Only 5 teams won it twice (4 teams won it 3 times; 3 teams won it 4 times; 7 teams won it 6 or more times)

Spurs (+ 8 FA Cups)
Portsmouth & Preston (+ 2 FA Cups)
Burnley & Derby (+ 1 FA cup)

And 5 teams won it once

Forest
WBA
Sheff United
Leicester
Ipswich

Ledley King - he only has one knee.

I'm impressed with this man on the microphone.

Since us and Spurs won it over half a century ago i think only 13 teams have won it showing how difficult it is to win especially in the modern era

Brighton 57th on the major honours list (for FA Charity Shield in 1910)
Just above Queens Park (Sheriff of London Charity Shield 1899)
and Fulham (UEFA Intertoto Cup 2002)

Chelsea had only won the title once before you know who poked his big Russian conk in.
The manure wannabees had only won it twice before the big yuan.
