    This used to be true years ago and probably still is. In the top four divisions in English football and the top four divisions in Scotland there is a letter of the alphabet which appears just once in the names of all those clubs. Which letter, and which club?

    Yes.

    Both clubs are English.

    I'll be honest. The way you phrased it has me stumped. If they're Premier League clubs, they'd have played in the Premier League :confused: what am I missing.

    Name the two English premier league clubs which have never played in the English premier league

    A sport related question
    Name the Welsh rugby player, not, according his team mates, an outwardly religious person, who famously declared that he religiously went straight into 'church' after every rugby match.

    As was correctly answered it was Gavin Henson
    For those young ones on here who did not get to joke, the Church that Mr. Henson referred to was his then girlfriend the singer Charlotte Church!
    Pat Kenny got caught out on that one live on radio.

    What European football club has the highest average attendance?

    Most people will say Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United. All incorrect.

    Another football one: Which two grounds in British football are the closest. Top 4 Divisions in England and Scotland only.

    Most people say Liverpool and Everton. Incorrect.

    Both actual quiz questions I have seen.
