Pub Quiz question about Cork Football clubs

I discovered an interesting fact about the history of League of Ireland Football in Cork City.

A total of 7 different clubs from the city have at one time played in the League of Ireland.

Fordsons 1924- 48
Cork Athletic 1948-57
Cork Bohs 1932-34
Cork Celtic 1951-79
Cork Hibs 1957-76
Cork Utd 1976- 84
Cork City 1986- Present

As far as i am aware Cork City are the only one of the above clubs still in existence.

Another interesting fact a few famous players also lined out for Cork Celtic for a while back in the 70's. George Best, Geoff Hurst and Uwe Seeler (played for WGermany against England in the 1966 WC Final) all played for Cork Celtic!!
