What is the trophy sandwiched between the European Cup and the League Cup (sorry NFFC won't allow me to post the pic direct)?

A colleague at work has just found a photo of him with this trophy in the Jubilee Club in 1978. We can't for the life of us remember what it is and it's really bugging us. Help!

Probably my last post before Christmas, so hope you all have a grand time.

Could be the European Super cup..?

 

[Roonaldo]

Nah, that was won in 1979/80. This masterpiece was definitely won between 1978 - 79.

Was it the league title? It looks like it's got the FA crest on the base.

Is it the Continental Cup?

EDIT: The League Cup is the one on the right by the way. :-*

I think the one on the far left is the County Cup.

The top flight championship was under the football league in those days not the FA, it was the same trophy as the team gets for winning the championship these days.

You could be right.

From wiki ( :)

The UEFA Super Cup trophy has undergone several changes in its history. The first trophy that was presented to Ajax in 1973 and 1974 was extremely large, bigger than the European cup, this was replaced by a plaque, that had a gold UEFA Emblem on it with the continent inscribed within the emblem.

We hadn't won the super cup when that picture was taken.

Its the Bilbao trophy - go to the bottom of this link - credit to Bestwood for spotting that one!

It was a trophy from a pre-season tournament in Spain.

Apparently they had to book it a seat on the plane back as it was that big.

Cheers for that...it did seem massive and very ornate for something as small as a pre-season tourny!

I was told that story when I went on a tour of the City Ground when I was 10.
