Notable honours: FA Cup runners-up (2014), League One [+ predecessors] champions (65-66, 20-21) Hull had never (never!) made it into the English top flight until the perma-tanned Phil Brown took them up in 2008 with a playoff final win over Bristol City. Since then, they've had three separate spells in the Premier League – none of them lasting more...
Notable honours: FA Cup (2013), Football League Trophy (1985, '99) 'But Wigan's a rugby town!' 'But Wigan only became a Football League club in 1978!' 'But Wigan only just stayed out of League One last season!' All of these things are true(ish), but they've also had an eight-year Premier League run in this century and won an FA Cup within the last ...
Notable honours: Scottish League (1902-03, '47-48, '50-51, '51-52), Scottish Cup (1887, 1902, 2016), Scottish League Cup (1973, '92, 2007) One of Edinburgh's 'Big Two', Hibs have only spent seven years outside the Scottish top flight (in its own various incarnations) in the last century. During their longest absence (three seasons between 2014 and ...
Notable honours: FA Cup (1987) Not so much a fallen giant, more a fallen...6'2 bloke? A 30+ year run in the top division of English football capped by a win in one of the finest FA Cup finals in history had Coventry's place at the top table pretty well established in the minds of pretty much all English football fans over the age of 30. Then they w...
Honours: English First Division (1923-24, '24-25, '25-26), FA Cup (1922) History! So much history! The Terriers won three consecutive league titles back in the 1920s, and finished in the top two for five consecutive seasons. Of course, they haven't won a league title for the best part of a century now and have only spent four of the last 60-odd sea...
Honours: Scottish League (1894-95, '96-97, 1957-58, '59-60), Scottish Cup (eight times), Scottish League Cup (1954, '58, '59, '62) Hearts are pretty good at winning the Scottish Cup; with three wins and five runners-up spots since they last won the league title – which, by the way, is way too long ago. Edinburgh's biggest club have finished in the ...
It's time to be honest about something here. Location...really matters. If Charlton were a club of exactly the same history whose stadium was in deepest Durham, they probably wouldn't have made it into the top 50. But they're in London, and people like them, so they are. Sometimes it's thatsimple.
Honours: FA Cup (1988) [as Wimbledon FC] AFC Wimbledon have lost some of the kudos that would've come with being – y'know – actual Wimbledon FC, but they've retained more of it that MK Dons have. The Wimbledon of old were a cult club, the 'Crazy Gang' of the 80s and 90s regularly finishing in the top ten of the old First Division and winning a famo...
Honours: English First Division (1888-89, '89-90), FA Cup (1889, 1938) England's first league champions haven't been in the top flight since 1961, but also: they're England's first league champions. Reasonably but not extravagantly well-supported, reasonably regular fixtures in the second tier, Preston are just 'another club' now, albeit one with a...
Honours: Football League Trophy (1984) Ah, the lowest of our current Premier League sides. This is the Cherries' fifth consecutive season in the top flight – and just in case you needed a nudge on just how quick their rise was, they've only spent five seasons in the second tier in their history. They've got a tiny wee little stadium, but they're no...

- Man Utd. Manchester United are the most successful team in English football's Premier League era, with Sir Alex Ferguson helping to establish the club as the dominant force in the country.
- Liverpool. Prior to the Premier League era, Liverpool were the top dogs in English football, but the Merseyside outfit had to wait until 2020 to get their hands on their first Premier League title.
- Arsenal. While Arsenal's fortunes have declined since the latter half of the 2010s, particularly after the exit of Arsene Wenger, the Gunners were part of the traditional 'top four' and continue to be part of the 'big six'.
- Chelsea. Though not a traditional powerhouse in English football, Chelsea grew in stature in the early days of the Premier League and soon became a fixture of the 'top four' with Roman Abramovich's investment.
