Danny, there were 12 teams, the missing one from that list is a club called Everton. I'm not sure how or why Accrington became Stanley but they are generally acknowledged as founder members of the FL. Accrington have a terrible track record for teams going broke, the initial team folded in 1900-01, it was known as Accrington although the assets and personel came back immeadiately as Accrington Stanley, just try telling someone from Accrington that they were not founder members of the football league, its like asking someone from Hartlepool 'who hung the monkey'

My mate lives in Accrington, try telling them they the 1962 team was not connected to the original FL membership side. They have always maintained that they are from the original Accrington FL side, even when that side went bankrupt the press called them the original league members. The present Accrington has risen from the ashes team that went bankrupt in 1962 although they now have a separate stadium and company running it.

Absolutely correct, not many blues know that we got beat by Glasgow Rangers in our first ever cup tie, and yes we did cheat:lol: :lol:

Next question will follow this evening
 
Sod it, they this one

Name me the musician that was instrumental (pun intended) in Everton leaving Anfield and falling out with King John. Also what instrument did he play and where did he play it, they can get harder but this is a learning curve:lol: :lol: :lol:
 

am i right in saying john mckenna. i dont know his instrument but i have a feeling its a bugle seeing as he was an orangeman and probably played it on his marches
 
Sorry you are wrong on both counts, I'll post the answer when Chico is not about:P :P :P
