LAST FIVE GOLDEN YEARS
Part Twelve: The memorable goalkeepersPart Thirteen: Inside the dressing roomPart Fourteen: Sixties SpecialPart Fifteen: Football and music Part Sixteen: FA Cup final special
It's very much that time of year. Summer is just round the corner, the marathon football season is drawing to a close, and silverware is being won.
Few experiences as a fan are as enjoyable as seeing your team pick up trophies, and the latest feature in our Golden Years series shows trophies being shown off at all levels of the game. From league titles to the FA Cup, success in Europe to international glory.
Some of the celebrations are on the pitch, some in the dressing room and some on parades long after the success has been achieved.
Feel free to comment and share your memories with us at the bottom of this article, and be sure to join us again next Wednesday for another reminder of football's memorable past.
The summer of 1966 will always be seen as a truly golden one for England fans, with a 4-2 win over West Germany in the World Cup final at Wembley an iconic moment in the history of the game. Here, England's captain Bobby Moore reaches to take the famous trophy from goalkeeper Gordon Banks. Roger Hunt and Martin Peters are also at the front of this picture. If England reach next year's Brazil World Cup, you will be hearing about 48 years of hurt since this famous day There's an unmistakeable romance about this picture, with Wolves captain Billy Wright chaired round the pitch after Wanderers had beaten Leicester 3-1 in the 1949 FA Cup final. Two goals from Jesse Pye and one from Sammy Smyth gave Wolves victory. Wright is one of those genuine one-club greats, playing for Wolves between 1939 and 1959, helping the famous Midlands clubs to three title wins in the 1950s. He also made 105 appearances for England When it comes to iconic matches in football, there's a strong argument for Brazil's clash with Italy in the 1970 World Cup final topping the lot. Here's a picture of captain Carlos Alberto with the trophy, surrounded by photographers and delighted fans. His fourth goal in the final is one of the most replayed in the history of football Aberdeen captain Alex McLeish proudly holds aloft the European Cup winners Cup on a parade through the city in 1983, following their famous triumph over Real Madrid in Gothenburg. To the right of this picture is defender Willie Miller and Aberdeen manager Sir Alex Ferguson. The win over Alfredo Di Stefano's Real ranks as one of Ferguson's great achievements. After eight hugely successful years with the Dons, Ferguson moved south to join Manchester United. He announced his retirement last week at the age of 71, after 27 years in charge at Old Trafford Sunderland's players are among a rather weary looking, smartly dressed crowd, in this 1937 picture. The FA Cup is being proudly shown off after Sunderland's 3-1 win over Preston at Wembley, courtesy of goals from Bobby Gurney, Raich Carter and Eddie Burbanks. The club have won two FA Cups in their history, the other being in 1973, when they were in Division Two and famously upset Leeds in the final Tottenham pair Terry Dyson and Jimmy Greaves show off the European Cup Winners Cup upon their return to England, after beating Atletico Madrid 5-1 in the final in Rotterdam. Both Dyson and Greaves scored two goals in a comprehensive win for the Londoners. It was a truly golden period for Spurs, their European success following a league title in 1961, and successive FA Cup wins in 1961 and 1962 If the Brazil of 1970 provided the world with a truly iconic international side, Real Madrid did the same in the club arena a decade earlier. Here, the Real players parade the European Cup around Hampden Park after their glorious 7-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt. It was a fifth European Cup in succession for the Spanish giants, who have now won the competition nine times in their history Wimbledon manager Bobby Gould and his assistant Don Howe proudly lift the FA Cup during celebrations following their memorable 1988 win over Liverpool at Wembley. The win, which came just 11 years after Wimbledon left the non-league ranks, was in many people's minds again last weekend, with Wigan's win over Manchester City at Wembley widely considered to be the biggest shock in the final since Wimbledon's heroics of 25 years ago Of all the magical World Cups, the one staged in Argentina in 1978 must rank very highly. The host nation claimed a wonderful