Trans-State Double
A very rare event. A Trans-State double occurs when a club wins a league and a cup which technically belong to two different countries and different associations. This happens as a result of a change in the political situation in the club’s home country. There are two useful examples:
Club | League Won | Cup Won | Year | Circumstance |
---|---|---|---|---|
Rapid Vienna | Austrian Football Bundesliga | Tschammerpokal | 1938 | Anschluss |
Spartak Moscow | Russian Top League | Soviet Cup | 1992 | Dissolution of the Soviet Union |

Famous quotes containing the word double:
“Well, I had gone and spoiled it again, made another mistake. A double one in fact. There were plenty of ways to get rid of that officer by some simple and plausible device, but no, I must pick out a picturesque one; it is the crying defect of my character.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
