Ford Sporting League

[edit]

TheFord Sporting League was a short-lived reward scheme sponsored by theFord Motor Company. Its only season was that of 1970–71. Clubs were awarded a point for everygoal scored at home and two points for every goal scored away, but lost 5 points if a player wasbooked and 10 points if a player wassent off.^[3]

Points could be earned over the first 42 league games (it did not apply to cup ties) only, so that the First and Second divisions were on an equal footing with the Third and Fourth.

Oldham Athletic won the competition, winning a pot of£70,000. League rules stipulated the prize money be used on stadium improvements, so the money went to build a stand in the stadium.^[4]

The £70,000 prize fund was made up of 8 monthly prizes of £2,500 and then a final prize of £50,000. The points total was cumulative, which resulted in Oldham winning each prize available, as they picked up only four bookings and no red cards over the 42 game period.

Ford's sponsorship of the competition is notable, with the 1970–71 season marking a watershed forsponsorship in English football. In addition to the Ford Sporting League, the season saw the firstWatney Cup and firstTexaco Cup, althoughThe Football League itself turned down an offer of £600,000 to sponsor theFootball League Cup.

Star players

[edit]

Frank McLintock was credited for his key role in Arsenal's double triumph with theFWA Footballer of the Year award.

Star managers

[edit]

Bertie Mee firmly re-established Arsenal as one of England's top clubs by guiding them to the double.
Dave Sexton guidedChelsea toCup Winners' Cup glory over Real Madrid to bring the Londoners their first ever European trophy.
Bill Nicholson added aLeague Cup triumph to his long list of honours atTottenham.
