Geographical Extremes in European Football

I found an interesting document over at RSSSF (Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation) that I thought I'd share today (with all credit to the original author Sondre Zachiarassen and RSSSF).

They've put together a listing of Geographical Extremes in Europe in First Level leagues and European Cups. The list includes the northernmost, southernmost, easternmost and westernmost clubs to participate in and to win European cups and first level competitions.
