TOYOTA CUP FINAL PROGRAMMES

Man Utd are the first and only English team to have won the Toyota European/South American Cup. The club achieved this accolade following the classic treble winning season of 98/99 - Man Utd's most successful season ever. The 1999 Toyota Cup was played in Tokyo, and as such, programmes from the match are highly collectable and command a significant premium. The match programme for the 1999 tie is dual language (Japanese and English) containing a review of all 20 previous Toyota Cup Finals. Essential for any Man Utd collection!

Details for the 1999 Toyota Cup Final programme are shown below.

EUROPEAN CUP (CHAMPIONS LEAGUE) FINAL PROGRAMMES

Man Utd were the first English team to lift the European Cup in 1968. Exactly ten years on from the tragic Munich air disaster, and with the late Sir Matt Busby still at the helm, Man Utd defeated Benfica in a classic final at Wembley. This feat was repeated in 1999, with Sir Alex Ferguson at the helm, when Man Utd scored two goals in injury time to lift the trophy for a second time and complete a historic treble. The 1999 victory has seen renewed interest in Man Utd European programmes, with a marked increase in demand for the 1968 and 1999 final programmes over recent years.

Details for both winning European Cup Final programmes are shown below.

EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS CUP FINAL PROGRAMMES

The sole European Cup Winners Cup victory for Man Utd was in 1991 - the first season English teams were allowed back into European club competition following a five year ban from UEFA. The 1991 victory was Sir Alex Ferguson's first European trophy at Utd and the first for the club since the 1968 European Cup win. The official UEFA programme for the 1991 Cup Winners Cup final is one of the smallest final programmes detailed on this page.

EUROPEAN SUPER CUP PROGRAMMES

By winning the European Cup Winners Cup in 1991 Man Utd were able to contest the 1991 European Super Cup (a game between the holders of the European Cup and the European Cup Winners Cup). Although normally played over two legs, the 1991 Super Cup was a single match held at Old Trafford. Red Star Belgrade were the visitors to Manchester, and were duly overcome to give Man Utd their sole win in the European Super Cup. The programme for the tie is a conventional Man Utd programme, very similar in design to other home programmes produced for the 91/92 season.

Details for the 1991 European Super Cup programme are shown below.

FA CUP FINAL PROGRAMMES

Man Utd are one of the most successful teams in the FA Cup. The club has won the competition 11 times, with the first victory in 1909 and the latest victory in 2004 (the 'Ronaldo' cup final). Programmes from FA Cup finals in which Man Utd have been victorious are very collectable - with prices increasing steadily over recent years.

LEAGUE CUP FINAL PROGRAMMES

Despite success in many competitions Man Utd have only won the League Cup once, in the 91/92 season. During this season, the competition was named the 'Rumbelows League Cup', and Man Utd contested the final with Nottingham Forest (a team including a young Roy Keane). In recent years Man Utd have failed to regain the League Cup, losing most recently to Liverpool in the 2003 final at Cardiff. The 1992 League Cup Final is highly sought after, and is one of the rarer League Cup Final Programmes.

Details for the 1992 League Cup Final programme are shown below.

FA CHARITY SHIELD PROGRAMMES

FA Charity Shield programmes make a nice addition to any Man Utd programme collection. As the Charity shield pitches the League Champions against FA Cup Winners, the match often proves an exciting curtain raiser to the new season. Man Utd have won the charity shield 15 times. Early Man Utd charity shield programmes (1950s and before) now command very large prices when they appear for sale.
