Association football competition
For the Trinidadian cricket competition referred to as the Texaco Cup, see
Beaumont Cup .
Programme for the 1974–75 Texaco Cup semi-final between Newcastle United and Birmingham City
The Texaco Cup , officially known as the International League Board Competition , was an association football competition started in 1970, involving sides from England , Scotland , and Ireland that had not qualified for European competitions.[1]
It was one of the first football competitions to receive sponsorship, taking the name of American petroleum company Texaco for £100,000, and was instituted to help promote Texaco's recent purchase of the Regent filling station chain.[3] Irish and Northern Irish clubs withdrew from the competition after 1971–72 due to political pressure,[4] competing in a separate Texaco (All-Ireland) Cup in 1973–74 and 1974–75.[5]
Crowds in the competition fell after the first few seasons,[6] and it became the Anglo-Scottish Cup from 1975 to 1976 after Texaco's sponsorship ended.[7]
[ edit ]
For the first four seasons it was played as a straight knockout tournament, with sixteen clubs entered, all ties being two-legged. For the final season of the competition, 16 English clubs played in groups before being joined in the knockout stages by four Scottish sides.[8]
