Pub football trivia questions

[Tyre Smoke]

You know the sort of thing, how many clubs in the top five English leagues start and end with the same letter? How many clubs with an 'x' in their name? And one of my favourites in the top four English leagues, name five 'Rovers'.

Liverpool, Northampton Town, Aston Villa and now York City back in the National League.
Used to be Halifax, Wrexham, Exeter, Crewe Alexandra.
Bristol, Tranmere, Doncaster, Blackburn and the one everyone forgets, Forest Green.

So, what else have you got?

You forgot Oxford United!

And the five league teams that have the same letter appearing four times in their name? (Kidderminster Harriers used to be another in the past, 4 x r )

You're right! So sorry.
