Vale of Leven and Renton were both Scottish Cup Finalists in the late 19th century.
Well Morton have morphed into Greenock Morton much to the shock of some on the cowshed.Tin hat on with two chin straps but there is a body of opinion in Glasgow that holds Rangers are now a new outfit, Runs for cover lol
Way back in the 1960`s I remember Barrow being in the FL.
Just going slightly off topic,but I remember watching Wigan Athletic way back in the 1960`s in the then Cheshire League.well teams that were with us in D2, Macclesfield, Lincoln (now shot back to fame), Wrexham, York.
Teams in D1 that year included Bury, Oxford, Crewe, Stockport, Swindon, Tranmere, Grimsby, Bradford who finished 2nd that year. D3 had Halifax, Scarborough, Chester, Darlington. You can tell where the money went as it flooded in the game because the Football League seemed to be a lot more northern back then.
Hereford being a piece of piss to get to, of course. ;-)
More recently Rushden and Diamonds, bankrolled by the bloke behind Doc Martens boots, faded back to obscurity as quickly as they rose.
