Merseyside is one of the most successful counties in English football when you collectively combine the top-level trophies won by its teams (mainly Liverpool and Everton to be fair), but beyond the obvious, do you know who the top 10 men's football teams are in the county right now?!

Just in case you didn’t catch who the teams were, they are as follows (in their ranking order):

1) Liverpool Football Club

Thank you to the hospitality of all the football clubs you’ve seen me visit in this video – namely Prescot Cables, Bootle, Litherland REMYCA, Marine/AFC Liverpool and Southport. I turned up on the day without any notice and they were all extremely welcoming and gave me their time to film their clubs, as well as a few mementos thrown in too! If you’ve got a local non-league team nearby, go and check them out sometime – it’s a great day out and you’ll always be welcome!

Hope you enjoy/enjoyed the video - leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Where to head to next?!

Well done Paul, you managed it. I really enjoyed meeting you and also enjoyed the finished product. I'm sure your efforts have done a lot to encourage local football fans to visit our Non-League Clubs in Merseyside. Cheers. 👍⚽

Having done alot of these grounds whilst Tranmere have been far away to get too ground hopping, found this very interesting to see the actual rankings and all grounds in a day

Fantastic video, but when you said Everton we're moving away from Stanley Park, I cringed. It's Goodison Park not Stanley Park.. 👍👍

Shame you didn’t get chance to speak to John and Ken. 😂

Strangely you missed South Liverpool out!

City of Liverpool are at same level as Marine, Prescot and Bootle. I think you may need to redo the list or risk inaccuracy and offence.
