If the PL/First Division was made up of the 20 'biggest' teams of all time in England based on club history, domestic and European trophies, top flight history and fanbase, which teams would be in it?
My approximation (no, not the end of season 'table'), although I am sure I will be told some obvious teams missing:
City
United
Liverpool
Arsenal
Tottenham
Chelsea
Everton (these 7 teams pick themselves based on Premier League history alone)
Aston Villa
Nottingham Forest (both won European Cup)
Burnley
Blackburn
Stoke
Preston
Leeds
Wolves
Newcastle
Sunderland
West Ham
Leicester
Derby
So, I put these clubs forward as the 20 'biggest' in English football. Should there be more Yorkshire teams? Or any teams from Wales or the Southwest ?
