FIFA]] ranking – one place behind Egypt in the October 2009 ranking. In November 2009, they beat fierce rivals Egypt in a playoff [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup in South Africa]] and moved to the highest [[FIFA]] ranking ever reached by Algeria (26) in December 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/8367431.stm|title=Yahia sends Algeria to World Cup |date=2009-11-18|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=285045&cc=5739|title=Yahia cracker seals play-off win|date=2009-11-18|work=ESPN|accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref><br /> <br /> They were drawn in Group C, where they will face [[England national football team|England]], the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], and [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]]<br /> <br /> ===Africa Cup of Nations 2010===<br /> <br /> The team put on a mixed performance in the [[2010 Africa Cup of Nations|tournament]]. Being drawn in Group A, with [[Angola national football team|Angola]], [[Malawi national football team|Malawi]] and [[Mali national football team|Mali]], Algeria started poorly by losing 3-0 to group outsiders Malawi. However, they improved in the following game against Mali, beating them 1-0 thanks to a [[Rafik Halliche]] header. In the last match, they drew 0-0 with Angola, which sent them to the second round, finishing with the same amount of points as Mali, but with a superior head-to-head record. Playing in [[Cabinda]], Algeria faced [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] in the quarterfinals, who were considered heavy favourites to qualify. But they got a historic win. After trailing 1-0, [[Karim Matmour]] equalized, but [[Abdul Kader Keita|Keita]] gave the Ivorians the lead in the 89th minute, which seemed to be the end of the line. However, they equalized with [[Madjid Bougherra]] in added time, and [[Hameur Bouazza]] gave the Fennecs the lead in extra time. Their opposition in the semi-final was their bitter rivals, [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]], in their first meeting since their [[2009 Egypt–Algeria World Cup dispute|World Cup qualification play-off]]. Egypt won 4-0.Which was the biggest defeat in the history of both teams meetings.Egypt then went on to win the cup against Ghana.<br /> <br /> ==Honours==<br /> :'''World Cups:'''<br /> <br />

Algeria also won the [[Africa Cup of Nations]] once in [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations|1990]] when they hosted the tournament. <br /> In November 2009, Algeria managed to beat [[North Africa]]n rivals [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification|World Cup qualification]] [[tiebreaker]] to secure a place at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]] in [[South Africa]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===1980–1990: apogee of Algerian football===<br /> During the [[1980 African Nations Cup]], Algeria finished runner-up with the following results: after a draw against [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] (0–0), it defeated both [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] (1–0, with a goal by [[Lakhdar Belloumi]]) and [[Guinea national football team|Guinea]] (3–2, with goals by [[Hocine Benmiloudi]] and a double by [[Tedj Bensaoula]]). In the semi-finals, they beat [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a penalty shoot-out (2–2, PK 4–2, with goals by [[Salah Assad]] and [[Hocine Benmiloudi]]). In the final, they were defeated by [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] by a score of 3–0. In the [[1982 African Cup of Nations]], Algeria finished fourth and qualified for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]].<br /> <br /> ====World Cup 1982====<br /> The [[1982 FIFA World Cup]] saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2&ndash;1 victory of Algeria over reigning European Champions [[Germany national football team|West Germany]]. This famous result for the Algerians put the Germans in grave danger of failing to qualify for the next round. This led to many people believing that the final match in the group between West Germany and [[Austria national football team|Austria]] was fixed, as Algeria had already played their final group game the day before, West Germany and Austria knew that a West German win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and a draw or an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. The fourth team in the group, [[Chile national football team|Chile]], were eliminated regardless of the outcome. After 10 minutes of all-out attack, West Germany succeeded in scoring through a goal by [[Horst Hrubesch]]. After the goal was scored, the two German-speaking teams went into an unspoken agreement and just kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the match. Chants of "''Fuera, fuera''" ("''Out, out''") were screamed by the appalled Spanish crowd, while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players. [[West Germany v Austria (1982)|This performance]] was widely deplored, even by the German and Austrian fans who had hoped for a hot rematch of the [[1978 FIFA World Cup]] match in which Austria had beaten West Germany. One German fan was so upset by his team's display that he burned his German flag in disgust.<ref>{{cite news |first=Lawrence |last=Booth |coauthors=Smyth, Rob |title=What's the dodgiest game in football history? |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2004/aug/11/theknowledge.sport |work=guardian.co.uk |publisher=Guardian News and Media |date=11 August 2004 |accessdate=25 February 2009 }}</ref> Algeria protested to FIFA, who ruled that the result be allowed to stand, but events led to FIFA introducing a revised qualification system at subsequent World Cups in which the final two games in each group were played simultaneously.<br /> <br /> ====World Cup 1986====<br /> In 1984, Algeria took third place in the [[1984 African Nations Cup]] in [[Côte d'Ivoire]]. During the [[1986 African Nations Cup]], the national teams recorded two defeats and one draw and was eliminated in the first round. In [[Mexico]], at the [[1986 World Cup]], the Algerians were not able to pass the first round once again in a group that included [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] (1–1 draw), [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] (1–0 loss), and [[Spain national football team|Spain]] (3–0 loss). Only one Algerian managed to score during this competition: [[Djamel Zidane]]. From thereon, Algeria failed to qualify for another [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] until 2010.