I just noticed that Stenhousemuir (whose ground I once visited) are playing Waterford in the 'Tunnock's Caramel Wafer Cup' tonight.
Apart from the Milk Cup and the Johnson's Paint Trophy what other ridiculously-named competitions have there been?
For my part, many moons ago I scored a goal in the final of 'The Daisy Hutchins Cup' here in Somerset.
Coca Cola Cup AKA Joker Cola Cup
Leyland Daf trophy
Cohen Griffith won a tv for being man of the match in a Rumbelows Cup game once. They never did say if it was brand new or an ex-rental 😊
Rumbelows Cup for me, didnt a certain Mr Trump draw the balls once?
Sherpa vans. I'm sure we played against Abertawe Town in the 80s in this crowd pulling comp.
Doesnt pretty much every competition other than the fa cup and, when it is so called, the league cup, have a shit name? Any name with a sponsor is shit. The carabao cup? Do f**k off. Milk cup is sort of ok but the rest are horrible. The champions League is a contradiction in terms now too so that's a joke too. Might as well call it the wanker league. The cup winners cup was the same -it could be won by non cup winners so was illegitimate. As daft as perennial runners up Liverpool winning something called the champions League. Never understood the intertoto cup but always seemed a pointless competition with a tin pot name. I've got a bit more sympathy for non league competitions having Mickey mouse names, but anything above that is either the fa cup; the league cup; the european cup; or something shit. The charity shield can do one.
Whatever happened to the football association of Wales invitation premier cup? In a moment of extreme optimism they decided to base it on the champions League but I liked that we had a competition where we competed against league of Wales opposition.
I always look forward to my weekly Evo-Stick League emails.
I loved the :
The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup
When the Welsh league was first sponsored by Konica, one of the leagues lower down the pyramid was the beautifully named Richards the Builders Mid-Wales Division.
