First Division

[edit]

Manchester United clinched their sixth First Division title, with teenageNorthern Irish wingerGeorge Best excelling in a front-line already dominated byBobby Charlton,Denis Law andDavid Herd. They finished champions ahead of newly promoted Leeds United on goal average, after Leeds failed to beat already relegated Birmingham in their final league game of the season on the Monday before the Cup Final. Third placed Chelsea won the League Cup, 1963 champions Everton finished fourth, and Nottingham Forest completed the top five.

Birmingham City went down in bottom place, while Wolves were relegated to the Second Division for the first time in the postwar era following the dismissal of long-serving managerStan Cullis.
