Milk Cup (Texaco Cup)

The Milk Cup, also known as the Texaco Cup, was a football (soccer) tournament held primarily in the UK and Ireland from 1973 to 1981. It involved club teams from various regional leagues competing in a knockout format, often featuring teams outside the top tier. Sponsored by milk or oil companies like Texaco, the competition aimed to foster regional rivalries and provide additional competitive opportunities. It was a popular, mid-level tournament that offered players and clubs a chance to test themselves in a competitive setting beyond their regular league matches.
