Is it the Champions League / European Cup?

? Is that your answer or are you seeking clarification? If it's your answer then that was in fact the title of the thread!

If it's clarification, then it relates to winners of the Uefa Champions League and its forerunner, the European Cup.

And just to clarify the clue, when I say 'we done it', I am of course referring to Brighton.

Is it to do with beating the European champions?

This is what I'm thinking, 9 clubs have beaten the euro champs in their first game back on English soil?

Close, but not quite right. Man Utd lost about 15 games in 68/69.

The correct answers is teams that have done the league double against the reigning European Cup/champions league holders.

(have rechecked and there are in fact 10 teams)

Chelsea
Tottenham
Ipswich
Leicester
Sunderland
Everton
Southampton
Liverpool
Blackburn
Brighton
