Here are the answers anyway.

1) Nottingham Forest, Boston United, Peterborough United, Macclesfield Town, Southend United, Wycombe Wanderers, Bournemouth.
2) Portsmouth (Lib Dem).
3) Blackburn Rovers (Jack Straw), Norwich City (Charles Clarke).
4) Sheffield Wednesday (David Blunkett), Sheffield United (Richard Caborn)
5) Fulham (Iain and Chris Coleman).
6) Kidderminster Harriers (Independent, Kidderminster Hospital and Health Concern).
7) Bradford City (Terry Rooney).
8) Manchester United (1996 - the 1997 final was two weeks after the election).
9) Charles Clarke (Steve, Chelsea 1997), Paul Boateng (George, Aston Villa 2000), Paul Murphy (Danny, Liverpool 2001), Gordon Brown (Wes, Man Utd 2004).
10) Ray Wilson, Ian Callaghan, Mark Chamberlain. To complete the picture, the other non-Labour 'football constituencies' are: Portsmouth, Leicester City, Chesterfield, Colchester United, Torquay United, Cheltenham Town, Yeovil Town (all Lib Dem), Kidderminster Harriers (KHHC), Shrewsbury Town (Labour defected to Lib Dems).

Peterborough is a Labour seat!!
