Why do people keep saying that Arsenal on 09:46 - Apr 23 by Trequartista
They also won the Fairs Cup, which like the UEFA Cup is a legacy competition of the Europa League
Birmingham fans claim their win* was a European trophy. Back when they played it was a cup for cities with fairs - and so only open to larger cities. Additionally, the team represented the City of Birmingham. Hence the trophy doesn't reside in the trophy cabinet of Brum.
In the mid 90s I once sat in the directors box at St Andrews for a game v Coventry (Mate worked for a sponsor of the league cup) and at half time we walked past the trophy cabinet. It actually had 2 trophies in there - a replica of the Auto windscreens glass trophy thing - and an "Atari soccer" trophy.
After trying not to laugh too loudly at the idea of the some of the their youth players winning a trophy for Atari games, it turns out they won some 6-aside tournament.
The match was also noticeable for my upsetting Big Ron with some bantz that he didn't appreciate :-)

I think my West Brom fanatic mate would be absolutely delighted that you upset Ron Atkinson. He has researched and published a book about 'The Three Degrees' and found 'Big Ron' to be unpleasant.

A few years earlier he was rather rude and poked me in the chest at a service station, driving back to Rome from the 1990 world cup quarter final vs Cameroon in Naples.

Serious?
At the time I had no idea wtf it was :-)
Yes, serious. Turns out the 8-4 was a group game, not the final. But the final was Birmingham v Ipswich, with Birmingham winning on pens after a 2-2 draw.
Town were also runners-up the following year.

Good man!
Who was in goal for us?
It's Laurie Sivell at the end - not sure about earlier. The picture quality isn't good, but I can also spot Kevin O'Callaghan and Steve McCall in that clip.
The 1984 squad was Grew, Yallop, Barnes, Butcher, Putney, Zondervan, Brennan, Gates and Sunderland.
