For Lincoln City's current first-team players, see current squad.
Lincoln City Football Club, an English association football club based in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, was founded in 1884,[1] and first entered the FA Cup in the 1884–85 season.[2] When nationally organised league football in England began, the club joined the Combination, a league set up to provide organised football for those clubs not invited to join the Football League which was to start the same year. When that league folded,[3] Lincoln became one of the founder members of the Midland League, and won the inaugural league title. They then spent a year in the Football Alliance before being elected to the newly formed Second Division of the Football League.[2] Lincoln moved in and out of the Football League until they became founder members of the Football League Third Division North in 1921.[4] They remained in the Football League until 1987, when they became the first club to suffer automatic relegation to the Football Conference.[5] They returned to the League after just one season, remained at that level until they were again relegated in 2011, and returned once more in 2017.[2]
