Interesting quiz. One typo: it's St Austell, not St Austrell.

Living in Cornwall, I was baffled why I couldn't get the answer. Obviously tried St Austell first and then any others that could possibly be a contender

Sorry I had the typo in there for 5 years. If it ain't in the Football League odds are I haven't heard of it...

Still says St Austrell (remember to resubmit the quiz). Good quiz though otherwise.

Excellent quiz, however the typo doesn't seem to have been fixed.
