The competition was created after the Heysel Stadium disaster, when English clubs were banned from European competition, as an additional competition for clubs in the top two divisions

  3. ↑ Amateur Sidney Sanders scored 6 in the 10-1 defeat of Reading, 4 March 1916 in the inter-war competitions, but is not considered part of official records.
