7 Football Clubs Who Have NEVER Won A Trophy

[@noddyjoe]

As a person living in Perth, Australia we have an interesting story about the day George Best randomly showed up to play a game of Amateur Football for one of our local teams (Osborne Park Galeb). I'd love to hear some more, say, a 7 Footballers with appearances for obscure teams (and the story of how it came to be)

[@harrynoke6458]

Stuart Pearce for Longford?

[@TheGrimmCommoner]

Imagine being an amateur team, and one day the best footballer of all-time comes to play with you. Lucky bastards.

[@ethanmunson4737]

Bobby Moore for south china

[@Grautwok]

First one that comes to mind is when Patrice Evra showed up at some random non-league team and asked to play, not that long ago if i recall correctly

[@leonardporathwahlund8140]

Eusebio for Malmö

[@nektarioss]

I somehow knew there would be a Greek club here. Sadly, the top spot was stripped off from it. Tough luck for a club which hasn't won basically anything. I come from Greece and even I didn't know Levadiakos' route to the Super League. Huge respect and admiration for the effort and for the simple fact that you are even aware of clubs like Levadiakos, among others. A fun fact about Levadiakos: they just WOULDN'T get relegated!!! They were in the relegation zone for multiple seasons, but each year they somehow managed to stay in the first division. Financial problems, for example, meant that other clubs had to be relegated and, consequently, Levadiakos escaped relegation. We were making jokes about this... One very small and insignificant notice: The intonation of "Ethniki" is incorrect. It's the last syllable that is louder.

That’ll mean they don’t qualify since it’s a drought and they’ve won something in the past and as you just said they’ve just ended that drought

[@PassivesAbseits]

Now do "7 Clubs, that have never been promoted". Here in Germany, that actually only applies to the Hamburger SV. They always played in the highest possible league, until they got relegated a couple of years back. They haven't made it back to the Bundesliga so far, but yet they miss their chance to buy "Unpromotable" merchandise, which I and many people in St. Pauli would certainly buy. Right now, they are in 5th place, so they might give you another year to work on this list... I wonder, if there are more clubs like that in leagues with a promotion/ relegation system...

Speaking of Partizan and Red Star. Possible idea for a video. FK Obilic, if you can find English sources on that. Basically the only club in Serbia, other then Red Star and Partizan to win a league. We are talking 1998, so if you want to be technical still Yugoslavia, but practically Serbia and Montenegro. They did that while they were basically being ran by a mobster/war criminal. They are currently in like a 7th tier I think. Would help with the Serbian sources, but I am currently really busy on my bachelors thesis.

Also, I’ve seemed to notice an increase in attention and coverage surrounding women’s football. Any chance you might make a video discussing the movement, where the sport is at, and where it might be going? Keep it up, again, love the vids.

[@averinthine]

my team, wellington phoenix, have never won anything. no a-league regular season premierships or finals series trophies, no ffa cups, not eligible to even compete in continental championships due to being based in one confederation and competing in another, the reserve team which plays in the nz top flight has never gotten much done there, the recently-minted women's team hasn't even won a match yet. neither of its spiritual predecessors have won anything either. the closest we've come so far has been a penalty shootout loss in the 2008 final of the short-lived and barely official pre-season challenge cup.

FK Proleter Zrenjanin still exist, and it competes in the third league (Vojvodina region), and it holds no connection to the Novi Sad based club FK Proleter. FK Proleter from Novi Sad was a feeder club of FK Vojvodina for few seasons back before they were promoted to Serbian SuperLiga, also they won the Prva liga Srbije (Serbian First league - second tier) title in 2017-18 season.

They have exciting players playing in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Turkey Super League, and MLS, and I think would make a great video, whether you want to review them soon, or wait until late March for their final qualifying games (which barring a disastrous window, should qualify us for the first WC since 1986)
