Award winners
On 12 July 1988, at the beginning of the 1988-89 European competitions seeding held in Geneva (Switzerland), then UEFA president Jacques Georges presented the prize to then Juventus president Giampiero Boniperti.
In July 1992, after winning the European Champions' Cup, the then FC Barcelona president, Josep Lluís Núñez requested of UEFA a similar recognition, stating that his club had equaled Juventus record having won formerly the Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Cup. The European football's governing body rejected it because the Spanish club had never won the UEFA Cup proper and UEFA does not recognize the Fairs Cup as its official predecessor.