<br /> <br /> ====Africa Cup of Nations 1990====<br /> In 1990, Algeria hosted the [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations]]. In Group A, the Algerians started the tournament by beating [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] (5–1, with doubles by [[Djamel Menad]] and [[Rabah Madjer]] and a goal by [[Djamel Amani]]), [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] (3–0, with goals by Djamel Menad, [[Tahar Cherif El Ouazzani]], and [[Cherif Oudjani]]) and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] (2–0, with goals by [[Djamel Amani]] and [[Moussa Saib]]). In the semi-finals, Algeria beat [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] 2–1 (goals by Djamel Menad and Djamel Amani in front of 85,000 fans in the [[Stade 5 Juillet 1962]].<br /> <br /> In the final against [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]], in front of 200,000 fans in the same stadium, [[Cherif Oudjani]], in the 38th minute, enabled Algeria to win the [[African Nations Cup]] for the first time. Djamel Menad was crowned top scorer of the competition with four goals.<br /> <br /> ===1990–2008: The walk through the desert===<br /> Having won an [[African Nations Cup]] title, the Algerian team, however, had not managed to qualify for the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Italy]]. In 1991, the national team won the [[Afro-Asian Cup of Nations]] against [[Iran national football team|Iran]]. As title holders, Algeria disappointed at the [[1992 African Nations Cup]] in [[Senegal]], recording a loss against [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] (3–0) and a draw against [[Congo national football team|Congo]] (1–1, with a goal by [[Nacer Bouiche]]). In 1994, Algeria was disqualified from the [[1994 African Nations Cup]] in [[Tunisia]] due to the use of an ineligible player and failed during the [[1994 World Cup]] qualifiying.<br /> <br /> In 1996, Algeria returned to [[1996 African Cup of Nations|African Cup of Nations]], but were eliminated by hosts [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] in the quarter-finals. The Algerians failed to qualify for the following [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]] in [[1998 World Cup|1998]], [[2002 World Cup|2002]] and [[2006 World Cup|2006]]. During the [[1998 African Cup of Nations]], Algeria finished last in its group with three defeats and was eliminated in the group stage. In the [[2000 African Cup of Nations]], the ''Fennecs'' managed to pass to the first round only to lose to [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] (2–1). Algeria once more failed to pass the first round in the African competition in [[2002 African Nations Cup|2002]] but managed to get to the quarter-finals in [[2004 African Cup of Nations|2004]]; however, they were eliminated by [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] by a score of 3–1 after extra-time (the lone Algerian goal was scored by [[Abdelmalek Cherrad]]. Algeria failed to qualify for the following two [[Africa Cup of Nations]] in [[2006 Africa Cup of Nations|2006]] and [[2008 Africa Cup of Nations|2008]].<br /> <br /> ===World Cup 2010 qualifiers===<br /> On 11 October 2008, Algeria returned to the top 20 African teams by finishing first in their group ahead of [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]], [[Gambia national football team|Gambia]], and [[Liberia national football team|Liberia]] for the second round on the combined [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|2010 World Cup and 2010 African Cup of Nations qualifications]]. In the third and final round of the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|qualifiers]], Algeria was joined by [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]], [[Rwanda national football team|Rwanda]], and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]]. In July 2009, Algeria made their return amongst the world's top fifty after a 3–1 win against the double African champions [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] and a 2–0 away win against Zambia. Beating Zambia in [[Blida]] 1–0 followed by a 3–1 win against Rwanda, Algeria ensured that the qualification for the World Cup would go down to the wire with a final encounter against Egypt in [[Cairo]], where nothing less than a loss by three goals would stop the ''Fennecs'' from going to [[South Africa]]. This run of results also saw Algeria move to the 29th position in [[FIFA]] ranking – one place behind Egypt in the October 2009 ranking. In November 2009, they beat fierce rivals Egypt in a playoff [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup in South Africa]] and moved to the highest [[FIFA]] ranking ever reached by Algeria (26) in December 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/8367431.stm|title=Yahia sends Algeria to World Cup |date=2009-11-18|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=285045&cc=5739|title=Yahia cracker seals play-off win|date=2009-11-18|work=ESPN|accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref><br /> <br /> They were drawn in Group C, where they will face [[England national football team|England]], the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], and [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]]<br /> <br /> ===Africa Cup of Nations 2010===<br /> <br /> The team put on a mixed performance in the [[2010 Africa Cup of Nations|tournament]]. Being drawn in Group A, with [[Angola national football team|Angola]], [[Malawi national football team|Malawi]] and [[Mali national football team|Mali]], Algeria started poorly by losing 3-0 to group outsiders Malawi. However, they improved in the following game against Mali, beating them 1-0 thanks to a [[Rafik Halliche]] header. In the last match, they drew 0-0 with Angola, which sent them to the second round, finishing with the same amount of points as Mali, but with a superior head-to-head record. Playing in [[Cabinda]], Algeria faced [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] in the quarterfinals, who were considered heavy favourites to qualify. But they got a historic win. After trailing 1-0, [[Karim Matmour]] equalized, but [[Abdul Kader Keita|Keita]] gave the Ivorians the lead in the 89th minute, which seemed to be the end of the line. However, they equalized with [[Madjid Bougherra]] in added time, and [[Hameur Bouazza]] gave the Fennecs the lead in extra time. Their opposition in the semi-final was their bitter rivals, [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]], in their first meeting since their [[2009 Egypt–Algeria World Cup dispute|World Cup qualification play-off]]. Egypt won 4-0.Which was the biggest defeat in the history of both teams meetings.Egypt then went on to win the cup against Ghana.<br /> <br /> ==Honours==<br /> :'''World Cups:'''<br /> <br />