triumph, beating the Netherlands 3-1 in the final in Buenos Aires. Here, Argentina's captain Daniel Passarella holds the World Cup as he is carried shoulder-high by celebrating fans. Passarella won 70 caps for his country, in a 12-year period between 1974 and 1986 Southampton's Bobby Stokes is seen here kissing the FA Cup after his dramatic late winner gave the Second Division club a 1-0 win over Manchester United in the 1976 final. Peter Osgood is the other delighted looking player in this picture, the former Chelsea favorite playing for three years at the south coast club Liverpool have probably had better teams than their 1985-86 vintage, but that was the year the Merseysiders claimed their only league and cup double. In this picture, player-manager Kenny Dalglish shows off the League Championship trophy as team-mate Mark Lawrenson displays the FA Cup. Other Liverpool favourites seen here are Ronnie Whelan, Alan Hansen and Craig Johnston. Dalglish scored the winner in Liverpool's final match at Chelsea to secure the title, while in the FA Cup final Liverpool came from behind to beat their great local rivals Everton Manchester City captain Roy Paul is chaired by team-mates as he lifts the FA Cup following a 3-1 win over Birmingham in the 1956 final. Joe Hayes, Bobby Johnstone and Jack Dyson scored for Les McDowall's City. It was a third FA Cup success for the club in their history, and the first for 22 years. Birmingham, who also reached the 1931 final, have never won the famous old competition Cardiff's Billy Hardy drinks from the FA Cup with help from captain Fred Keenor after the Welsh outfit beat Arsenal in the 1927 final. A goal from Hughie Ferguson, the result of a terrible mistake from Arsenal goalkeeper Dan Lewis, gave Cardiff a famous win. It is still the only FA Cup win in their history - they have also twice lost in the final, in 1925 to Sheffield United and in 2008 to Portsmouth Aston Villa captain Howard Spencer with the FA Cup after the 1905 final at Crystal Palace, a game Villa won 2-0 against Newcastle, courtesy of two goals from Harry Hampton. The presentation was made by Lord Kinnaird (centre, with beard) who played in a record nine FA Cup finals, including the second ever final in 1873, where he turned out for Wanderers in their 2-0 win over Oxford University Nottingham Forest captain John McGovern and goalkeeper Peter Shilton show delighted supporters the European Cup at East Midlands Airport after Forest's 1-0 win over Hamburg in the 1980 final at Madrid's legendary Bernabeu. The victory meant a second successive European Cup for Brian Clough's Forest. It's amazing to think that Forest have won two European Cups in their history, and only one league title Manchester United captain Johnny Carey (top) shows off the FA Cup in 1948 as his teammates carry him on their shoulders; from left to right John Aston, Allenby Chilton, Henry Cockburn, Charlie Mitten, Johnny Carey, Jack Crompton, Jack Rowley. United beat Blackpool 4-2 at Wembley, with Rowley on target twice, as the Reds won their first post-war trophy Rangers captain John Greig shows off the European Cup Winners Cup from the window of the team bus following a dramatic 3-2 win over Dynamo Moscow in the 1972 final at the Nou Camp in Barcelona. The end of the match was overshadowed by a pitch invasion from Rangers fans, which resulted in Greig being presented with the trophy inside Victorious Leeds players are seen here parading through the city following their 1992 league title triumph. After many years in the wilderness, the success of Howard Wilkinson's team was all the sweeter for Leeds supporters, with the Yorkshire giants just edging out Manchester United in a dramatic title race. Gary McAllister is seen here showing the trophy to fans. Among the other players towards the front of the bus are Scotland manager Gordon Strachan and the late Gary SpeedDoncaster captain Stuart Robertson balances the Fourth Division Championship trophy on his head in this 1969 picture, as manager Lawrie McMenemy looks on. McMenemy was manger of the Yorkshire club for three years, before moving on to Grimsby, and then to Southampton for a dozen years. His finest hour came when he led the Saints to that 1976 FA Cup final win against Manchester United

The Gunners saw off Leeds by a single point, and beat Liverpool in the FA Cup final, with Charlie George scoring the winning goal for the Londoners. Arsenal would win two further league and cup doubles under Arsene Wenger, in 1998 and 2002
