They include the great Huddersfield triple title winners of the 1920s and the Arsenal teams that won five titles in eight seasons in the 1930s. Manchester United’s Busby Babes carried off the trophy in 1956 and 1957 before the Munich Air Tragedy , and Liverpool collected the trophy 10 times in 18 seasons between 1972/73 and 1989/90.