Algeria also won the [[Africa Cup of Nations]] once in [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations|1990]] when they hosted the tournament. <br /> In November 2009, Algeria managed to beat [[North Africa]]n rivals [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification|World Cup qualification]] [[tiebreaker]] to secure a place at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]] in [[South Africa]].<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> <br /> ===1980–1990: apogee of Algerian football===<br /> During the [[1980 African Nations Cup]], Algeria finished runner-up with the following results: after a draw against [[Ghana national football team|Ghana]] (0–0), it defeated both [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] (1–0, with a goal by [[Lakhdar Belloumi]]) and [[Guinea national football team|Guinea]] (3–2, with goals by [[Hocine Benmiloudi]] and a double by [[Tedj Bensaoula]]). In the semi-finals, they beat [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] in a penalty shoot-out (2–2, PK 4–2, with goals by [[Salah Assad]] and [[Hocine Benmiloudi]]). In the final, they were defeated by [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] by a score of 3–0. In the [[1982 African Cup of Nations]], Algeria finished fourth and qualified for the [[1982 FIFA World Cup]].<br /> <br /> ====World Cup 1982====<br /> The [[1982 FIFA World Cup]] saw one of the great World Cup upsets on the first day with the 2&ndash;1 victory of Algeria over reigning European Champions [[Germany national football team|West Germany]]. This famous result for the Algerians put the Germans in grave danger of failing to qualify for the next round. This led to many people believing that the final match in the group between West Germany and [[Austria national football team|Austria]] was fixed, as Algeria had already played their final group game the day before, West Germany and Austria knew that a West German win by 1 or 2 goals would qualify them both, while a larger German victory would qualify Algeria over Austria, and a draw or an Austrian win would eliminate the Germans. The fourth team in the group, [[Chile national football team|Chile]], were eliminated regardless of the outcome. After 10 minutes of all-out attack, West Germany succeeded in scoring through a goal by [[Horst Hrubesch]]. After the goal was scored, the two German-speaking teams went into an unspoken agreement and just kicked the ball around aimlessly for the rest of the match. Chants of "''Fuera, fuera''" ("''Out, out''") were screamed by the appalled Spanish crowd, while angry Algerian supporters waved banknotes at the players. [[West Germany v Austria (1982)|This performance]] was widely deplored, even by the German and Austrian fans who had hoped for a hot rematch of the [[1978 FIFA World Cup]] match in which Austria had beaten West Germany. One German fan was so upset by his team's display that he burned his German flag in disgust.<ref>{{cite news |first=Lawrence |last=Booth |coauthors=Smyth, Rob |title=What's the dodgiest game in football history? |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2004/aug/11/theknowledge.sport |work=guardian.co.uk |publisher=Guardian News and Media |date=11 August 2004 |accessdate=25 February 2009 }}</ref> Algeria protested to FIFA, who ruled that the result be allowed to stand, but events led to FIFA introducing a revised qualification system at subsequent World Cups in which the final two games in each group were played simultaneously.<br /> <br /> ====World Cup 1986====<br /> In 1984, Algeria took third place in the [[1984 African Nations Cup]] in [[Côte d'Ivoire]]. During the [[1986 African Nations Cup]], the national teams recorded two defeats and one draw and was eliminated in the first round. In [[Mexico]], at the [[1986 World Cup]], the Algerians were not able to pass the first round once again in a group that included [[Northern Ireland national football team|Northern Ireland]] (1–1 draw), [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] (1–0 loss), and [[Spain national football team|Spain]] (3–0 loss). Only one Algerian managed to score during this competition: [[Djamel Zidane]]. From thereon, Algeria failed to qualify for another [[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] until 2010.<br /> <br /> ====Africa Cup of Nations 1990====<br /> In 1990, Algeria hosted the [[1990 Africa Cup of Nations]]. In Group A, the Algerians started the tournament by beating [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]] (5–1, with doubles by [[Djamel Menad]] and [[Rabah Madjer]] and a goal by [[Djamel Amani]]), [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] (3–0, with goals by Djamel Menad, [[Tahar Cherif El Ouazzani]], and [[Cherif Oudjani]]) and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] (2–0, with goals by [[Djamel Amani]] and [[Moussa Saib]]). In the semi-finals, Algeria beat [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]] 2–1 (goals by Djamel Menad and Djamel Amani in front of 85,000 fans in the [[Stade 5 Juillet 1962]].<br /> <br /> In the final against [[Nigeria national football team|Nigeria]], in front of 200,000 fans in the same stadium, [[Cherif Oudjani]], in the 38th minute, enabled Algeria to win the [[African Nations Cup]] for the first time. Djamel Menad was crowned top scorer of the competition with four goals.