    A new quiz to keep us going between week-ends:

    Three clues; 1 football related, one other sports related and one other clue.

    If no-one gets it, I'll post another 3 clues later.

    1. All four divisions were won by teams who are or have been in the premier League
    2. The Formula One crown was won by a Brazilian driver
    3. The first all female sextuplets were born


    FOR CLUES TO THE LATEST YEAR, GO TO POST NO. 18

    No, they didn't win Div 2 in 1977, and the other things aren't true either!

    Keep going...

    1. Southampton and Portsmouth were together in the same division...and remained there into the next year.
    2. A current Premier League team was saved from relegation from the Fourth Division of the Football League only by a vote.
    3. A longstanding European despot dies, ending a forty-year reign.
