#97: Harchester United

Sky One’s football soap “Dream Team” follows the fortunes of fictions club Harchester United (Up the Dragons) here is a List of the clubs honours and which club actually won them in real life.

Man City - Division 2 - Champions 1898/99,
Stoke - Division 2 - Champions 1932/33
Stoke - Division 3 (North) - Champions 1926/27

Newcastle - Texaco Cup Winners 1974/75
Man United - FA Cup Winners 1998/99

Huddersfield - Division 1 - Premiership best season 3rd, 1935/36
Leyton Orient - Division 2, Runners-up 1961/62
Sheffield Wednesday - Division 2, Runners-up 1983/84
Barnsley - Division 3 - Runners-up 1980/81

West Brom - Football League Cup Final 1969/70
Fulham - Anglo-Scottish Cup; Runners-up 1975/76
Sheffield United - Watneys Cup; Finalists 1972
Bouussia Dortmund - UEFA Cup Final 2001/02

The only team to feature twice is Stoke City which I presume is not just a coincidence, also as Stoke were the last winners of the Watneys Cup for it to be mentioned above probably proves that the craters where Potters fans. I don’t know if I should be happy or upset that they have taken a piece of Town history, suppose it’s meant to be a compliment.
