Founder Members of the English Football League

Can you name the 12 clubs that competed in the first season of the Football League in 1888/89?
One of these clubs no longer exists. Another later added “City” to its name.
All of these clubs are/were located in the Midlands or North West of England.

Hi Mike.

Accrington is the club that no longer exists - the current Accrington Stanley and the previous Stanley (1891-1966) are different to Accrington F.C. (1878-96), the team that is listed here.
