I’m happy with calling it the Milk Cup in the sense that
that’s what I and my friends called it when we won it, so it brings back those memories. Also I think it helps that it was an inoffensive sponsor (unless you’re vegan or lactose intolerant perhaps). Had we won the Rumbelows or Littlewoods Cup then these days I might be more inclined to call it the League Cup.
Our honours list of course says League Cup.
