Quickish Quiz: Our complete Honours list

[cdbearsfan]

We won the Coca-Cola Cup (Japan) before the start of the 1993-4 season, a good omen for the rest of the campaign.

We've won the Hong Kong Soccer Sevens loads of times.

I imagine we've also won Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire County Cups... I think we've competed in all three.

We may have also won the Mayor of Birmingham Charity Cup. We definitely lost in the final in 1897.

Peter W, we only 'won' the InterToto once. That was when there were three finals and each winner was given a trophy. They later changed the format to eleven finals. The winners all qualified for the UEFA Cup and whichever team won that was judged to be InterToto Cup Winner. It wasn't us.

Did we actually get a trophy for the Intertoto in 2002? Any pics of the presentation?

Didnt we "win" or qual. via the inter twobob twice?

Only once, although certain DVDs claim Villa won the 2008 version ('Planet Villa' which I got for my birthday at the weekend being one) Braga got to the last 16 when we were knocked out in Moscow in the last 32.

For me its

7 Leagues
7 FA Cups
5 League Cups
1 European Cup

20 trophies (that matter) in all, which puts us 4th on the list.

Liverpool have 40, Man United 37, Arsenal 27, Villa 20, Spurs 17, Chelsea and Everton 15, Newcastle 11 etc etc

So for all Fergie's bluster they still haven't knocked them off there perch......

I'd agree with this - the only trophies that count are Old Division 1/Premier League; FA Cup; League Cup; European Cup/Champions League; Cup Winners Cup; UEFA Cup/Europa Cup.

I've read somewhere that in the 80s, the Liverpool players used to give each trophy a "weighting" - so League/European Cup = 5; FA Cup, Other European = 3; League Cup = 2; Anything else = 1.

That sounds about right to me.

If you go on UEFA.com and check out the Villa page it is confirmed that we are officially credited with four UEFA trophies - two of them being Inter Totos.

I stand corrected...they have changed it!  Looks like it's only the one InterToto.

[Small Rodent]

Is it only in recent years that the European Super Cup has been latched onto by the media? I'm sure when we won it was a highlight show on Sportsnight.

Also the Community/Charity Shield...never seen as anything but a pre-season friendly. When was it first televised. Again when we played Spurs it was just highlights on Match of the Day.

And when was the League Cup first televised? Was always a Saturday game played alongside league matches until shifted to a Sunday.

Or is my memory totally bollocksed?

Well spotted sir!

The 1983 "win" should read 1985.

[Dave Cooper please]

Never won the Staffs Senior Cup.

There isn't a Warwickshire county cup as such, Warwickshire teams have always been affiliated to the Birmingham FA (well Birmingham was in Warwickshire after all!).

We have however won the Worcestershire Senior Cup in 1939 and 1954.

[Legion]

Plenty or honours pre-WWII that have not yet been mentioned.