<br /> <br /> ===1990–2008: The walk through the desert===<br /> Having won an [[African Nations Cup]] title, the Algerian team, however, had not managed to qualify for the [[1990 FIFA World Cup]] in [[Italy]]. In 1991, the national team won the [[Afro-Asian Cup of Nations]] against [[Iran national football team|Iran]]. As title holders, Algeria disappointed at the [[1992 African Nations Cup]] in [[Senegal]], recording a loss against [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] (3–0) and a draw against [[Congo national football team|Congo]] (1–1, with a goal by [[Nacer Bouiche]]). In 1994, Algeria was disqualified from the [[1994 African Nations Cup]] in [[Tunisia]] due to the use of an ineligible player and failed during the [[1994 World Cup]] qualifiying.<br /> <br /> In 1996, Algeria returned to [[1996 African Cup of Nations|African Cup of Nations]], but were eliminated by hosts [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] in the quarter-finals. The Algerians failed to qualify for the following [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]] in [[1998 World Cup|1998]], [[2002 World Cup|2002]] and [[2006 World Cup|2006]]. During the [[1998 African Cup of Nations]], Algeria finished last in its group with three defeats and was eliminated in the group stage. In the [[2000 African Cup of Nations]], the ''Fennecs'' managed to pass to the first round only to lose to [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon]] (2–1). Algeria once more failed to pass the first round in the African competition in [[2002 African Nations Cup|2002]] but managed to get to the quarter-finals in [[2004 African Cup of Nations|2004]]; however, they were eliminated by [[Morocco national football team|Morocco]] by a score of 3–1 after extra-time (the lone Algerian goal was scored by [[Abdelmalek Cherrad]]. Algeria failed to qualify for the following two [[Africa Cup of Nations]] in [[2006 Africa Cup of Nations|2006]] and [[2008 Africa Cup of Nations|2008]].<br /> <br /> ===World Cup 2010 qualifiers===<br /> On 11 October 2008, Algeria returned to the top 20 African teams by finishing first in their group ahead of [[Senegal national football team|Senegal]], [[Gambia national football team|Gambia]], and [[Liberia national football team|Liberia]] for the second round on the combined [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|2010 World Cup and 2010 African Cup of Nations qualifications]]. In the third and final round of the [[2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|qualifiers]], Algeria was joined by [[Zambia national football team|Zambia]], [[Rwanda national football team|Rwanda]], and [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]]. In July 2009, Algeria made their return amongst the world's top fifty after a 3–1 win against the double African champions [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]] and a 2–0 away win against Zambia. Beating Zambia in [[Blida]] 1–0 followed by a 3–1 win against Rwanda, Algeria ensured that the qualification for the World Cup would go down to the wire with a final encounter against Egypt in [[Cairo]], where nothing less than a loss by three goals would stop the ''Fennecs'' from going to [[South Africa]]. This run of results also saw Algeria move to the 29th position in [[FIFA]] ranking – one place behind Egypt in the October 2009 ranking. In November 2009, they beat fierce rivals Egypt in a playoff [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup in South Africa]] and moved to the highest [[FIFA]] ranking ever reached by Algeria (26) in December 2009.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/8367431.stm|title=Yahia sends Algeria to World Cup |date=2009-11-18|work=BBC Sport|accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://soccernet.espn.go.com/report?id=285045&cc=5739|title=Yahia cracker seals play-off win|date=2009-11-18|work=ESPN|accessdate=2009-11-19}}</ref><br /> <br /> They were drawn in Group C, where they will face [[England national football team|England]], the [[United States men's national soccer team|United States]], and [[Slovenia national football team|Slovenia]]<br /> <br /> ===Africa Cup of Nations 2010===<br /> <br /> The team put on a mixed performance in the [[2010 Africa Cup of Nations|tournament]]. Being drawn in Group A, with [[Angola national football team|Angola]], [[Malawi national football team|Malawi]] and [[Mali national football team|Mali]], Algeria started poorly by losing 3-0 to group outsiders Malawi. However, they improved in the following game against Mali, beating them 1-0 thanks to a [[Rafik Halliche]] header. In the last match, they drew 0-0 with Angola, which sent them to the second round, finishing with the same amount of points as Mali, but with a superior head-to-head record. Playing in [[Cabinda]], Algeria faced [[Côte d'Ivoire national football team|Côte d'Ivoire]] in the quarterfinals, who were considered heavy favourites to qualify. But they got a historic win. After trailing 1-0, [[Karim Matmour]] equalized, but [[Abdul Kader Keita|Keita]] gave the Ivorians the lead in the 89th minute, which seemed to be the end of the line. However, they equalized with [[Madjid Bougherra]] in added time, and [[Hameur Bouazza]] gave the Fennecs the lead in extra time. Their opposition in the semi-final was their bitter rivals, [[Egypt national football team|Egypt]], in their first meeting since their [[2009 Egypt–Algeria World Cup dispute|World Cup qualification play-off]]. Egypt won 4-0.Which was the biggest defeat in the history of both teams meetings.Egypt then went on to win the cup against Ghana.<br /> <br /> ==Honours==<br /> :'''World Cups:'''<br /> <br />

