I’m going to have to go out on a limb and say West Bromwich Albion will certainly have one of, if not, the most promotions to the Premier League, they’re a Yo-Yo club

@EllisJC None - there was a team just called Wanderers

[@Evemeister12]

Oxford university often taught their opponents a valuable lesson

[@herbert9241]

'Wanderers' - because they didn't have a permanent home. They played at various grounds in and around London. They were in fact called Forest before they took the name Wanderers.
