Can't believe I missed this thread. I obviously had rather more of a life in 2006.
Dorset is a moot point. Bournemouth is a unitary authority, historically in HAMPSHIRE but was part of Dorset between Local Government reorganisations of 1974 and 1997. So it qualifies under the Ever, ever classification.
The Isle of Wight is a ceremonial and non-metropolitan county. Since the abolition of its two borough councils in 1995 and the restructuring of the county council as the Isle of Wight Council, it has been a unitary county.

... BUT ... until 1889, the Isle of Wight was part of the administrative county of Hampshire. And it was part of the ceremonial county of Hampshire until 1974 (in the sense that one Lord Lieutenant was appointed as Her/His Majesty's representative to cover the whole area).
Incidentally ... from 1889 until 1959, the administrative county we know as "Hampshire" was officially called the County of Southampton.
That must be because Crawley is in West Sussex.
My argument for Brighton & Hove Albion to be East Sussex is that for most of its existence the Goldstone was in East Sussex before Brighton & Hove were amalgamated.
Northumberland (if you ignore Newcastle United) had Ashington as founder members of the old Division 3 North.

Like f**k it is!!!!! It's in Devon. And I would defy any of you to go down there and tell the good folk of Plymouth that it is in Cornwall!!!

Plymouth theoretically is in Devon, but in a practical sense, it's in between the two.

God for a Geography geek this thread is annoying!
Plymouth IS IN DEVON! (not theoretically inbeetween the two - what on an island in the Tamar??). Kidderminster (Harriers) is in Worcestershire. Love the start of the thread - like a load of Village idiots shouting random counties at each other
It's a bit tricky though with all these new fangled counties...
