Classic Programme #20: London vs. Frankfurt, 1955

Posted March 18, 2010 in Programmes by

The latest in our classic programme covers series, a rare outing by “London” in the European Inter-City Cup Competition, better known as the Fairs Cup, and ultimately what became the UEFA Europa League (and in-between the UEFA Cup). The tournament was originally created to promote city trade fairs, and thus, for some time each city was only allowed one team — “London” appeared in 1955, the inaugural year of the competition.
