You forgot Barry Town...Originally played in the Southern League and when the LOW was formed they were told they would not be allowed to be based in Wales while playing in an English League and ended up basing themselves out of Worcester...Barry would go on to head back to Wales, join the Welsh System, they became the first full time professional in the LOW before going into freefall and Meltdown...Some of the teams you mentioned became known as the Irate Eight when the League System was formed in Wales and some of the Welsh Based English League Teams were exiled to places in England.
One of my ancestors played for a team called Mid-Rhondda just after the 1st World War...Jimmy Seed was injured after being gassed in France, he cane back to Sunderland and was given a free transfer from Roker Park, after Mid-Rhondda he would goto Spurs and Sheff Wed, was capped by England and the famous Herbert Chapman gave him his management break at Clapton (Now Leyton) Orient, they were a Nursery for Arsenal. Jimmy Seed would go onto become Charltons most successful ever manager
Heres a question for ya Bazza...
