Multiple Honours...

The following is a selection of players who won multiple domestic honours in English and Scottish football during the 1872-1937 period.

In England there was no great dominance by any one club in the professional era. Certain clubs enjoyed clusters of wins- for example Blackburn Rovers won the FA Cup 5 times in the 1880s and 90s, Aston Villa and Sunderland both enjoyed multiple championships in the 1890s, Huddersfield Town dominated the 1920s and Arsenal the 1930s. But this did not present any one player with more than 7 individual honours.

Scotland, as one might imagine, was a different story. It did not take Glasgow giants Celtic and Rangers very long to establish the dominance that would extend into the 21st century, and both strung together long successions of title wins.  




















 McNair and McMenemy

Two Celtic stalwarts, Alec McNair and Jimmy McMenemy each won 18 domestic honours (McMenemy's last medal came when he was playing for Partick Thistle as a 41 year old).
