All Time Positive Goal difference in the Top Flight

Post by Rick_Muller » Tue May 30, 2023 11:16 am

Can anyone name all the clubs with a POSITIVE goal difference in the history of the top flight (without googling)

There are a total of 9 in the Premier League history (assuming the source I'm reading is correct) and there are a total of 13 in the "all time" top flight including the Premier League (again assuming my source is correct)

Read something the other day saying Stoke City have the longest negative goal difference in English league history. They went behind after ten minutes of their first fixture on the first day of the football league and haven’t recovered since.
