    A nice little fact for you all - Manchester United, formally Newton Heath, was started by employees of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway and they use to play on whats now Manchester Piccadilly station :)

      Are you sure? London Road was built around 1847, Newton Heath, as was, only formed in 1878 and played around Moston and Clayton before the move to OT.

      Yeah they started out on North road which is next to where they worked until 1893 when they moved to Bank Street in Clayton.
