I somewhat miss the European Cup Winners Cup, it was the only European silverware that Chelsea and Arsenal could win, in 1998 and 1994 respectively. Who can forget Nayims fantastic, breathtaking lob from the half way line in the final seconds of Extra Time for Real Zaragoza against Arsenal in the 1995 final. I can distinctively remember my Dad jumping out of his seat in sheer disbelief. I was only two years old at the time. The first two years of the cup were involved with Fiorentina as they won the innaugral cup and became runners up in the second year of the cup which was 1961/62. Tottenham Hotspur became the first ever British side to win a European Trophy after thrashing Athletico Madrid 5-1 in the 1962/63 year of the cup. I trully believe that this cup was British teams favourite. Afterall, British sides have won the cup ten times and have been runners up seven times. The Cup has produced some shocks, in the 1987/88 cup, KV Mechelen beat Dutch giants Ajax in the final to become the second Belgium side to win the cup, after Anderlecht had previously one the tournament twice. Also, nine years after their founding, FC Magdeburg beat AC Milan 1-0 in the 1973/74 tournament. |

Nayim's goal was one of the most memorable of all time for me. It was like a basketball buzzer beater but from halfcourt! But the Cup Winners Cup was rightly put to rest in my opinion due to the expansion of the Champions League. It just weakened the field too much of the Cup Winners Cup. Impressive TCK if you can remember when you were 2 years old. I sure can't recall that far back in my life. |