The team currently play in the Football League Two, after securing promotion from the [[Conference National|Conference]] [[2008–09 Football Conference|2008-09 season]]. <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> The town of Burton has had a chequered history of football clubs, partly due to the area's main sport traditionally in the past being rugby union. Many former Burton teams have struggled financially. Albion can claim lineage from [[Burton Swifts F.C.|Burton Swifts]], Burton Town, [[Burton United F.C.|Burton United]], and [[Burton Wanderers F.C.|Burton Wanderers]], who were all defunct football clubs in the town. Burton Albion (nicknamed "the Brewers", given that brewing is one of Burton's principal industries)<br /> were formed in 1950, and joined the [[Birmingham & District League]].<br /> <br /> Albion began life at the Lloyds Foundry ground on Wellington Street, but high attendances meant that the club quickly searched for a more suitable home. [[Eton Park]] was built off Derby Road and officially opened on 20 September 1958, coinciding with their promotion to the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]]. From then until its demolition in 2005, the Brewers played all of their home games at Eton Park. <br /> <br /> They have also had spells in the [[Northern Premier League]] (NPL), due to their location in the central Midlands. They entered the Conference in 2002 upon winning the NPL title.<br /> <br /> Eton Park was dismantled to make way for housing, as the club had just completed a new stadium, at a cost of £7.2 million. It is situated directly opposite Eton Park and was named the [[Pirelli Stadium]], situated as it was a short distance from Pirelli's factory in Burton. The stadium has an increased capacity, firstly set at 6,200, but then later raised to 6,912. The first match played there was a friendly between Burton Albion and [[Chester City F.C.|Chester City]] on Saturday 16 July 2005. <br /> <br /> One notable result at the ground was a 0&ndash;0 draw in the [[FA Cup]] [[FA Cup 2005-06#Third Round Proper|third round]] against [[Manchester United]] on 8 January 2006. The result of the Third Round replay, lucratively played at [[Old Trafford (football)|Old Trafford]], was a 5&ndash;0 win for Manchester United in front of over 11,000 Brewers fans. This constituted a record number of away fans seen at Old Trafford<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4612320.stm</ref>.<br /> <br /> Since their FA Cup success, Burton have competed in the upper reaches of the Conference. The Brewers attained their highest ever league position to date in [[2007-08 in English football|2007&ndash;08]], finishing in the end of season play-off places for the first time in their history, before losing in their play-off to [[Cambridge United]]. As of April 2009, they were top of the [[Conference National]], setting a league record for the most consecutive wins in a row. This is despite losing the services of manager, [[Nigel Clough]], to [[Derby County]] with [[Roy McFarland]] installed as caretaker manager until the end of the season. When the team was 19 points clear at the top of the table, Conference sponsors Blue Square declared Burton the winners of the 2008/09 title in a PR stunt in which they paid out all bets.

The team currently play in the Football League Two, after securing promotion from the [[Conference National|Conference]] [[2008–09 Football Conference|2008-09 season]]. <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> The town of Burton has had a chequered history of football clubs, partly due to the area's main sport traditionally in the past being rugby union. Many former Burton teams have struggled financially. Albion can claim lineage from [[Burton Swifts F.C.|Burton Swifts]], Burton Town, [[Burton United F.C.|Burton United]], and [[Burton Wanderers F.C.|Burton Wanderers]], who were all defunct football clubs in the town. Burton Albion (nicknamed "the Brewers", given that brewing is one of Burton's principal industries)<br /> were formed in 1950, and joined the [[Birmingham & District League]].<br /> <br /> Albion began life at the Lloyds Foundry ground on Wellington Street, but high attendances meant that the club quickly searched for a more suitable home. [[Eton Park]] was built off Derby Road and officially opened on 20 September 1958, coinciding with their promotion to the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]]. From then until its demolition in 2005, the Brewers played all of their home games at Eton Park. <br /> <br /> They have also had spells in the [[Northern Premier League]] (NPL), due to their location in the central Midlands. They entered the Conference in 2002 upon winning the NPL title.<br /> <br /> Eton Park was dismantled to make way for housing, as the club had just completed a new stadium, at a cost of £7.2 million. It is situated directly opposite Eton Park and was named the [[Pirelli Stadium]], situated as it was a short distance from Pirelli's factory in Burton. The stadium has an increased capacity, firstly set at 6,200, but then later raised to 6,912. The first match played there was a friendly between Burton Albion and [[Chester City F.C.|Chester City]] on Saturday 16 July 2005. <br /> <br /> One notable result at the ground was a 0&ndash;0 draw in the [[FA Cup]] [[FA Cup 2005-06#Third Round Proper|third round]] against [[Manchester United]] on 8 January 2006. The result of the Third Round replay, lucratively played at [[Old Trafford (football)|Old Trafford]], was a 5&ndash;0 win for Manchester United in front of over 11,000 Brewers fans. This constituted a record number of away fans seen at Old Trafford<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4612320.stm</ref>.<br /> <br /> Since their FA Cup success, Burton have competed in the upper reaches of the Conference. The Brewers attained their highest ever league position to date in [[2007-08 in English football|2007&ndash;08]], finishing in the end of season play-off places for the first time in their history, before losing in their play-off to [[Cambridge United]]. As of April 2009, they were top of the [[Conference National]], setting a league record for the most consecutive wins in a row. This is despite losing the services of manager, [[Nigel Clough]], to [[Derby County]] with [[Roy McFarland]] installed as caretaker manager until the end of the season. When the team was 19 points clear at the top of the table, Conference sponsors Blue Square declared Burton the winners of the 2008/09 title in a PR stunt in which they paid out all bets. After that announcement in February, however, the club saw their lead reduced week by week, though they still secured promotion to the [[The Football League|Football League]], despite losing 2-1 away at [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] in the final game of the season when Cambridge United could only manage a goalless draw to [[Altrincham F.C.|Altrincham]].