Talk:Grand Slam (UEFA)
|
|
I've never heard the term Grand Slam applied in this way before, on top of which the hat-trick of trophies is likely to be discussed less and less now that the Cup Winners Cup has been abolished. Does this count as original research? sjorford 09:25, 27 May 2004 (UTC)
- I've seen it referred informally as "treble" and "grand slam". However, "treble" is usually applied when a team holds three major cups in the same year (championship, cup and UEFA competition), so the later seems more appropriate. If anyone finds the correct, formal, UEFA name for three-cup holders, the article should be moved.
- And I doubt this can be accounted as original research, since it was vastly referred when Valencia lost the two finals a couple of years back and more recently with Baía. At best the article name should be changed to other alternatives such as "UEFA Treble", "Continental Cup Treble" or those two with "hat-trick" instead of treble.
- Can someone put forward any reference for this? I've never heard of this like seemingly everybody else. Otherwise I'm going to put forward this for deletion Bornintheguz 23:10, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Title
Since "Grand Slam" doesn't seem to be an especially common name for this feat, and certainly not an official one, perhaps a generic title would be better - List of clubs winning all 3 European football cups, or something? It's hard to find a title that's unambiguous and not too long, though. sjorford →•← 11:55, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- How about change to UEFA competition records (along the lines of Football records in England) and add more info like record attendances? Bornintheguz 14:49, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I think it does count as original research. It seems that Uefa grand slam is an invented term, I never heard it before and could find other references to it. Renaming the article should be enough, though. D.W. 12 June 2005
