Football 1. The first 10 were quite easy, London, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester Sheffield, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Falkirk. Really struggling on an 11th, could it be Stoke, although is Port Vale in Stoke, more of a potteries than an out and out Stoke derby in the way the others are? 2. Eric "Kung Fu" Cantona 3. Tough one this, here goes, Jay Bothroyd, Kevin Phillips, James Beattie, David Nugent, Kevin Davies err.... cannot think of any more Cricket 1. Doug jardine 2. Marcus "Bangers" Trescothick 3. Joe Root Bristol 1. There and back again Lane? (I did consult a map) History 3. I do believe it was Brizzle's very own Isambard Brunel
Doh how could I have missed Liverpool... I am also sure there are 2 teams from Falkirk, them and East Stirling, so that's your 11 as to me Stoke does not count
Yep your correct East Stirling was once a village north of Falkirk, but it is now a suburb of Falkirk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Stirlingshire_F.C.–Falkirk_F.C._rivalry
East Stirling no longer play in Falkirk I knew they had moved but what I hadn't realised was they had moved in with Stenhousemuir so there should have been 12.
East Stirling Moved out of Falkirk 2 or 3 years back only just up the road granted but as I posted it is not in Falkirk now.
