Tranmere Rovers

Founded in Birkenhead in 1884 as Belmont FC and renamed Tranmere Rovers the following year, the club has played at Prenton Park since 1912. It was a founder member of the Third Division North in 1921 and won that division in 1937-38, and reached three consecutive first-division play-off semi-finals in the 1990s under John King. Tranmere also reached the 2000 League Cup final, losing to Leicester City.
