History
• Though they can trace their origins back to the end of the 19th century, Lyon in their current form were founded by a group of local enthusiasts as late as 1950. Local surgeon Albert Trillat suggested the team's name and that the players wear the city's colours of red and blue; a year later the club won the French second division.

• Lyon
spent the bulk of the next 30 years in the top flight, winning the
French Cup three times and revelling in the exploits of Jean Djorkaeff,
Nestor Combin and the hero of the 1960s, Fleury Di Nallo. Until recent
years, those cup exploits were Lyon's only major honours, the club
spending a long period in the shadows of local rivals AS Saint-Étienne.
•
After losing several key players towards the end of the 1970s,
including Bernard Lacombe and Raymond Domenech, Lyon were relegated in
1983 after 29 years in the élite division.
• The gloom was lifted
with the arrival of ambitious young software magnate Jean-Michel Aulas
in 1987, the new chairman promising to get Lyon into Europe within four
years. They met that target too, after first securing promotion under
Domenech in 1988/89, and with Florian Maurice and then Sonny Anderson
grabbing the goals they started making headway in the UEFA Cup and UEFA
Champions League.
• With Jacques Santini at the helm, Lyon lifted
the League Cup in 2000/01, a triumph that presaged a sustained era of
success. They claimed their first ever Ligue 1 title the following
season and went on to pick up six more in a row as a succession of
coaches, including Paul Le Guen and Gérard Houllier, profited from the
club's excellent organisation behind the scenes.
• Lyon reached
the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals three years running between
2004 and 2006 and surpassed that feat in 2009/10, losing against FC
Bayern München in the last four.
