Wolves have actually won 5 levels as they won the third division and third division north in the days when the third tier was split north & south and the fourth division hadn't even been invented. I really enjoyed the seasons in the third & fourth divisions with Wolves as we got to go to a whole lot of new grounds. With a few exceptions, home fans are also friendlier to visiting supporters in the lower tiers.

Great Story although tragic. Not many football fans would know about this.

Interesting video Sam, thanks! I remember Carlisle's one season in the top flight as my team, Luton Town, were promoted with Carlisle the previous season and relegated with them and (surprisingly) Chelsea, a year later. Spurs narrowly avoided the drop in 1974/75 by winning their last match and finishing just one point ahead of Luton.

A strange but true fact is in 1982, the season Sheff United went on to win the 4th division title they played Bradford City on a cold February night in front of 24,593 at Bramall Lane. The same night reigning champions, reigning European Champions and league leaders Liverpool were playing a division 1 league match at home to Birmingham City in front of 24,224. Hard to believe that any team in the bottom division could attract more than Liverpool playing on the same night when they were in their pomp winning everything.

Two of those clubs have won a major English trophy. That being Barnsley who won the FA Cup in 1912 while in Division 2 and Swindon Town who won the League Cup in 1969 while in Division 3

This is a tragic tale but thank you for helping us all learn about this man

Really harsh on Crewe....the'yve only been Football League members for 132 years and 10 of those were lost to the world wars ....so they've only had 122 attempts, not 150.....give them a chance!

I'm your 500th subscriber

Portsmouth(my team!) in addition to having won all four major league titles, are also the only club to have achieved THAT, and won the FA Cup in both the old AND the new Wembley stadiums.....as we know, five teams have won the four titles, and some clubs have won the FA cup at both old and new Wembley stadiums, but the only club to have achieved both of these two feats is Portsmouth......... and if you want odd facts.. Portsmouth(good old Pompey!!) held the FA Cup for longer than anyone else in football history, from 1939 to 1946..(mind you, there was a small matter of the Second World War which intervened along the way...) also the record attendance for an FA Cup final at the new Wembley is still held by Pompey, being the 89,874 for the 2008 final vs Cardiff City......also the record attendance for the Checkatrade cup final at Wembley also involved Pompey, 85,021 vs Sunderland......in addition, the only league football match in history without a single corner kick to either side was between Portsmouth and Newcastle United, and that game, unsurprisingly ended as a 0-0 draw.... the very first league match to be played under floodlights was also between Pompey and Newcastle United, both of these events taking place at Fratton Park in the early 1950's....and Portsmouth's great Jimmy Dickinson played 764 league games, more than 80 cup games, and 48 England international games and never once in that entire illustrious career did he receive a booking or sending-off.....we also hold the record for the highest number of goals scored in a Premier League match when we beat Reading 7-4 in Sept 2007.....Pompey till I die!!!

Nice you took my video suggestion cheers.

Poor old Leyton Orient.

Northampton's was a real rags to riches and then back to rags story. Starting in the 4th division they were promoted in 1962, 1963 and 1965, then relegated in 1966, 1967 and 1969 to end up where they'd begun. In their first season back in the 4th they had a decent FA Cup run that saw them reach the last 16 - only to be drawn against Manchester United and a George Best returning from suspension with a point to prove - which he did in emphatic style by scoring six goals in an 8-2 victory.

I didn't have any of these clubs on my radar for such distinct accomplishments! You found a really neat statistic!

Glossop really and I really thought Swindon spent 2 or 3 seasons in the prem. I thought Barnsley only spent 1 season in the top flight. Shows how much I am.

Wolves have won all 4 divs , FA cup, League Cup and several other random trophies !

Being a Crewe Alex fan at the beginning of any new Season we always expect to win something,but alas it never doesJohnstones paint victory was best time when we won that I was there on that day .

Who is the only club to have played in 6 divisions of English football ?

A yank telling us about football,not soccer,fed up with you lot trying to turn football into a circus like them 2 actors at Wrexham,and why you follow sunderland ?

There was a team from France I remember called AC Arles who went from the CFA 2 to Ligue 1 in just five seasons, they got promoted four times in a row to achieve this.

This video will upset a few people no doubt.

Burnley were the last to win the 4th division title before the Premier League started, so technically we’re still reigning champions 😂.

A good video. I'm really enjoying your content. My favourite American Goalkeeper has to be Kasey Keller, because I'm a very biased Leicester City fan

I certainly hope so too!!! Ha'way the lads!

