From League Two to the Premier League - The 100 most valuable British clubs
British football is pretty special. It boasts one of the most unique and strongest football pyramids in world football, with four professional divisions in England from League Two to the Premier League. Add to that the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Championship, and even the Northern Irish sides playing in the League of Ireland Premier Division and there is a huge abundance of British clubs. Even the majority of teams in England's fifth tier of the National League are now professional.
