I believe that the first English football team to play in Europe was Manchester United - in the European Cup of 1956-57. They reached the Semi-Finals losing to Real Madrid 5-3. The first team to win a European Trophy was Tottenham Hotspur when they won the Cup Winners' Cup in 1963. The first English league club to play in Europe was, in fact, Birmingham City who met Internazionale on 15 May 1956. The result was 0-0.
