In their single Cup Winners' Cup appearance (1978/79) they made it as far as the Quarter Final stage.

Eighty-six players have been used in total. Mick Mills making the most appearances (40) and Paul Cooper the second most (34). Dale Roberts, John Linford and Ulrich Le Pen making the least number of appearances with 1 each (all as substitutes).

Town have had nine captains. Mick Mills (40 games), Matt Holland (10), Andy Nelson (3), Allan Hunter (3), Paul Mariner (2), Ken Malcolm (1), Brian Talbot (1), Jamie Clapham (1) and John McGreal (1).

Ninety substitutions have been made in the 62 European games played. Kevin O'Callaghan the most used sub (7 occasions).
