A long shot.. is the answer to 5 'Field'?

Crawley- BroadFIELD
Gillingham- PriestFIELD
Mansfield- FIELD Mill
Northampton- SixFIELDS

Barrie Davis · Jun 14, 2020

Not such a long shot - they DO all play in 'fields'. Well done.

Okay, I'll try another one. The clubs in question 2 all started out as church teams.

You're on a roll.

Their original names all had references to saints:

St. Lukes FC

Bobby Charlton, Alan Ball, Nobby Stiles, Duncan Ferguson

Umm, something to do with smoking loadsa tabs? I'm not sure about Ball but I seem to remember that the other three were notorious cigarette smokers during their playing careers.
