Not sure Orient or Northampton were in Div 1 were they? Good shout if they did. I thought Carlisle had a couple of seasons in the 70’s, but could be wrong.

Good start.
Carlisle were top of the league after three games, but went down. The season they were in top division, Man Utd were in second division.As a Reading supporter I don’t recognise Swindon were ever in the first division, but fortunately it was one season. Oxford had a good team in the 80’s, won the league cup or whatever it was called then. Definitely more than one season. John Aldridge was their star forward.
Barnsley another good shout.
Those were the three teams I knew, but two more I thought would have been in top tier more than one season.

Orient and Northampton definitely did - Carlisle maybe more than one ? But seen their name before with this type of question. No idea about any others- trying to think of non league teams that could have been up there
Wrexham? I can remember them being a good cup team in the 70's, Mickey Thomas era. Did they manage a year in the top tier?

Fourth team were another southern one, that just missed out on another season in first division when pipped by Carlisle.
Fifth team has one of the best players ever to play for Reading as their manager.
Sixth team is the tricky one !

Can remember Wrexham during their cup runs but not in top league ?
Maybe someone like Bury , they did say something about Brentford returning to the top league last season so maybe them ?

Was thinking of weird teams that won the FA Cup, Wanderers, Royal Engineers, Old Etonians etc, even Queens Park played in the Cup, maybe one of them only had 1 season in top flight?

Bury won the FA Cup, so imagine they were in top tier more than one season ?

As Man Utd and Liverpool unveil plans to reduce the Premier League from 20 to 18 teams, football fans everywhere agree it’d be much better without them.

If you listen carefully you can hear Tom Finney turning in his grave at that suggestion ?

I can’t remember this team being in the league. Wasn’t even sure where the town was until I googled it.
