Football Trivia Question of the Day

Friday 2nd November 2012:

Who were the last of the twelve original 1888-89 Football League clubs to be relegated?
 
Villa were very successful early on. Most of the league titles and cups are more than 100 years ago. So I'll guess Villa.

I love that chart. Am I misremembering or do you have another version in the order the clubs entered the league (i.e. original twelve first)?

One suggestion. It would be easier to see transitions between divisions if the background colors were coded by color instead of the text. You could indicate champions by a brighter shade of the same color

Just checked the answer and your page about top flight records. Love your disclaimer about Arsenal!

Arsenal (1919-20 to 2012-13, 87 seasons), Everton (1954-55 to 2012-13, 59 seasons), and Liverpool (1962-63 to 2012-13, 51 seasons) are all correct, but not Manchester United.
 
The obvious candidates have been named or ruled out. From your question a few days ago, Villa just missed out (1888-1935/36?). None of the recently succeswsful clubs have had long spells in the top flight (Leeds, Forest, Chelsea).

I suspect it must be a club with early success. Maybe Sunderland.
