1970 Anglo-Italian Cup
The 1970 Anglo-Italian Cup was the inaugural Anglo-Italian Cup competition.

When another Third Division club, Swindon Town, won the 1969 Football League Cup, the Anglo-Italian League Cup was organised as a way of compensating Swindon for the ruling that prevented them competing in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cu ...
