THE X FACTOR
You know the "X" factor question about how many Football League clubs can you name with an "X" in their name. These days there are no longer 5.
Now: only Crewe Alexandra (often forgotten), Oxford United, Exeter City
Once also: FC Halifax Town (not known as this at the time) and Wrexham AFC, now Non-League.
