Anglo-Italian Cup
Encyclopedia
The Anglo-Italian Cup is a defunct European football competition that was played intermittently between 1970 and 1996 between clubs from England and Italy. Founded by Gigi Peronace
in 1970, following the success of the Anglo-Italian League Cup
, it was played as a professional tournament until 1973. Swindon Town
were the first victors in a match that was abandoned early due to violence. During its time the tournament had a reputation for violence between fans, but it returned as a semi-professional tournament in 1976 and was known as the Alitalia Challenge Cup, Talbot Challenge Cup and Gigi Peronace Memorial before it was abolished again in 1986. The tournament was re-established in 1992 as replacement for the Full Members Cup
. The professional event for second tier clubs ran for four seasons before being abandoned due to fixture congestion. The trophy was a 22 inches (55.9 cm) high gold loving cup
mounted on a wooden plinth.
From 1967, a place in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup
was awarded to the Football League Cup
winners, but that season's
winners, Queens Park Rangers, could not take up their place because UEFA
did not at that time allow third-tier teams to compete in the Fairs Cup. When the same situation arose two years later
with Swindon Town
, a two-legged match against that year's Coppa Italia
winners, A.S. Roma
, was organised by way of compensation. Following the popularity of that event, dubbed the Anglo-Italian League Cup
, and as a way to generate income to pay players' wages during the extended close season caused by the 1970 FIFA World Cup
, the first Anglo-Italian Cup was inaugurated in 1970. For the first competition there were six English teams and six Italian teams. These teams were split into three groups consisting of two English and two Italian teams each, with two points being awarded for a win, one point for a draw, and a point for each goal scored. The final was contested between the best team from each country, and Swindon played Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo
on 28 May 1970. Swindon were 3–0 up after 63 minutes, when violence started to break out. The match had to be abandoned after 79 minutes, with Swindon being declared as the first winners of the tournament.
The next year, after the group matches, Blackpool
and Bologna
were the two nations' best ranked teams and contested a final at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara
on 12 June 1971. Prior to the match, tournament organiser Gigi Peronace stressed that it was imperative for an Italian club to win back the trophy. After 90 minutes the score was 1–1 and the match went into extra-time, during which Micky Burns scored the winning goal for Blackpool. Blackpool qualified for the final again the following year, but were unsuccessful in their defense of the title, with Roma
winning 3–1. In 1973, points were no longer awarded for each goal scored, and Newcastle United
went on to win the final 2–1 against Fiorentina
at the Stadio Artemio Franchi
on 3 June 1973. Due to lack of interest the tournament did not continue, and it was not until 1976 that it re-emerged as a semi-professional competition.
In March 1976, the Anglo-Italian Cup was re-introduced as a semi-professional tournament, with six entrants from each country. Wimbledon
and Monza
reached the final, with Monza winning the final 1–0, making them unbeaten for the tournament. For the next two years Bath City
were the English finalists but they lost to Lecco
in 1977, and Udinese
in 1978, when the tournament was renamed the Alitalia Challenge Cup. In 1979, each country had four entrants and Sutton United
defeated Italian finalists Chieti 2–1 to become the first and only English winners of the competition during its time as a semi-professional competition. Attempting to defend their title the following year, Sutton United reached the final but were defeated by Triestina
. In 1981, the tournament was called the Talbot Challenge Cup and Modena
were the winners. The following year the tournament was renamed the Gigi Peronace Memorial, after the man
who organised the tournament, and reduced to four teams. The new format consisted of two Anglo-Italian semi-finals, which meant the final was not necessarily contested by an English and an Italian team. That year, Modena successfully defended their title in a final against Sutton United, who were the last English team to reach the final of the semi-professional tournament. For the next four years the finals were all-Italian contests, and after the 1986 instalment the tournament was abolished.
The competition was re-established in 1992–93 as a replacement for the Full Members Cup
. It was a professional tournament for teams competing in the second tier of football—the newly-renamed First Division
in England and Serie B
in Italy. In the preliminary rounds, 24 English teams competed in 8 groups. Each team played the other two teams in its group once, and the winner of each group went through to the main competition. The main competition consisted of two groups each with four English, and four Italian teams. Each team played all the teams in its group from the other nation, and after all matches had been played the best English team in each group played each other in a semi-final, with the best two Italian teams competing in the other semi-final. The final was a single match played at Wembley, and Derby County
lost the 1993 final 3–1 to Cremonese
. Brescia
won the final in 1994 against Notts County
, but Notts County reached the final again in 1995 and defeated Ascoli
2–1. The last instalment of the competition was held in 1995–96, and Genoa
triumphed 5–2 over Port Vale
in the final on 17 March 1996. The competition was abandoned in 1996 because the two leagues could not agree on dates for fixtures, and due to increasing violence at matches.
or Second Division
sides, with the First Division sides generally being those teams who had just finished in the lower half of the table, whilst the Second Division sides were generally mid-table or better. When the competition was revived in the 1990s, for the first two seasons all English sides playing in the First Division
(2nd level) participated, but in the last two tournaments only 8 English teams played. In 1994/95 the teams playing were two of the relegated clubs from the Premiership and six teams that had just missed out on promotion, but for 1995/96 only one of the teams that had been relegated played, and the remaining teams had generally finished mid to low table in the previous First Division campaign, with the exception of Birmingham City, who had just been promoted from the Second Division
.
With the exception of Bari and Como in 1973, all Italian teams playing in the 1970s tournament had just competed in the previous Serie A
season, and were often mid-table or higher finishers who had sometimes also qualified for the European competitions. The Italian participants in the revived 1990s tournament were the four teams that had just been relegated from Serie A
and the four teams that had finished highest but not been promoted in Serie B
. The exception to this was Verona, who were relegated in 1991/92, but did not play in the 1992/93 cup.
