History

Chelsea won the League Championship, their first trophy. They were invited to join the European Cup, a new Europe wide knockout competition open to League Champions of European countries. The FA and the League refuse them permission.

Newcastle United won the FA Cup for a record-equalling 6th time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers played a series of midweek floodlit matches against European clubs. These set the scene for the acceptance of European competitions.
