I believe Man Utd & Liverpool count their league & cup triumphs accumulated way back in the early nineteen hundreds - so why shouldn't we ?

[Green Cross Code Man]

I'm with WCP on this too. Those who disagree don't seem to know much about the historical significance.

At the time the Charity Shield was contested between the winners of the amateur Southern League and the professional Football League (comprised only of clubs from the North and the Midlands). So in effect it was a play-off between the Northern and Southern champions. The winners of the Shield could then claim to be 'Champions of all England'. We won, causing a major shock by beating Aston Villa.


So not only did we win the Shield, but by doing so we could also claim to be overall English Champions.

I wonder if anyone who disrespects this achievement can truly call themselves a Brighton fan.

I agree. I don't get why some people disrespect the Albion's finest day and Charlie Webb's sides great achievement. Sad really, especially as I think his daughter died not so long ago.

I think Charlie Webb was also re-appointed manager when still a prisoner of war?

[CPFC1234]

Absolutely Heartbroken . PLEASE Gents at least get to League cup semi final first Before mocking us Becuase we progressed MUCH furthur than you in a cup competition., Oh wait, You lot were in tears when you lost to Luton on pens in the Johnstones Tinpot Pain Trophy in 2009 , Just cause you support a dull, Boring club with nothing to shout about, apart from celebrating the misfortune of others , Cardiff were the Better team, early own goal took the wind out of our sails, they werent all that though, couldnt score against us in 120 minutes, not to mention the last 50 minutes we were down to 10 men. Our excuse=NONE, Poor. I hope Liverpool Humiliate them Sheep shagging imbreds.

since when was the charity shield a major trophy?

 

[Working class pride]

since when was the charity shield a major trophy?

since the winners of the Southern League played the winners of the Football league when the Football league was a closed mainly northern shop. The winner of both leagues played each other as the best two sides in the land and the winner, Champions of England. Your question is a bit like asking Liverpool, "since when was winning division 1 a major trophy"

Shaggin your mothers daughter is your best major trophy.

rather than you shagging your mother or her son .......
