THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS
The 1906 FA Cup finalists, Everton and Newcastle United, are unquestionably two of the biggest clubs in English football. Between them they’ve won 13 league championships, 11 FA Cups – let’s gloss over their combined record in the League Cup – and one major European trophy each. That’s a pretty good haul. Only problem is, the freshest tick on the ledger is 28 years old, entered when the Toffees won their last FA Cup in 1995. Newcastle’s most recent contribution came 54 years ago, in a competition that doesn’t exist any more and isn’t retrospectively recognised by Uefa. But the Fairs Cup was nothing if it wasn’t something, and they did win it, so that’s good enough for Football Daily. Who hangs their hat on anything Uefa says anyway?
