As far back as the making of the League Cup as it is truly known, 52 years prior, dramatization has been at its heart. Numerous finals have delivered the most improbable of results, with as far as anyone knows no-trust minnows conquering the chances on top-flight goliaths.

In 1961, Aston Villa - the inaugural League Cup champs - lifted the notorious trophy for the very first time.

The first trophy was commissioned and paid for by then EFL president Joe Richards, who had his name engraved on the prize. Richards' help for Football League secretary Alan Hardaker, the man credited with first proposing the League Cup, by the creation of the trophy is viewed as major in conveying the League Cup to fulfillment.
