Football Trivia

Been asked by a client of mine, we were chatting about Football in General, and he needs to know:
Which team has a crest on their corner flag? I have no idea.....

It's because they once won the FA Cup three years running in the 1800's

Above is correct. Think the story goes that when a team wins the trophy 3 times in a row they get to keep the trophy and another is produced. At the time Blackburn won the trophy the English FA was very short for cash so could not afford to replace the trophy. An agreement was reached where Blackburn were allowed to display their club crest on their Corner and Halfway Flags.
