When Was Burton Albion Football Club Founded?

Burton Albion Football Club was founded in 1950.

The club began playing in the Birmingham and District League in the 1950/51 season.

In 1958, Burton Albion joined the Southern League, but has also found success in the Northern Premier League. In 2002, Burton Albion became Champions of the Northern Premier League and were promoted to the Conference National.

Fans of Burton Albion call the club by the nickname of 'Brewers' due to Burton-on-Trent's historic links with the brewing industry.
