List of Burnley F.C. records and statistics

Burnley Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Burnley, Lancashire. Founded on 18 May 1882, the club was one of the first to become professional (in 1883), putting pressure on The Football Association to allow professionalism. As a result, the club was able to enter the FA Cup for the first time in 1885–86, and it was one of six Lancashire clubs in the twelve founding members of the Football League in 1888–89. Burnley have played in one of the four professional levels of English football from 1888 to the present day.[1]

Jerry Dawson holds the record for most Burnley appearances, with 569

Burnley have been champions of England twice, in 1920–21 and 1959–60, have won the FA Cup once, in 1913–14, and have won the FA Charity Shield twice, in 1960 and 1973. They have been runners-up in the First Division twice, in 1919–20 and 1961–62, and FA Cup runners-up twice, in 1946–47 and 1961–62. Burnley are one of only five teams to have won all four professional divisions of English football, along with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Preston North End, Sheffield United and Portsmouth.

The record for most games played for the club is held by Jerry Dawson, who made 569 appearances between 1907 and 1928. George Beel scored 188 goals during his Burnley career, and is the club's record goalscorer. Jimmy McIlroy made 51 appearances for Northern Ireland and so is the player who has gained the most caps while with the club. The highest transfer fees paid by the club are the £15 million paid to Leeds United and Middlesbrough for Chris Wood and Ben Gibson in 2017 and 2018 respectively, and the highest fee received is the £25 million paid by Everton for Michael Keane in 2017. The highest attendance recorded at Turf Moor was 54,775 for the visit of Huddersfield Town in a third round FA Cup match in 1924.

All records and statistics are correct as of the 2018–19 season.
