Northampton Town Football Club is a football team based in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England. They are currently in Football League One, and play at the Sixfields Stadium since moving from the County Ground in October 1994.
The club was formed in 1897 by a group of teachers and is nicknamed the Cobblers due to the town's shoemaking history. They usually play in claret and white, and their main local rivals are Peterborough United, a rivalry which has endured since the 1960s.
Northampton Town have spent one season of their existence in the top division of English football, in 1965-66 when they were relegated from the First Division after just one season. In 1970, they lost 8-2 to Manchester United in the F.A Cup third round. Six of the goals conceded were scored by George Best, who received the match ball (signed by Northampton players) as a reward for his performance.
