Guess the football team!

[GroundZero]

In this game, you'll be posting clues about a football team and others will try to guess it!

Here are the game's rules:

• The team you choose to make others guess must be playing in the top three tiers of its League. This means, for example, if you want to pick a team from England, it must be from either the Premier League, the Football League Championship or the Football League One. The same rule applies for all leagues.
• No off-topic posts. If you want to suggest something about the game, PM me
• If the person who answered correctly does not post a clue in 24 hours, then anyone can take the turn.
• If 48 hours have passed since the clue giver gave the last clue, then anyone can take the turn
• You can pass your turn, but you cannot guess in the following one.
• You must explain your clues after someone has guessed correctly.
• You can guess only once per clue.
• You should post a new clue after 3 incorrect guesses or if 12 hours have passed since the last guess was posted.

 

I'm going to start off with the first clue. Good luck!
Clue #1: Shamrock

clue 2 - dogs

 

Huddersfield Town?

 

If you don't mean first division titles.

yes it was my local hometown team

but actually

 

they won 3 first division titles in a row in the 1920s

1923-24

1924-25

1925-26

the first team to win 3 top flight (first division) championships in a row, a hat-trick, 3 in a row.

now I know in a match a hat-trick is not 3 goals in a row but in other sports and other contexts a hat-trick is 3 in a row

 

and clue 2 - they are nicknamed the terriers, terrier is a type of dog

Bullsh*t! I want justice! A hattrick is just 3, never mind the "in a row" bit. You should have stipulated you meant 3 in a row. It doesn't matter what other sports do, (btw I've never heard other sports say a hattrick is only 3 in a row) because this is football. In football, it's just 3 under any circumstances!
