5 football clubs which have never won a trophy
Winning a trophy is not a regular task, be it club or national level football. Yet some clubs have managed to make a habit of doing so. The likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona have assembled plenty of silverware in the history of the game.
It is not just both the Spanish giants who have excelled at this. Other top European clubs have managed to win silverware regularly at a certain point in time in their history. However, there are several clubs who have not come close to achieving this feat.
Quite a few clubs are yet to win a trophy
Even the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, who have infamous for not winning silverware of late, have won some trophies in their long history. To date, they have eight FA Cups and two English league titles to their name.
Many unexpected clubs have won something sometime in their history. Leicester City's Premier League triumph in the 2015-16 season has been an inspiration for many smaller teams.
Yet there are teams who have struggled to do win. On that note, let's take a look at those clubs who have failed to win a trophy.