Top flight is top flight no matter name you call it..and bottom tier is 4th division..end of…like football wasn’t invented in 1992 when sky appeared on the scene 🤷‍♂️

Blade here i have watched Sheffield United since 1967 and it's been a roller coaster i can tell you.Hats off to all 5 teams.Another interesting fact when the Blades got relegated to the old Division 4 in 1980-81 they had a plus goal difference of 2 scored 65 conceded 63.It may have been done before when they used goal average but it is quite unusual.

How about a video about the club that never played old Division One but played in the Premier League?

I support Walsall even though my Scottish Side (Annan Athletic) has done more to justify their existence. Like supporting Walsall is a Sisyphean task out of want more than anything. Like they slide the rock to the top of the hill and they just let it drop. There's no drive, there's no passion, there's seemingly no point to Walsall. I struggle to foresee any side with less wanting of success than Walsall. You could replace Walsall with seemingly any side to ever exist, you could bring in Old Etonians and you'll see more of a successful football side. I support them but I don't know why? Like if they cared, if Walsall had any pathy in the slightest that'd be something but they're apathetic, they're slackers, they're scrubs. Anyway, I've supported them for 2 decades now, I hate Wrexham with a passion now. The entirety of Wrexham are morally destitute prostitutes and so is Canada. Like Annan, Annan, this side, this side had no means of survival, should've been relegated, but they fought and they fought and they somehow survived by conceding like 3 less goals than the opposition, that's excitement, that's meaning, that's football. Walsall could never do that. Walsall could never excite. (This has been the sporting equivalent of absolute negging, I say I support someone and then say absolutely nothing positive.)

Up the Alex! 😀

My guess before watching was Wolves, Burnley, Preston, Blackpool, Notts County. Blackpool not really as close as I thought - Notts County have won the lower three but never finished higher than third in top division

Bradford have been in the Premier League 99-2001

You could argue AFC Wimbledon should have inherited Wimbledon's honours, so would have an FA Cup win in 1988. Not officially though.

"There are fewer teams back then." Are you sure about that? Back in the day, they had 24 teams per league, and even top-flight have as much as that.

I'm a Spurs fan but the "only non league team to win the FA Cup (after The Football League was established)" isn't the great achievement it's sometimes made out to be. There was very little between The Football League and The Southern League at that time; Southampton of the Southern League were also FA Cup finalists in 1900 and 1902.

AFC Wimbledon inherited the history of the original Wimbledon FC so atleast from my personal perspective AFC Wimbledon has the greatest league 2 history

Very intresting vid. I'm still shocked Preston haven't been in the Prem before (They made the championship playoffs consistantly during the 2000s but never got through).

It’s so lucky that Rochdale and Hartlepool had just relegated 😂 they don’t even have trophies out their region.

never heard of glossop.....the club i mean. A fall from grace!

Grimsby Town have never won a major trophy but they had many seasons in the top flight and got to a couple of FA Cup semis too during their time there. They finished as high as 5th in the top flight on one occasion.

The defunct clubs who could also lay claim to this stat, if they still existed, are Darwen and Accrington (not Stanley, a different club entirely.) Bury mentioned in several other posts.

Attendance of only 13. Stockport, around 1912. That's before I watch the article.

I remember when 3 teams got successive promotions in the same seasons from the old Div 4 all the way to Div 2, and 2 of them - Southend United and Cambridge United - actually led the table some months into the next season. Southend led around the turn of the year and Cambridge were top for a number of weeks and made the play-offs. The other team involved, Grimsby Town, also had a decent enough season and were never in much danger of going down.

Bradford City have been in the Premier League. At the turn of the century!

Liking the look of that jersey for no particular reason at all 🤣🍒

Wolves fan here. I’ve supported them for the last 45 years and it’s rarely boring. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🐺

I guess miracles happen eh?

Are Bradford Park Avenue still a club. I obviously know Bradford are but not sure about the former

Love football...hate corrupt money grabbing premier league. Just a money making gimmick that hopefully will one day go bankrupt 😂

Interesting video. I was aware of Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers but I didn't know about the others.

blimey, i got 8 of them, i missed glossop(i wouldn't have known that) northampton town i forgot, i do recall their solitary 60s campaign, bradford PA, wasn't sure they'd been in the old first division, i also named the original Accrington FC(totally different club to both versions of Stanley who've never been in the top flight) i'm sure Accrington were still in the top flight when it became the first division after about 4 seasons? certainly they were in the original 12 of the football league, it would appear i'm wrong though!

Like the Gers top u have on
