Competitive football started in England with the FA Cup, the oldest football competition in the world,[2] first being competed for in the 1871–72 season when Wanderers beat Royal Engineers 1–0.[3] League football followed in the subsequent decade when The Football League was founded in 1888, with Preston North End winning the first title.[4] The Football League, which was renamed the First Division upon expansion of the league in 1892, remained the highest division of the English football league system until 1992 when the Premier League was founded.[5] The Football League also added a second major cup competition in 1960, when it founded the League Cup, invititation to which is restricted to the 92 members of the league. Despite not winning the league since the 1989–90 season, Liverpool hold the record for most titles with 18.[6] Liverpool also hold the record number of League Cup titles with seven victories in the final,[7] and Manchester United have won the most FA Cups with the 2004 title being their 11th.[8][9]
European competition started in 1955 with the European Cup and the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, which was succeeded by the UEFA Cup for the 1971–72 season.[10] The Cup Winners' Cup followed in 1960 but was discontinued in 1999.[11] As of the 2006–07 season, 32 English teams have competed in the three main European competitions, 13 of which have lifted at least one trophy,[12] with four of those winning the European Cup—Aston Villa, Liverpool, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest.[13]