<br /> <br /> At the end of the season, it was decided that Roy McFarland would not stay on as the Burton manager in a permanent position. After a lengthy search, the club announced that [[Paul Peschisolido]] would become the club's new manager with [[Gary Rowett]] his assistant. Burton's first win in the Football League was a 5-2 win over [[Morecambe F.C.|Morecambe]] at the Pirelli Stadium.<br /> <br /> ==Current squad==<br /> :''As of 29 January 2010.''<br /> {{Fs start}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=1|nat=England|name=[[Kevin Poole]]|pos=GK}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=2|nat=England|name=[[Paul Boertien]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=3|nat=England|name=[[Aaron Webster (footballer)|Aaron Webster]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=4|nat=England|name=[[Michael Simpson (footballer)|Michael Simpson]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=5|nat=Wales|name=[[Tony James (footballer)|Tony James]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=6|nat=Ireland|name=[[John McGrath (Irish footballer)|John McGrath]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=7|nat=England|name=[[Darren Stride]]|pos=DF|other=[[captain (association football)|captain]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=8|nat=England|name=[[Andrew Corbett]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=9|nat=England|name=[[Shaun Harrad]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=10|nat=England|name=[[Richard Walker (footballer born 1977)|Richard Walker]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=11|nat=Ireland|name=[[Keith Gilroy]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{fs mid}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=15|nat=England|name=[[Ryan Austin (footballer)|Ryan Austin]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=16|nat=England|name=[[Russell Penn]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=17|nat=England|name=[[Jimmy Phillips (footballer born 1989)|Jimmy Phillips]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=18|nat=England|name=[[Greg Pearson]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=19|nat=Democratic Republic of the Congo|name=[[Jacques Maghoma]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=22|nat=England|name=James Knowles|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=23|nat=Jamaica|name=[[Cleveland Taylor]]|pos=MF|other=on loan from [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=25|nat=England|name=[[Tom Parkes]]|pos=DF|other=on loan from [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=26|nat=England|name=[[Steve Kabba]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=27|nat=England|name=[[Richard Jackson (footballer born 1980)|Richard Jackson]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=30|nat=Poland|name=[[Artur Krysiak]]|pos=GK|other=on loan from [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=33|nat=Benin|name=[[Remuald Boco]]|pos=DF|other=on loan from [[Sligo Rovers F.C.|Sligo Rovers]]}}<br /> {{fs end}}<br /> ===Out on loan===<br /> {{fs start}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=14|nat=England|name=[[Marc Goodfellow]]|pos=MF|other=at [[Kidderminster Harriers F.C.|Kidderminster]] for the season}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=20|nat=England|name=[[Guy Branston]]|pos=DF|other=at [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] for the season}}<br /> {{fs blank column}} <br /> {{fs end}}<br /> <br /> ==Club officials==<br /> *Chairman: '''[[Ben Robinson]]'''<br /> *Manager: '''[[Paul Peschisolido]]'''<br /> *Assistant Manager: '''[[Gary Rowett]]'''<br /> <br /> ==Notable former players==<br /> *[[Eddie Shimwell]] - former [[England national football team|England]] international; first full-back to score at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]].

The team currently play in the Football League Two, after securing promotion from the [[Conference National|Conference]] [[2008–09 Football Conference|2008-09 season]]. <br /> ==History==<br /> <br /> The town of Burton has had a chequered history of football clubs, partly due to the area's main sport traditionally in the past being rugby union. Many former Burton teams have struggled financially. Albion can claim lineage from [[Burton Swifts F.C.|Burton Swifts]], Burton Town, [[Burton United F.C.|Burton United]], and [[Burton Wanderers F.C.|Burton Wanderers]], who were all defunct football clubs in the town. Burton Albion (nicknamed "the Brewers", given that brewing is one of Burton's principal industries)<br /> were formed in 1950, and joined the [[Birmingham & District League]].<br /> <br /> Albion began life at the Lloyds Foundry ground on Wellington Street, but high attendances meant that the club quickly searched for a more suitable home. [[Eton Park]] was built off Derby Road and officially opened on 20 September 1958, coinciding with their promotion to the [[Southern Football League|Southern League]]. From then until its demolition in 2005, the Brewers played all of their home games at Eton Park. <br /> <br /> They have also had spells in the [[Northern Premier League]] (NPL), due to their location in the central Midlands. They entered the Conference in 2002 upon winning the NPL title.<br /> <br /> Eton Park was dismantled to make way for housing, as the club had just completed a new stadium, at a cost of £7.2 million. It is situated directly opposite Eton Park and was named the [[Pirelli Stadium]], situated as it was a short distance from Pirelli's factory in Burton. The stadium has an increased capacity, firstly set at 6,200, but then later raised to 6,912. The first match played there was a friendly between Burton Albion and [[Chester City F.C.|Chester City]] on Saturday 16 July 2005. <br /> <br /> One notable result at the ground was a 0&ndash;0 draw in the [[FA Cup]] [[FA Cup 2005-06#Third Round Proper|third round]] against [[Manchester United]] on 8 January 2006. The result of the Third Round replay, lucratively played at [[Old Trafford (football)|Old Trafford]], was a 5&ndash;0 win for Manchester United in front of over 11,000 Brewers fans. This constituted a record number of away fans seen at Old Trafford<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/4612320.stm</ref>.