Did the tour of PR on Saturday, can recommend, it’s good! (Although think all the new ones have sold out already!!) and saw this little trophy…
So naturally had a little joke on Twitter.
Turns out it could be a bit of a bigger award than it says…

Anyone know any more about this from the time?

I'm sure it used to be billed as the France Football award, which was a big thing at the time, but may have been given a wrong label at some point more recently. |  | | |

I remember it being regarded as a prestigious award at the time, I don’t remember it being related to (or limited to) teams wearing Adidas kit |  | | |

It was awarded for our EUFA cup win and probably influenced by the demolition of St. Ettienne. I believe that it was the first time the winner had no connection with winning the European Cup. | | | |

Arsenal were jointly awarded it in 1971, despite not having won the European Cup, but having been English double winners 70/71, having also won the Fairs cup in 69/70. | |

I reckon that Bulgarian player would be a pointless answer on a 'Name a Golden Boot winner' final round on Pointless. |  | | |

I am sure the label will be amended, very soon! | | | |
