Whether it was a league title snatched when results swung your way or an afternoon under the arch of Wembley Stadium, you never forget your club lifting a trophy - whatever it is.
But while clubs are winning machines, sweeping up silverware by the season, others are having longer droughts.
We wondered how long it had been for everyone - so we trawled through to find every club's last meaningful trophy. No shields. No pre-season cup or regional tournaments. We're talking a league title (at any level), a play-off final win, anything European and any one of the FA Cup, League Cup or EFL Trophy. That sort of thing.
From those who have been waiting the longest to those with the most recent trophy lifts, some of our findings may shock you...
92. Everton (FA Cup, 1994/95)
It's been a long and hard trophy drought for Everton since their 1995 FA Cup. One of England's 1980s superpowers receded into the background in the 90s - but this magnificent day at Wembley is still the last time the Toffees lifted a cup.
That's the downside, perhaps, of being a Premier League ever-present without challenging for the title - ultimately making them the club out of the 92 to have had to wait the longest for silverware.
91. Colchester United (Third Division play-offs, 1997/98)
Neil Gregory's decisive penalty was the difference for Colchester United against Torquay United at the old Wembley, with the Us winning 1-0 after finishing fourth in the regular season.
90. Ipswich Town (First Division play-offs, 1999/2000)
A 4-2 thriller at the old Wembley was enough to catapult the Tractor Boys back into the big time. Matt Holland captained the side as Ipswich beat Barnsley, propelling the side back into the Premier League.
89. Blackburn Rovers (League Cup, 2001/02)
The 1994/95 Premier League champions marked their first season back in the top flight with a first major cup win since the 1927/28 FA Cup.
88. Stoke City (Division Two play-offs, 2001/02)
After losing in the play-off semi-finals in 2000 and 2001, manager Gudjon Thordarson finally got the monkey off his back as the Potters beat Brentford 2-0 to return to Division One. Six years later, they’d be in the Premier League.
87. Middlesbrough (League Cup, 2003/04)
Boro lost successive League Cup finals in the 90s, but it was to prove third time lucky as Steve McClaren’s side saw off Bolton. A 2-1 victory in Cardiff gave the Teesiders their first – and, so far, only – major honour.
86. Shrewsbury Town (Conference play-offs, 2003/04)
With the scores level at 1-1 after extra time, this final at Stoke’s Britannia Stadium headed to penalties. And the Shrews made it look easy in the shootout, running out 3-0 winners against Aldershot Town.
85. Watford (Championship play-offs, 2005/06)
In the last Championship play-off final at the Millennium Stadium, Aidy Boothroyd’s Hornets made light work of Leeds, winning 3-0 in Cardiff.
84. Derby County (Championship play-offs, 2006/07)
Derby returned to the top flight thanks to Stephen Pearson’s second-half goal in the first Championship play-off final at the new Wembley.
83. Walsall (League One, 2006/07)
Goals from Trevor Benjamin and Kevin Harper won the title for Walsall in a 2-1 win against Notts County.
82. Tottenham Hotspur (League Cup, 2007/08)
Juande Ramos was in charge at Tottenham for little over a year – but he achieved something no other Spurs manager since 1991 has. Early in extra time, Jonathan Woodgate headed home Jermaine Jenas’ free-kick to see off Chelsea.
81. Milton Keynes Dons (League Two, 2007/08)
MK Dons fell three points short of 100 as Paul Ince's men claimed the only league title of their 17-year existence.
80. West Bromwich Albion (Championship, 2007/08)
West Brom gained their ‘yo-yo club’ reputation with four promotions to the top flight between 2002 and 2010. This was the only one they achieved as champions, though, winning the title by two points from Stoke.
79. Exeter City (Conference Premier play-offs, 2007/08)
Almost a year to the day since they suffered heartbreak at the hands of Morecambe, Exeter returned to the Football League. The late Adam Stansfield appeared in his third successive fifth-tier play-off final as the Grecians beat Cambridge 1-0.
78. Birmingham City (League Cup, 2010/11)
It was as dramatic as it was iconic. In the 89th minute at Wembley, Obafemi Martins pounced on a nightmarish defensive mix-up between Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny to secure Birmingham’s first major trophy for 48 years.
77. Brighton & Hove Albion (League One, 2010/11)
They were probably glad to leave the makeshift Withdean Stadium behind, but Brighton made their final season there a memorable one.
76. Stevenage (League Two play-offs, 2010/11)
In their maiden Football League campaign, Stevenage only went and got promoted again.
75. Reading (Championship, 2011/12)
It wasn’t their record-breaking 106-point campaign of 2007/08, but Reading won’t have cared as they returned to the top flight. Brian McDermott’s side sat seventh at Christmas but went on to win 17 of their last 23 games.
74. Swansea City (League Cup, 2012/13)
Plucky underdogs Bradford presented a potential banana skin for Swansea in their first major English cup final. The Swans made light work of their League Two opponents, though, inflicting a 5-0 thrashing to lift the trophy.71.
73. Gillingham (League Two, 2012/13)
The Gills won promotion from League Two for the second time in five seasons – but this time they avoided the stress of the play-offs with a first league title in 49 years.
