Oh and Preston North End? and you're from Southend. Is there some sort of conspiracy there?
All of the above is correct, but one of those runner-up seasons stands out among the others. First to declare it correctly wins the floor.
I was reading up on early seasons of the football league earlier. That is where the question came from. Remember that other North End clubs have existed before, such as Glossop North End; even Bury nearly became Manchester North End at one point.
