History

The League was expanded to 16 clubs.

A second division was also formed (with 12 clubs). The three clubs finishing at the bottom of the First Division would play off against the three clubs at the top of the Second Division. The winners of these test matches would remain in the First Division or be promoted from the Second; the losers would be relegated to or remain in the Second Division.

After five seasons, Accrington Stanley are relegated, never to return to the top division.

The FA Cup final was played at Fallowfield (in Manchester).
