Full Members Cup

The Full Members Cup was an English football cup competition held from 1985 to 1992. It was also known under its sponsored names of the Simod Cup (1987–89) and the ZDS Cup (1989–92).

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. However, it was never taken very seriously by either clubs or players, and was cancelled after 7 seasons. Another competition, the Super Cup for the teams who would have qualified for Europe, was introduced at the same time and lasted only one season.
