Every English Football League Club Ending in “City”
Can you name the clubs that have appeared in England’s Football League since its inception in 1888 to have had names ending in “City”? The “Town” version of this quiz can be found here, the “United” version here, the “Albion”, “Athletic” or “County” version here and the “Rovers” or “Wanderers” version here.
Five of these teams did not have the word “City” within their names at the time they joined the Football League.
As of the 2023/24 season, two of these teams compete below the Football League, as does the phoenix club of another of the teams listed. One other team no longer exists, though its successor club is a present-day member of the League.
Two of the answers are clubs that are not based in England!
My other football quizzes can be found here, and all of my quizzes can be found together here.
Leeds City has not existed for many, many years, the city's team has been Leeds United in living memory - I'm also not sure about Salford City, although I suspect it was an earlier incarnation of Manchester United.
That’s certainly true, with United being set up as a replacement club following City’s expulsion from the Football League in 1919, but this quiz covers all clubs to have played in the League since its formation in 1888, not just present members.
And Salford have played in League Two since they were promoted from the National League in 2019.
