They were one of the 12 original founding members of The Football League in England and in 1894 reached the final of the FA Cup but lost 4-1 to Notts County.

But they went down right after one season and immediately re-climbed the ladder to steal into the Premiership once again. Bolton have been playing in the Premier League since the 2001-2002 season and played in 2005-2006 played in the UEFA Cup for the first time in their history and reached the last 32 stage.

Bolton Wanderers bear the nickname the Trotters and foster massive rivalry with Manchester United and Manchester City.
