    That's him. She didn't win a gold.

    Top flight is the highest league in England (Currently called the Premier League) ans a season in the top flight is a Top Flight Season/

    I too didn't know what top flight meant and I know nothing about any kind of football, so I suppose we start listing football clubs....


    I'll guess Arsenal and go alphabetically from here.

    To me, it would be '1st Division'. Anyhoo, me dad's favourite team was Spurs, so I will suggest Spurs, though I bet I'm wrong. By the way, I just love those milk bottles. Wish we still had milk bottles.

    No not a right answer yet although Arsenal was close being the team that have been in top flight football without a break the longest. The team I have in mind has been relegated in it's history, however it is currently in the premier league. It has been in top flight football many many more seasons than any other.

    Not a soccer fan but I think there are clues in the above! Haven't Newcastle got some birdy nickname.......Magpies???? + "top flight"......must be right!

    Reminds me of the silence that had to be observed while my dad took down the football results on a Saturday night (dripping toast with marmite, in front of the fire). The one that always stuck in my head was: East fife 4, Forfar 5.

    Still not right folks. The team have won many honours both in English football and in Europe. BUT have never won the League Cup (Whatever it's name may have been at any time) They have the date 1878 on their badge.

    Everton

    Arsenal have held it for the longest unbroken run as Rubecula says, but Everton have been in top flight more years
