The1937–38 season was the 63rd season of competitivefootball inEngland.

Overview

[edit]

Manchester City became the only team to have been relegated in the season after winning the league title as well as the only team to ever be relegated from the top tier of English football having scored the most goals in that particular season.^[1]

The points spread between the league champions,Arsenal, and the team that finished bottom of the league,West Bromwich Albion, was a mere 16 points.^{[citation needed]}

Arsenal won the title (the club's fifth) on the final day of the season with a mere 52 points from 42 matches after beatingBolton Wanderers 5–0 atHighbury, while the table leaders after the penultimate round of fixtures,Wolverhampton Wanderers, lost 1–0 to 10-manSunderland atRoker Park to be denied their first league title.^[2] Wolves, who finished as runners-up for the first time in their history, had to wait until1953–54 to win their first English league title, although by that time they had once again been pipped to the title late in the season – byLiverpool in1946-47.^{[citation needed]}

National team

[edit]

A tour to central Europe was successful as the England squad comprehensively beatGermany in front ofAdolf Hitler andJoseph Goebbels inBerlin as well as defeatingFrance inParis. However, between these successes was another defeat; toSwitzerland. The tour was considered very controversial as the players were instructed to give the German leaders theNazi salute during the anthems before the kick-off of the match in Berlin.
