Blyth Spartans?

Correct, well done. Blyth won eight FA Cup ties in 1977/8 and were cruelly robbed of a ninth by a linesman dropping his flag during a corner late in extra time (which was cleared) and from the retake Wrexham equalised. Wrexham won the replay 1-2 in front of 45,000 at St James Park. I won't ask for the list of Blyth's other opponents!

Be surprised if someone doesn't get this. I didn't know the answer so googled it and the guy came from Hazel Grove, Stockport.

William Garbutt, manager of Genoa and three times Scudetto winner between 1915 and 1924. Not bad for an ex-pro who retired to Genoa to work on the docks.

The "father of Italian football" our Willy was called, he went on to manage Roma and Napoli before moving to Spain where he won the title with Athletico Bilbao. In 1937 he went back to Italy and managed AC Milan before being expelled by Mussolini .
