The1971–72 season was the 73rd completed season ofThe Football League.
Brian Clough, 37, won the first major trophy of his managerial career by guidingDerby County to their first ever league championship. They overcameLeeds United,Liverpool andManchester City to win a four-horse race, with only a single point separating all four teams. There were later bribery allegations fromThe Sunday People newspaper regarding Leeds managerDon Revie and Leeds' final opponentsWolverhampton Wanderers.[1] The footballing authorities never investigated these allegations to decide whether they were true or not.
Nottingham Forest andHuddersfield Town lost their First Division status. By the end of the decade, Forest had made an explosive comeback to the top flight. 1971-1972 was Huddersfield's last season in the top flight until their promotion in 2016-17, and within a few seasons they would be in the Fourth Division — most of their existence since 1972 has been spent in the league's lower two divisions.
In the Second DivisionNorwich City andBirmingham City were promoted. This was the first time that Norwich City had reached the top flight.Charlton Athletic andWatford were relegated.
Aston Villa ended their two-year spell in the Third Division by gaining promotion as champions, and by the end of the decade would be firmly re-established as a First Division club.Brighton & Hove Albion followed Villa into the Second Division, but would not reach the heady heights that the midlanders would experience.Mansfield Town,Barnsley,Torquay United andBradford City were relegated.
Grimsby Town,Southend United,Brentford andScunthorpe United were promoted from the Fourth Division.Barrow were voted out of the Football League and replaced byHereford United, who a short time earlier hadachieved a shock FA Cup victory overNewcastle United.
Ernie Tagg sacked himself as manager ofCrewe Alexandra because he felt that a younger manager should take charge of the club.
The tables below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found atThe Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation website[2] and inRothmans Book of Football League Records 1888-89 to 1978-79,[3] with home and away statistics separated.
Beginning with the season 1894–95, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976-77 season.
Since theFourth Division was established in the1958–59 season, the bottom four teams of that division have been required to apply forre-election.[3]
