The English League One



As you all know, League One is a part of The Football League. The "Coca Cola" logo is their because Coca Cola is their current main sponsor. Over the years, this league had various name changes. It was called Division Three(from 1920-1921), Division Three North/South(from 1921-1958), Division Three(from 1958-1992), Division Two(1992-2004) and since then, it is called The Football League One.

The rules are similar to typical football and English Leagues. There are altogether
24 teams competing in this league. Promotion to The Championship is the same as how to get promoted to the Premier League from The Championship.

Here are the teams currently in The Football League One:
  1. Brentford
  2. Brighton & Hove Albion
  3. Bristol Rovers
  4. Carlisle United
  5. Charlton Athletic
  6. Colchester United
  7. Exeter City
  8. Gillingham
  9. Hartlepool United
  10. Huddersfield Town
  11. Leeds United
  12. Leyton Orient
  13. Millwall
  14. Milton Keynes Dons
  15. Norwich City(Champions of 2009/10 season)
  16. Oldham Athletic
  17. Southampton
  18. Southend United
  19. Stockport City
  20. Swindon Town
  21. Tranmere Rovers
  22. Walsall
  23. Wycombe Wanderers
  24. Yeovil Town
The teams from this league are usually underestimated by the top teams of England. Probably the most shocking defeat was Manchester United(current English Premier League Champions) against Leeds United where Manchester United lost to Leeds.
