Wolves have to be one and Im gonna take a stab at Preston North End & Portsmouth.
That is 3 of the 5 - well done. None of the other suggestions are correct. Notts County have never won the 1st division. Leicester have never dropped to the 4th and nor have Forest.

Ok, thanks.
Blackpool must be a good shout?
Just checked - they have never won the 1st division strangely enough. One of 8 teams to finish 2nd without getting a title - others are Bristol City, Oldham, Cardiff, Charlton, QPR, Watford, Southampton.

What about Leeds?
No - another team not to drop to the 4th division. You have to think of clubs that have had a really shit time over the years, not just shit enough to fall down to the 3rd (a few "big" teams have done that over the years)

I had wondered if the financial crisis might have been enough to drop them all the way down.

The last team was in the EPL as recently as last season.
Sheffield utd?
Yes that's the one. I don't think of them as a title winner - although 1897-1898 is a bit early even for me.
Preston v Burnley was the very first match of the first football league in 1888. Apparently they didn't think about points being awarded until after the game as they wondered how they would rank the teams in the league.
And not Preston are into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup to play Aston Villa - and those 2 were champions and runners-up in the very first season.

Preston away for us. A big fixture this in the late 19th century.

For anyone who didn't see this incident on Saturday - feel a bit sorry for the keeper here, he's going to get notoriety for only this.

That's a bit reckless.
