1 - Sunderland done it in 1979, Villa done it in 1981, who done it in 1980 ?

2 - Name the 8 English cities that can have derby matches.

Are there 2 cities of Sheffield now Kev?

Damn, got there before me with Brooking, that's a classic quiz question.

Anyway, Birmingham as one of the missing cities. And I suppose Derby can have Derby matches too. ;D

There are other English cities that can have derbies, Oxford & Cambridge to name but two that spring readily to mind.

There are more than 92 football clubs, you know, milhouse :) ;)

Well said that man.........
AFC Wimbledon v Tooting and Mitcham Utd is the one for me. ;)

Sorry did you not understand the question Mark?

Oxford and Cambridge are different Cities, it isn't what locals call their derby game like Man Utd and Leeds it is teams in the same city. For example Liverpool and Everton are both in Liverpool.

Hmmm how did I write that down twice Tommo :( I did mean to write Birmingham of course ;)

KP, sorry old chap, but I'm afraid I have understood the question correctly. What I meant was that Oxford United v Oxford City would be a derby, as would Cambridge United v Cambridge City, not Oxford v Cambridge. My rather truncated answer left grounds for misinterpretation, however, I readily concede.

Milhouse had not specified that all the teams in question had to be members of the Football League, so I thought I'd try to sneak in a couple of additional (legitimate) answers that he might not have considered :)

I think KP was referring to me as the one who stole the point from under his nose, Q ................ ;D

.................and of course Oxford v Cambridge would be a varsity match rather than a derby game.

This particular thread is incredibly enlightening, as it provides an excellent example of how easily misconceptions can occur. :o

Appology Bernie how could I mistake you for Tommo ;)
Sorry Mark my mistake on that m8, as you say there are probably loads if you really think about it.

And for those who don't know, this game finished 1-1 on Saturday :(
Cambridge are still going to get relegated though ;D :D ;D :D

Never do a quiz unless you are prepared for the inevitable backlash!!!
