Bury Football Club are an English association football team based in Bury, Greater Manchester. The team are currently playing in Football League Two.
The club was formed in 1885, and took a lease on a pitch at Gigg Lane, which remains their home today. In 1889 they were founder members of the Lancashire League, before joining the Football League Second Division in 1894, which they won at the first attempt. They beat Liverpool in a play-off to clinch promotion to Division One.
Bury won the FA Cup twice, in 1900 and 1903. The latter win was achieved without conceding a goal in the entire competition, including a record FA Cup Final score of 6-0 over Derby County.
They are nicknamed 'the shakers' as an offshoot from the Religious Society of Friends, the shaking quakers, originated from around Bury in the North West of England.
