After their win over Fleetwood on Saturday, Notts join Port Vale as the only two clubs that have beaten all 91 league clubs in the four tiers.

    It’s great to see the club reach this milestone. I’d be interested to know which other team has managed the same. Notts should be proud to add this to the history books.

It’s another feather in our cap, and it shows how far we’ve come. The team deserves credit for it.

Port Vale completed the set (again) in April when they beat Bromley. I can imagine we had the whole set at some point in the past before we had two-up-two-down with the National League. Maybe we did it in 97-98 when we found ourselves in L2 for the first time in decades and met teams like Scarborough for the first time. I can't remember it ever being mentioned before though.

Let’s hope this doesn’t come with a curse, like when someone wins Manager of the Month and things go downhill after. Still, it’s a great record for the club to hold.

Not many teams have managed it, which makes it quite a rare achievement. That’s something to be proud of, especially for the players and staff who helped make it happen. Does anyone know which other club has done this? It’d be interesting to compare.

If you have any problems or concerns, feel free to send me a private message (PM). Always happy to help!
Please note: I’ll do my best to help, but some issues may need passing on.

Just one club. Port Vale.

This milestone goes beyond numbers. Notts joined Port Vale as the only clubs to beat all 91 league opponents across four tiers. That is rare and speaks to the club's plan, its depth, and the level of consistency required. It shows how far the club has come since the dark days and how solid our recruitment, fitness, and game management are. The players deserve credit for rising to the challenge in different competitions.

The supporters deserve a nod too for backing the team through tough spells and celebrating the wins with respect. This is the moment to build from, not rest on it.

Port Vale surprises me, but it wasn't that long ago, at least to me, that they were in the old First Division after the formation of the Premier League. They used to be a club like Tranmere Rovers, that would be in the 2nd and 3rd tiers.

Back when Wigan were starting to grow in size and Sheffield United always seemed to be on the verge of promotion to the Premier League, alongside Wolves but struggling to make their size count. So, it's good to see that our years floating in the 4th tier haven't stopped us from achieving something exclusive like this, which really is a good record to have.

Vale fans might not be happy to share it, mind.

A field where dreams become reality.

The history of Notts makes this moment extra sweet.

Being the oldest professional club in the world brings responsibility, and last Saturday the side showed why the club remains relevant. The 91 teams in four divisions is a testament to resilience and long-term thinking.

The fans deserve to feel proud, but we must keep our discipline and respect on and off the pitch. We should celebrate with humility and let the players enjoy the moment, then remind ourselves the real work starts next match. The board has to keep investing in youth and facilities to sustain this level. Notts can be at the heart of the city again if we stay focused and grounded.

This has been earned, we’ve beaten tough teams when it counted. Fleetwood showed we can dig in and push on. It’s raised expectations, but the season’s long. Stay focused, stay fit, and this could be the start of something big.

The club should prep for the next window, add depth without upsetting the balance.

I've discovered a Facebook group called The English Football Record. It's a utopia for anoraks and our record has spurred some people to do some research. So I'll shamelessly report their findings - after all, it must be true if it's on the internet!

I thought it seemed improbable that no team had ever beaten all 91 other league members before Vale did it relatively recently, especially when you consider that there was relatively little change in the 92 teams between 1921 and the 80s. And I was right. It seems the first team to do this was Bury when they beat Hartlepool on 11 September 1973 (obviously they don't hold it any more). Bradford City have also completed the set, first doing it in 2014 and again last season when they beat Bromley. So to date three clubs hold this record. Grimsby are one short.

89 of the 91 have also beaten us (which two teams are we unbeaten against?) while 90 have beaten Bradford. And Port Vale are the team we have beaten most by far - 42 times!

So where's our trophy?

I've seen the claims for Bradford City & Swindon Town, but I think some are counting Cup wins against League Clubs when only League meetings should be counted. That's why I think we have just Port Vale and Notts that are the official two.

Swindon Town are definitely missing some that they are unlikely to get in the near future @Robbie (one of them is Manchester United). I think Bradford is more credible.

I've also found out that we've beaten Arsenal 20 times!