<br /> <br /> Since their FA Cup success, Burton have competed in the upper reaches of the Conference. The Brewers attained their highest ever league position to date in [[2007-08 in English football|2007&ndash;08]], finishing in the end of season play-off places for the first time in their history, before losing in their play-off to [[Cambridge United]]. As of April 2009, they were top of the [[Conference National]], setting a league record for the most consecutive wins in a row. This is despite losing the services of manager, [[Nigel Clough]], to [[Derby County]] with [[Roy McFarland]] installed as caretaker manager until the end of the season. When the team was 19 points clear at the top of the table, Conference sponsors Blue Square declared Burton the winners of the 2008/09 title in a PR stunt in which they paid out all bets. After that announcement in February, however, the club saw their lead reduced week by week, though they still secured promotion to the [[The Football League|Football League]], despite losing 2-1 away at [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] in the final game of the season when Cambridge United could only manage a goalless draw to [[Altrincham F.C.|Altrincham]].<br /> <br /> At the end of the season, it was decided that Roy McFarland would not stay on as the Burton manager in a permanent position. After a lengthy search, the club announced that [[Paul Peschisolido]] would become the club's new manager with [[Gary Rowett]] his assistant. Burton's first win in the Football League was a 5-2 win over [[Morecambe F.C.|Morecambe]] at the Pirelli Stadium.<br /> <br /> ==Current squad==<br /> :''As of 29 January 2010.''<br /> {{Fs start}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=1|nat=England|name=[[Kevin Poole]]|pos=GK}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=2|nat=England|name=[[Paul Boertien]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=3|nat=England|name=[[Aaron Webster (footballer)|Aaron Webster]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=4|nat=England|name=[[Michael Simpson (footballer)|Michael Simpson]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=5|nat=Wales|name=[[Tony James (footballer)|Tony James]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=6|nat=Ireland|name=[[John McGrath (Irish footballer)|John McGrath]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=7|nat=England|name=[[Darren Stride]]|pos=DF|other=[[captain (association football)|captain]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=8|nat=England|name=[[Andrew Corbett]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=9|nat=England|name=[[Shaun Harrad]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=10|nat=England|name=[[Richard Walker (footballer born 1977)|Richard Walker]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=11|nat=Ireland|name=[[Keith Gilroy]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{fs mid}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=15|nat=England|name=[[Ryan Austin (footballer)|Ryan Austin]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=16|nat=England|name=[[Russell Penn]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=17|nat=England|name=[[Jimmy Phillips (footballer born 1989)|Jimmy Phillips]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=18|nat=England|name=[[Greg Pearson]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=19|nat=Democratic Republic of the Congo|name=[[Jacques Maghoma]]|pos=MF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=22|nat=England|name=James Knowles|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=23|nat=Jamaica|name=[[Cleveland Taylor]]|pos=MF|other=on loan from [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=25|nat=England|name=[[Tom Parkes]]|pos=DF|other=on loan from [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=26|nat=England|name=[[Steve Kabba]]|pos=FW}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=27|nat=England|name=[[Richard Jackson (footballer born 1980)|Richard Jackson]]|pos=DF}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=30|nat=Poland|name=[[Artur Krysiak]]|pos=GK|other=on loan from [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]]}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=33|nat=Benin|name=[[Remuald Boco]]|pos=DF|other=on loan from [[Sligo Rovers F.C.|Sligo Rovers]]<br /> {{fs end}}<br /> ===Out on loan===<br /> {{fs start}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=14|nat=England|name=[[Marc Goodfellow]]|pos=MF|other=at [[Kidderminster Harriers F.C.|Kidderminster]] for the season}}<br /> {{Fs player|no=20|nat=England|name=[[Guy Branston]]|pos=DF|other=at [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] for the season}}<br /> {{fs blank column}} <br /> {{fs end}}<br /> <br /> ==Club officials==<br /> *Chairman: '''[[Ben Robinson]]'''<br /> *Manager: '''[[Paul Peschisolido]]'''<br /> *Assistant Manager: '''[[Gary Rowett]]'''<br /> <br /> ==Notable former players==<br /> *[[Eddie Shimwell]] - former [[England national football team|England]] international; first full-back to score at [[Wembley Stadium (1923)|Wembley]].

As in 1994, he played in all of Cameroon's matches, but though the team's performances were improved in comparison to 1994, once again they were eliminated at the group stage, after beating [[Saudi Arabia national football team|Saudi Arabia]], drawing with [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Ireland]] and losing to [[Germany national football team|Germany]].<ref name="Guardianobit"/><ref name="Indyobit"/><br /> <br /> Foé made a return to the English Premier League when he was loaned to [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] for the [[2002-03 in English football|2002–03 season]], Manchester City paying a £550,000 fee for the loan.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/s/15/15328_foe_signs_for_city.html | title = Foe signs for City | publisher = Manchester Evening News| accessdate = 2007-12-16}}</ref> He made his City debut on the opening day of the season in a 3–0 defeat against [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]].

On 26 June 2003, Cameroon faced [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] in the semi-final, held at the [[Stade de Gerland]] in [[Lyon, France|Lyon]], [[France]].

Numerous tributes to his joyous personality and infectious humour were expressed in the media.

