Which division has clubs with the largest amount of different letters... starting the club names?

example; Arsenal and Aston Villa.. are both A = ONE letter

West Ham, Wolves Wigan... are all W = but only ONE letter

..........so which divison has the most different letters and ..if you're gonna guess..also try to say how many different letters... you think are used.

 

No cheating! ..use your brain and not a website. If you're still sane by Wednesday, I'll publish the result...if those guys in the white coats let me back to the keyboard...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that along the way this thread was hijacked by some others who were too busy..or couldn't be bothered to start their own thread...

but anyway ....the correct answer to the above is :

 

League 1 has 24 teams who between them use 15 different letters at the start..

B C D E H L M N O P R S T W and Y

 

as for the rest; CCC uses 13 letters and L2 has 14.

The Prem. of course with 20 sides uses only 11 diff.letters.

 

With only 3 days left...there isn't much more nonsense that you can think up....

Generally these threads result in someone getting really bored, giving up on the original question and posting another, which results in most people forgetting the original question. I'm on the edge of my seat.

Give the name of a player which links Saints to each league club. Not sure if that will relieve boredom, but there you go.

 

Matt Le Tissier - every club would've loved to have him. :-)

 

Silvia Saint - Czech porn actress and a bit of a player - same reason as MLT. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvia_Saint

 

Burridge got around a bit, but I think EVERY league club would be stretching it...

According to wikipedia he got round (deep breath)

Aston Villa

Blackpool

Crystal Palace

Darlington

Derby County

Lincoln City

Manchester City

Newcastle United

Northampton Town

Notts County

QPR

Sheffield United

Southend United

Wolves

 

So that's 14 of the 92 accounted for (and that's just his current League sides) plus of course Saints.

 

Fitz Hall adds just Barnet, Oldham Athletic and Wigan to that list. Any more suggestions of well travelled ex-saints?

 

My own name off the top of my head Frank Worthington adds

Bolton Wanderers

Birmingham City

Brighton and Hove Albion

Hudderfield Town

Leeds Unted

Leicester City

Preston North End

Stockport County

Sunderland

Tranmere Rovers

 

So in 3 players we have 27 of the 92. What next?

And Ted MacDougall - a suggestion from a bloke at work - adds

Bournemouth

Liverpool

Manchester United

Norwich City

West Ham United

(plus a few duplicates of course)

 

4 players - 32 clubs... Any more journeymen out there?

I wonder if we can do the 92 in 11 Saints players? Peter Shilton in goal of course :)

 

Leicester City

Stoke City

Nottingham Forest

Derby County

Plymouth Argyle

Wimbledon

Bolton Wanderers

Coventry City

West Ham United

Leyton Orient

 

Give us another 4 clubs (although I don't think he started a match for Wimbledon or Coventry)

LOL .... I wasn't being serious :scared:

 

The Fitz Hall reference was just a play on his name Fits All as a funny ha ha answer to the question linking every club :rolleyes:

 

I reckon Carlton Palmer has played for quite a few teams ... add him to the list if you wish!!
