Quote: Mild Rover "I've wondered in the past, when looking at Hull's list of honours, about the European Club Championship. Was it a full competition or a one off match against (most obvious possibility), the Champions of France? Hull being the reigning champions on this side of the channel, of course. Who did Hull beat in the final and where was it played? Was it a biggish deal at the time, say on a par with winning the Yorkshire cup, or more of a glorified exhibition game? Did the competition/game get played for a few years, or was it one of RL's quickly abandoned experiments?
Very demanding post, I know, but I like these curios that RL seems to be especially rich in.'"
Here's another one for you, the Spring Bank Orphanage Charity Committee Challenge Cup, played for until about the 50s or 60s from at least before WWI
