Euro Cup runners up are forgotten within weeks. Premiership runners-up will be referred to throughout the following season. The Prem is regarded by many as the greatest league in the world, so comparing that to the Euro Cup, I know which one I'd prefer.

No-one is going to suggest it's anywhere near the prestige of the FA Cup, but it meant we beat all the other teams involved to the cup. Other certain teams won nothing at all.
