I need a bit more here Yorkie - how does he always arrive in Belgium and where (always the same place). Also why is there a political problem (PC) attached to the process ? Also the Belgian and Dutch variants of Sintaklaas always (according to tradition) comes from the same place - where ?

I'll give it to you Yorkie. He arrives by steamboat. in Belgium it is always in Antwerp (in the Netherlands this changes from year to year but always departs from Rotterdam when all is over). He arrives on the first Saturday after 11th Nov. - the beginning of the carnival period, and hangs around until 6th of December. The way he travels from town to town can be variable but he always enters towns on a white horse. The tradition of this was established by Spanish seafarers and, according to tradition, he comes from Spain. Hence the Zwarte Piet (Black Pete) - dressed as they suppose Moors were dressed. Recently political correctness has turned this into sooty Pete - with it being enough to dab a bit of soot on his face, thus establishing a connection with chimneys rather than anything racial.
Over to you.

Back to football - who or what is the connection between Watford FC and Leyton Orient, Aberdeen, Bordeaux and Cowdenbeath?
There is also a German club that could be added to the list - a club that plays in Oberliga Westfalen, the fifth tier in Germany. The club's name conjures up images of Kenilworth Road...
That wasn't the full list - it also includes Colwyn Bay, who have played in the Welsh Cup...
Yes - all founded in the same year. Over to you...
