History

Ipswich Town win the Championship at the first attempt.

Tottenham Hotspur retain the FA Cup and qualify for the Cup Winners Cup.

The peculiar rules for admission into the Fairs Cup see Everton qualify after finishing 4th but not Burnley who finished 2nd.

Accrington Stanley (a founder member of the League) resign from the League on 6 March 1962 for financial reasons. They have been the least successful of the original twelve clubs who set up the League back in 1888.
