Biggest club in Europe never to have played in europe

[PeterNdlovu081]

The biggest clubs in Yorkshire has been the same as long as I've been alive.

1. Leeds (by a mile)
2. Sheffield Wednesday
3. Sheffield United

I seriously doubt this order will ever change in my lifetime.

Played in Cup Winners Cup in 1974 after their 1973 F.A. Cup victory.

They must have been there in the early 80s as well because Auf Wiedersehen Pet series 1 did a full episode about them going over the border to Holland to watch them and Oz got deported back to England. So thats historical and legal record.

… unless they just made it up to suit the plot, in which case I need to sit down and re-evaluate many, many things.

It was a plot - based friendly.

Last para applies to me equally...

So that’s our new claim to fame ..”the biggest club in the world not to have played in a competitive international game”. Until proven otherwise

Do you think Gaz will add that to his shpeil at the match today?

Didn’t Oz just get drunk and ended up on a flight back to England rather than being deported?

You could well be right- been a while since I watched it and I’d had a few myself when I started “remembering” it last night

It's already changed. We have had a higher average attendance than them in 14 of the past 20 seasons. We play in a higher division than them, have a better stadium and have been promoted to the PL three times this century compared to their zero.
