admira Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Can you name the 12 English and 6 Scottish clubs that have only done one of the following once since 1965? Finished in the top 3 of their respective top division or been in their domestic FA Cup final. Anon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Is there not a Welsh club in there? I take it they're counted as English in this because they play in the English league. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In - Wigan Athletic, Cardiff City, Norwich City Out - Portsmouth - I could be wrong, but haven't they been to 2 FA cup finals? - Blackburn - I feel sure they must've come 2nd or 3rd before winning it in 95. - Southampton - 1 FA cup final, but I have a sneaking suspicion they have a top three as well.

Eric the half a ram Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't Derby been top of the top division in England twice since 1965???? Rammy03, admira and JoetheRam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelBlimp Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Is it one of each, either or? I have to say the question lacks clarity. Clearly one of the answers is us. Cannot be Forest or Leicester because they've done both. Is that how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's fairly clear - have only done one of the following once since 1965. Therefore it can't be Derby as they have finished in the top 3 three times since then. So far correct: Wimbledon - 1988 FA Cup finalists Millwall - 2004 FA Cup finalists Coventry - 1987 FA Cup finalists Middlesbrough - 1997 FA Cup finalists Cardiff -2008 FA Cup finalists Wigan - 2013 FA Cup finalists Stoke - 2011 FA Cup finalists Norwich - 1993 - Finished 3rd top flight Gretna - 2006 Scottish FA Cup finalists Queen of the South - 2008 Scottish FA Cup finalists Ross County - 2010 Scottish FA Cup finalists Livingstone - 2002 Finished 3rd Scottish Premier League 4 more English and 2 more Scottish required. Hope this makes things clearer now. Edited June 9, 2022 by admira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Hull must be one. I think Ipswich might be there too. They must have got a top 3 to qualify for their UEFA cup win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
