answer, I believe, is EIGHT and these 8 teams have won it THIRTEEN times (clue) between them Spurs are one.
Used an old Rothman's Football Yearbook I knew the answer was Spurs , but I couldn't remember the year .
What about these? WANDERERS OLD ETONIANS BLACKBURN OLYMPIC CLAPHAM ROVERS OLD CARTHUSIANS OXFORD UNIVERSITY ROYAL ENGINEERS They won it before football league was founded and never entered league subsequently.
As you say They won the cup prior to the formation of the Football League . Therefore , the term non-league cannot be used . By it's very definition , there has to be a league in place if a club not a member can be labelled non-league .
