First Division

[edit]

In the last season of captainBilly Wright's playing career, Wolves retained their First Division title – the third time they had been league champions in six seasons. There was every reason to hope for continued success in the post-Wright era, though, with younger players likeBobby Mason andMickey Lill excelling in the team. Manchester United enjoyed a good return in the season following the Munich tragedy, as new signings and younger players integrated with crash survivors to achieve runners-up spot in the league. Arsenal, Bolton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion completed the top five, while newly promoted West Ham United recorded their highest league finish yet by finishing sixth.

Third Division

[edit]

Plymouth Argyle won the first championship of the new national Third Division, with Hull City finishing one point behind them in second place. Norwich City made the headlines with their run to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but the cup run distracted them from the league as fourth place in the final table was not enough for promotion.

National team

[edit]

Although theEngland national football team eventually shared victory in the1959 British Home Championship withNorthern Ireland, it was a tough year without so many of the squad's key players lost in theMunich air disaster the year before. The season concluded with a disastrous tour of the Americas, in which the team lost three successive games before restoring some pride in the final match against theUSA. The final game against the USA was also the last match for veteran defender and captainBilly Wright after a then record 105 caps. The match was played in front of just 13,000 fans on a gravel pitch in Los Angeles.
