I haven't got a clue about any of these, honestly. I'm going to take a punt on Newport for 3 though, as Edinburgh was there for a bit. If not, then it's probably a Scottish club. Motherwell, maybe? Wasn't Butcher there recently?
I'm finding it hard to believe that someone played extensively for Newcastle and Sunderland, won titles and isn't dead. Is it a unicorn? As for the first team relegated, how about the first team? Notts County? Won't be anyone from the South, as they weren't allowed in the league. Haven't heard it mentioned, so it might be a smaller club.
