Footnotes
:A. The Premier League took over from the First Division as the top tier of the English football league system upon its formation in 1992. The First Division then became the second tier of English football, the Second Division became the third tier, and so on. The First Division is now known as the Football League Championship, while the Second Division is now known as Football League One. :B In 1981, the Charity Shield was shared in the event of a draw. :C Aston Villa won their 3rd round, final tie of the 2008 Intertoto Cup and were named a co-winner of the tournament, as a result they qualified for the 2008-09 UEFA Cup. The outright winner of the Intertoto Cup was the team that progressed furthest in the UEFA Cup that season, which was SC Braga. :D The home team are listed first.
