I FOOLISHLY MENTIONED A FEW DAYS BACK THAT THERE HAD BEEN A NUMBER OF CLUBS (35) THAT HAVE BEEN IN ALL FOOTBALL DIVISIONS; PL + EFL. Of course this stirred up the Hornets nest (yes Watford included), One person took the trouble to join in the game, Here are my findings bearing in mind that the top flight of English football has been shuffled a round a bit since 1888. Do add/take away if you find a flaw!
A list of all football clubs that have appeared in ALL the old Football League (Divisions One -Four) levels and/or the newish hierarchy including the FA Premier League through to the Football League etc. Their achievements may include being part of the following top FOUR "divisions/leagues" in English Football (it is possible to have been in five tiers):
Barnsley, Bournemouth, Blackpool, Bolton W, Bradford City, Bradford PA, Brentford, Brighton, Bristol City, Burnley, Bury, Cardiff C, Carlisle, Coventry, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Grimsby, Huddersfield, Hull C, Leyton O, Luton, Millwall, Northampton, Preston NE, Reading, Sheffield Utd, Swansea, Watford, AFC Wimbledon(Wimbledon), Notts County, Oldham A, Oxford Utd, Portsmouth, Swindon,Wigan A, Wolves,
1888-92 Football League: First Champions, Preston NE.
1892-1920 First Division and Second Division: First Champions,Sunderland.
1920-1 First Division, Second and Third for one season: Champions Burnley.
1921-58 Football League (First winners Liverpool), Second and Third North and Third South Division.
1958-92 Football League First (First Winners Wolves), Second, Third and Fourth Division.
1992-2004 Premier League (winners Manchester Utd), First Division (first champions Newcastle Utd), Second Division, Third Division .
2004-Present Premier League, Championship (First Championship winners, Sunderland), League One, League Two.
The next question is: which clubs have played in 5 divisions of the "Football League" Div 1,2,3N,3S,4 or maybe all 6 including PL?
