Sixteen different teams have won at least one Supporters’ Shield, with the LA Galaxy and D.C. Only when a club won five titles or three-in-a-row could they retain the original trophy permanently, but prior to 2009, nobody had managed this. The north London club also has the record for highest attendance ever recorded, with 80,465 cramming into Wembley to spectate a 2-2 draw with KAA Gent. Supporting the idea of a French Europa League curse is that during the 1997/98 season, soccer kits France managed to have seven clubs in the competition (something that would not be permitted under current rules). Despite only winning the competition twice, and not since 1984, Tottenham feature several times in the Europa League/UEFA Cup history books.