[[David Beckham]] transferred from [[Manchester United]] to [[Real Madrid]] a week later with one of the reasons he took squad number 23 being in memory of Foé<sup></sup>. At Manchester City's ground; the [[City of Manchester Stadium]] there is a small memorial to him in the stadium's memorial garden, and on the walls of the players' tunnel are plaques paid for by supporters, with their names, dubbed the Walk of Pride. The first plaque on the wall is for Marc and reads "Marc Vivien Foé - 1975 - 2003". His first club ([[Racing Club de Lens]]) has given his name to an avenue near the [[Stade Félix Bollaert|Félix Bollaert Stadium]]. Foé was given a state funeral in Cameroon.<ref name="State funeral for Foe"/><br /> <br /> [[Olympique Lyonnais]] also decided to withdraw the number 17 shirt that Foé wore a year before when he played in [[Stade de Gerland]] with the Lyon team. People in Lyon were shocked as he had received a warm welcome on his return to the stadium. However since the transfer of fellow Cameroonian [[Jean Makoun|Jean II Makoun]] to Lyon, the number 17 shirt will be used by Makoun, who stated on wearing the number: "In memory of Marc, for me and for the whole Cameroon, this will be for something."<br /> <br /> Prior to the kick-off of the [[2009 FIFA Confederations Cup]] final between the USA and Brazil, his son, now fourteen years old, gave a brief speech in memory of his father.<br /> <br /> ==Career statistics==<br /> {{Football player statistics 1|YN}}<br /> {{Football player statistics 2|FRA|YN}}<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 1994-95|1994-95]]||rowspan="5"|[[RC Lens|Lens]]||rowspan="5"|[[Ligue 1|Division 1]]||15||3||||||||||||<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 1995-96|1995-96]]||19||2||||||||||||<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 1996-97|1996-97]]||28||2||||||||||||<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 1997-98|1997-98]]||18||2||||||||||||<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 1998-99|1998-99]]||5||2||||||||||||<br /> {{Football player statistics 2|ENG|YN}}<br /> |-<br /> |[[FA Premier League 1998-99|1998-99]]||rowspan="2"|[[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]]||rowspan="2"|[[Premier League]]||13||0||0||0||0||0||13||0<br /> |-<br /> |[[FA Premier League 1999-2000|1999-00]]||25||1||0||0||3||0||28||1<br /> {{Football player statistics 2|FRA|YN}}<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 2000-01|2000-01]]||rowspan="2"|[[Olympique Lyonnais]]||rowspan="2"|[[Ligue 1|Division 1]]||25||1||||||||||||<br /> |-<br /> |[[Division 1 season 2001-02|2001-02]]||18||2||||||||||||<br /> {{Football player statistics 2|ENG|YN}}<br /> |-<br /> |[[FA Premier League 2002-03|2002-03]]||[[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]]||[[Premier League]]||35||9||1||0||2||0||38||9<br /> {{Football player statistics 3|2|FRA}}128||14||||||||||||<br /> {{Football player statistics 4|ENG}}73||10||1||0||5||0||79||10<br /> {{Football player statistics 5}}201||24||||||||||||<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ==Honours==<br /> ===Club===<br /> *'''[[Ligue 1|Ligue 1 Championship]]: 2'''<br /> **1998, 2002<br /> <br /> ===Individual===<br /> *'''[[FIFA Confederations Cup|Confederations Cup]] Bronze Ball''': 1<br /> **[[2003 FIFA Confederations Cup|2003]]<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[List of footballers who died while playing]]<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist|2}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.sitercl.com/Fichejo/F/foemv.htm History, stats and pictures of Marc-Vivien FOE]<br /> *[http://www.marcvivienfoe.com/ Marc Vivien FOE : Actualité]<br /> *[http://www.just-football.com/2009/06/marc-vivien-foe-most-indomitable-of.html Marc-Vivien Foe: The Most Indomitable of Lions (Just Football)]<br /> *{{soccerbase|14272}}<br /> *[http://www.soccercityfc.com/2008/06/marc-vivien-foe-tribute.html A Tribute to Marc-Vivien Foe: 5 Years On]<br /> *[http://sportsvideo24.com/Highlights/tag/marc-vivien-foe] Marc Vivien Foe R.I.P<br /> {{Cameroon Squad 1994 World Cup}}<br /> {{Cameroon Squad 2000 African Nations Cup}}<br /> {{Cameroon Squad Confederations Cup 2001}}<br /> {{Cameroon Squad 2002 World Cup}}<br /> {{Cameroon Squad Confederations Cup 2003}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Foe, Marc-Vivien}}<br /> [[Category:1975 births]]<br /> [[Category:2003 deaths]]<br /> [[Category:Cameroonian footballers]]<br /> [[Category:Cameroon international footballers]]<br /> [[Category:Cameroonian expatriate footballers]]<br /> [[Category:Ligue 1 players]]<br /> [[Category:RC Lens players]]<br /> [[Category:Premier League players]]<br /> [[Category:West Ham United F.C. players]]<br /> [[Category:Olympique Lyonnais players]]<br /> [[Category:Manchester City F.C. players]]<br /> [[Category:Expatriate footballers in France]]<br /> [[Category:Expatriate footballers in England]]<br /> [[Category:1994 FIFA World Cup players]]<br /> [[Category:1996 African Cup of Nations players]]<br /> [[Category:2001 FIFA Confederations Cup players]]<br /> [[Category:2002 FIFA World Cup players]]<br /> [[Category:2003 FIFA Confederations Cup players]]<br /> [[Category:Footballers who died on the pitch]]<br /> [[Category:Filmed deaths in sports]]<br /> [[Category:Sport deaths in France]]<br /> [[Category:Canon Yaoundé players]]<br /> [[Category:Cardiovascular disease deaths in France]]<br /> <br /> [[ar:مارك فيفيان فويه]]<br /> [[ca:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[cs:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[da:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[de:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[es:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[fa:مارک ویوین فو]]<br /> [[fr:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[hr:Marc-Vivien Foe]]<br /> [[id:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[it:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[he:מארק ויוויאן פואה]]<br /> [[hu:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[nl:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[ja:マルク＝ヴィヴィアン・フォエ]]<br /> [[no:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[pl:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[pt:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[ru:Фоэ, Марк-Вивьен]]<br /> [[simple:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[sk:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[fi:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[sv:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[tr:Marc-Vivien Foé]]<br /> [[zh:马克-维维安·福]]</div>
