I will concede, on reflection, that there are 7 ADDITIONAL last names in Scotland, not 6. I think. Also, due to the source I used listing Stevenage BOROUGH as simply Stevenage, there are 21 last names in England. Apologies. I am appropriately ashamed...

I think Stevenage have dropped the Borough bit actually.

Fair enough. Looks like Borough is out and it’s still 20 in total.
Ok, spoiler alert if still playing, but if you’re wondering, here are the 20 (+ 6 7 in Bonnie Scotland)...
England:
Albion Alexandra Argyle Athletic City County Dons End Forest Hotspur Palace Rangers Rovers Stanley Town United Vale Villa Wanderers Wednesday
+ additional Scots names:
Academical Fife Midlothian Morton Park South Thistle
Incidentally, until recently we also had:
Orient Redbridge
which could feasibly be back next year, or we may see some new additions like:
Moors (Solihull Moors) Waterlooville (Havant and Waterlooville) Wood (Boreham Wood - yes, two words)
There are plenty of other unique names in the divisions below the National league, so we’ll be waiting at least 2 years for any of those. Which leads me to a follow up question....
There’s another last name that has been in the football league this century which is now floundering 2 divisions below the league, in the 6th tier. Can you name the team?
Yeah, I agree - I didn’t count it originally because I, (like you I think,) viewed East Fife as a similar case to St Mirren, for example. But I didn’t explicitly say East Fife wasn’t allowed, hence I added it in later.
