Here’s a comprehensive list for all you information hunters out there: the full history of European Cup Winners Cup winners. The competition began in 1960 and was contested by all the domestic cup winners of the UEFA soccer nations or, if that club had already qualified for Europe, by the runner up in the domestic cups. Once it ended in 1999, domestic cup winners would compete in the UEFA Cup instead.

Barcelona won the tournament the greatest number of times, totalling 4 victories. Anderlecht, Milan, Dynamo Kiev and Chelse each triumphed twice, whilst my team Arsenal won it just the once in 1993/4. England was the country with the greatest number of winners (8 in all), followed by Spain and Italy at 7 times each. Spain reached the final the most often, closely backed up by England – it was 14 and 13 finals respectively. Why not count how may times your team and country have been victorious?
