Which single town’s name can be put before the following suffixes - Swifts, United, Wanderers and Albion - to name teams which have played in the league (though never higher than the second tier)?

 

[Stroller]

Burton?

 

[sb_73]

Burton?

Very good. Albion the only survivors, the others defunct or merged pre WW1.

 

[Stroller]

Very good.

Only partially cheated. Burton Albion came to mind, so I googled Burton Swifts and found that they existed. That was good enough.

Bob Dylan?

Bob Dylan?

Dylan ludicrously won a Nobel prize but for literature, thus devaluing the entire thing in my opinion.

I’d guess that this is the odious god botherer Bono. Hopefully he hasn’t actually won any of them.

Definitely musical though.

There was an anniversary story of it last week...I'm guessing that's how Stroller picked it up....
