Aberdeen's first senior trophy was the Southern League Cup, a precursor to the Scottish League Cup in 1946–47. The Southern League Cup was a restricted, wartime competition, and did not feature all senior Scottish teams at the time, but the official club history records it as the first major honour in the club's history. The following season, Aberdeen reached the final of the League Cup, and won their first Scottish Cup. They had appeared in a Scottish Cup final in 1936–37; a match which attracted 146,433 spectators, the record attendance for a club match in Europe. Aberdeen reached cup finals four times in the 1950s, their only silverware coming when they defeated St Mirren in the 1955–56 League Cup final. Following a final defeat to Celtic in 1966–67, the Scottish Cup was again won in 1969–70.
