Trans-State Double
A very rare event. A Trans-State double occurs when a club wins a league and a cup which technically belong to two different countries and different associations. This happens as a result of a change in the political situation in the club’s home country. There are two useful examples:
| Club | League Won | Cup Won | Year | Circumstance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rapid Vienna | Austrian Football Bundesliga | Tschammerpokal | 1938 | Anschluss |
| Spartak Moscow | Russian Top League | Soviet Cup | 1992 | Dissolution of the Soviet Union |

Famous quotes containing the word double:
“Even in harmonious families there is this double life: the group life, which is the one we can observe in our neighbour’s household, and, underneath, another—secret and passionate and intense—which is the real life that stamps the faces and gives character to the voices of our friends. Always in his mind each member of these social units is escaping, running away, trying to break the net which circumstances and his own affections have woven about him.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
