Turning to the Gasroom knowledge base for some research here... Clubs who played European football while outside the top flight. Any anoraks got any advance on these I've got so far? Welsh clubs got very lucky that the Cup Winners' Cup was a thing and that they were allowed to qualify even if playing in the English pyramid.

Down a bit of a rabbit hole now. Some interesting stuff here https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/e6mxwu/teams_from_outside_of_their_nations_top_tiers/?rdt=39696
Shrewsbury Wrexham later tonight,
Almost counts as a Wycombe game.
On Sky?
Could be a decent watch. Well, as long as it's a Gaz masterclass.
Yes. Sky Sports Main Event
Shrewsbury and Wrexham really don't like each other, too. Come on GA!
Lovely, will have that on a 2nd screen as a minimum.
Come on Gaz give those Hollywood lot a good thrashing.
