League Cup Celebrates 50th Year

Posted on: Tue 25 Aug 2009

As the second round of the Carling Cup swings into action, City fans are being asked to nominate their all-time favourite League Cup moment, with 50 pairs of tickets up for grabs for this season's Carling Cup Final.

The Football League will reveal the all-time Top 50 League Cup moments in the lead-up to the match at Wembley Stadium on 28th February.

The 2-1 League Cup Final victory over Chelsea at Wembley in 1972 will surely be popular for fans but any match or incident can be voted for.

Football League Chairman Lord Mawhinney said, "Fifty years is an important milestone for The Football League's showpiece Cup competition. We look forward to celebrating this special anniversary across the season.

"More than 78 million fans have watched matches in the League Cup since 1960. We want those supporters to tell us their favourite highlight from the last five decades. These will underline the excellent football and excitement which have been the bedrock of the competition.

"The League Cup is essential to the financial welfare of English professional football. Through television revenue and gate receipts it generates the income that sustains the most developed professional football pyramid in the world game.

"Long may it continue."
