Celtic 1967
Never knew that about spurs in the cup winners cup in 1963 Tottenham Hotspur 5 - 1 Atlético Madrid (this cup no longer exists)
Celitc won what is now the champions league..so that was the harder 1 to win

Tottenham Hotspur was the first British team to win an European competition when they won the now defunct UEFA European Cup Winners' Cup in 1963. they beat the Spanish side, Atletico Madrid 5-1 in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Mate, we never claimed to be the first British team to win a cup in Europe,We are the first British team to have won the European cup,that's what we claim and its true,no other British team won the European cup before us,other British teams won cups in other European tourney's,(uefa/fairs and cup winners cup)but we are the first to win the European cup.As you say,the ****'n'hens won the Vienna cup,but that was not the European cup.

Spurs won the now defunct European Cup Winners cup before Celtic won the European cup. The cup winners cup was played by the domestic cup winners of the european leagues untill 1999, possibly due to the expansion of the Champions league.
