Birch F.C. was an English rugby and association football club from Rusholme, founded in around 1870 as a club playing originally just the association code.
By 1878, the club mostly played rugby only, but in April 1878 played a friendly against Queen's Park because "it has lately been practising the dribbling as well as the Rugby game",[1] due to a former Queen's Park player (James Strang) joining the club. The club entered the FA Cup the next season, but scratched when drawn at home to Darwen.[2]
In 1879 the association part of the club broke away to form Manchester Wanderers[3] In 1881 Birch was a founder member of the Lancashire County Rugby Football Union.[4]
The club ceased to exist in the 1890s.[5]
Notable players
Thomas Slaney, the first Stoke City manager, guested for the team against Queen's Park.
