    Nope, not Blackpool. Much smaller and going back a fair number of years.

    That's the one Stan. Glossop North End were in the first division for about 4 seasons at the beginning of the 20th Century - with only 33,000 inhabitants Glossop is the smallest town to have had a team in the top tier of English football. I'm not sure of this but their ground may also have been the highest above sea level as well.
    Over to you - or rather back to you.

    Correct. At World Cup finals
    Strolls beat you to it.

    There are also a bunch of players who represented both Yugoslavia and the countries that Yugoslavia broke up into, but I didn’t count them.

    Six teams have been knocked out unbeaten in World Cup Tournaments - who are they, and when?

    Well one is England in 1982. The others must be from those tournaments around then when they played two group stages instead of knockout, so they’ll come from the 74, 78 and 82 finals I’m guessing, but would have to resort to Google for the names.
