So with the success of the Chicago Cubs I was wondering who has the longest drought in English football. Of course with the various Cups, Shields and Trophies, plus play offs and promotion most clubs achieve something with regularity. Therefore I restricted my research (looking through Sky Sports Yearbook), to actually winning Leagues (including Conference and below). So on this basis the 5 longest droughts in the 92 FL clubs are
Crewe, Rochdale and Hartlepool - All have been in the League since 1921 and have never won a title.
Blackpool last won (Division 2) in 29-30.
Barnsley won D3N in 54-55
Of current Premier League clubs, Southampton's last League title (Div 3) in 59-60 just edges Spurs in 60-61
