That was a bit strange, getting relegated but getting a place in Europe because we had the best disciplinary record. Can't think of any other team playing in European competition whilst in the Championship.

Newport County qualified for Europe from Division Four back in the day.
Merthyr Tydfil qualified while in the second tier of the Southern League (then the equivalent of level 7) and went on to beat Atalanta 2-1 in the first leg of their Cup Winners' Cup first round tie the following season (they lost the second leg 2-0).

Yes, winners of Welsh Cup used to get into Europen Cup Winners Cup-just checked and Wrexham were in it with us in 1978/79.
One of my favourite quiz questions is, which was the lowest ranked team in the English leagues to play in a major European competition?
The answer being Merthyr Tydfil, when they were in the Southern League Division One Midlands, in 1987/88, through winning the Welsh Cup. Pretty much the equivalent of Leiston playing in Europe today.
