Definitely Bradford and Wimbledon for the Interpointless (which wouldn't have been included in my list). I'll guess Palace for the other one.

Interestingly, the old Fairs Cup wasn't a UEFA competition, so UEFA doesn't recognise those them as official European tournaments.

Of course, there are two other clubs that *should* be on the list...

3/3!

Fair enough on not including the intertoto - I treated it as a forerunner to the qualifying stages for the current three competitions.

All three came close to getting into Europe properly - Wimbledon won the FA cup while English clubs were banned, and Bradford and Palace (twice) have both lost cup finals.

As for clubs that should be on the list, are you referring to the Welsh clubs, or perhaps the likes of Oxford, who would have qualified for Europe if it wasn't for the ban?

[Panda]

I was referring to Oxford and Luton, who missed out because of the ban (plus Wimbledon, who would've got to play in a proper European competition).
