Highest Finishes of Teams Not to Play in English Football's Top Flight

Another football quiz if anybody would like to have a go. There are seven minutes to try and get the 20 answers.

Thirty teams have finished in the top 12 (these days the top half) of the second tier without ever playing in the First Division/Premier League. Ten of these clubs no longer exist and are greyed out. The season(s) in which each team achieved their highest finish are shown, ranging from 1892–93 to 2006–07.

A couple of the answers are teams currently in the Championship, and another seven have played under the "Championship" name - most of the 20 have played in the second tier since 1992. Also, the image below is helpful in getting one of the answers if you recognise who he is!

Thanks again. I got 12 but really should have done much better!

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Crazy to think how close Cambridge were to the prem in 1992. Imagine the Abbey Stadium hosting Man United

Southend had a good season too, challenging for the play-offs most of the season, despite unrest behind the scenes. Football across East Anglia was in a good place around then. Col U had just come up from the conference too.

Good quiz that, 13/20 for me

I suspect that would have been harder if we hadn't had a spell in League One

Alcohol is the answer but I can't remember the question!

14/20 - please with that.

I'm thinking the trick is to think geographically, rather than alphabetically? I started doing that and got 4 in the last minute.

The least guessed one, currently on 1%, I actually thought of, but thought its 2nd to 4th letters were 'ant' (with the fifth letter in the actual answer missing). Annoying, dat.

Could be argued that Town took on Southend at their highpoint, and having beaten them, started their long descent.

on New Year's day in 1992, Southend Utd demolished Newcastle 4-0 in a rather unusual lunchtime kick off, briefly putting the Shrimpers top of the 2nd tier. After 3 more good results, their form then collapsed & they lost 10 of their last 16 matches, including the memorable 1-2 loss at home to Champion chasing Town & they finished the season in 12th place, still their highest ever League placing.

Thanks very much indeed for all the attempts and comments on this.

I did wonder if the time limit was enough but it seems to have worked out okay.

Very well done to anybody who has managed to get those two obscure answers!
