The League Cup may not hold the appeal it once did, marginalised in England as the once proud UEFA Cup has been in continental play (though when it comes to re-branding, England's second cup competition got there first—it's been changing its name for thirty years now). From the first competition in 1960 through its first six years, the final was a two-legged home-and-home affair.

And this is interesting because African players have a tendency to perform well for their clubs, but when it comes to their national sides, it is a different story.
