hey guys i need help with my last one to solve! i know very little about any sport and the clue is "The oldest football club on the planet! (nickname)"
it has 6 letters and the 4th letter is 'O'

any ideas would be great, thank you!

FIFA lists the world's oldest football club to be Sheffield Football Club, who play in the Unibond League Division 1 South, whose nickname is simply 'Club'. The oldest professional football league club is Notts County whose nickname is The Magpies. I appreciate that neither of the nicknames is apposite but I don't know where you are in the world and, for that reason and to clarify matters, I am talking solely about association football.

Sheffield are the oldest club and their nickname is the blades

No, Royston, Google Sheffield Football Club not Sheffield United [Blades] or Sheffield Wednesday [Owls].

Caravaggio is 100% correct on this one.

Apparently it is the DEMONS - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbourne_Football_Club">Melbourne Football Club! Australian rules, of course.

Well done, Big Dave. As you'll have probably noticed, I was mindful of the fact that we weren't necessarily talking about association football. By the way, did you know that Juventus copied Notts County's strip? There's quite a story involved there! Regards, Caravaggio.
