I believe Dan Dierdorf is from Canton, OH originally. And coincidentally enough, he attended the University of Michigan.

Only franchise no longer in existence to have won an NFL championship?
How about the Canton Bulldogs?

Nope on both.

Jim Brown. I don’t know if he actually worked on the building but I know he’s from Canton.

He was born on St. Simons Island, Georgia, and moved to Manhasset, New York, at the age of eight. As far as I know, he never lived in Canton.

Just to get it over with:

Never mind. I was thinking of Alan Page - there was a SportsCentury bit about how he was harrassed in an IHOP or somesuch, and I thought it was about Brown.

R5: (Rugby Union) Where did England play most of its home international matches before Twickenham Stadium was built?

Crystal Palace?

CRSP1 (Association football): There’s over 90 teams in the English Premiership, Championship and Divisions 1 and 2. Yet, these teams collectively only use 23 endings in their club names (United, City, etc.). Name them.

[Really_Not_All_That_Bright]

Crystal Palace is correct.

CSRP1: Albion, Argyle, Rovers, Wanderers, (Football) Club, United, City, Forest, Athletic (Club), Town, Wednesday, Rangers*, Harriers, Hotspur… and I’m out. That’s 14.

*I think Bromsgrove are the Rangers, but I don’t know if they’re even in D2 anymore. Also, they might just be the Rovers.
