Do you not remember what Bristol City and Coventry did to us
I hope I am in Sunderland the day Jimmy Hill passes away!
I'd go with BBWBrown's Bristol City. I was going to include Glossop North End for a similar symbolic reason. I just feel the PL is so awash with money these days that we're in danger of it becoming a heartless, soulless place where every damn thing can be bought. The only club ever to have taken the FA Cup out of England, playing in their proud blue shirts (Cardiff City, 1927) can now have a red shirt foisted onto them for the whim of a foreign rich man. The name of a club who for nearly a century was the largest city in Europe never to have had a top class football club, and went crazy when they finally got promotion, can have City ripped off them, and get called Tigers. One of the most famous grounds in England can have St. James' Park taken away and be called Sports Direct Stadium or whatever grubby little name it has now. Anything and everything can be bought and to hell with the fans. I'm delighted for Bournemouth this year, just as I was delighted for e.g. Hull, Barnsley, Bradford, Swindon, Millwall &co. and I want there to be always a couple of places for the shocker. It just keeps a little bit of heart, a bit of soul, for a league that could otherwise easily lose it. So I'll pick all the usual suspects plus Bristol City and Glossop North End.
Ha yeah maybe I came across wrong. I'm not saying I love bankers or lawyers either but when money and high paid jobs come into a city it brings in other professions and the effect has a trickle down effect. I really like Leeds but I also agree with people that cities like Manchester are better.

Too young to remember that mate, my parents absolutely despise both those teams though!
