The1983–84 season was the 85th completed season ofThe Football League.

Liverpool had a successful first season under the management ofJoe Fagan as they wrapped up their third successive league title and the 15th in their history. They overcame strong competition fromSouthampton,Nottingham Forest andManchester United to lift the championship trophy. Liverpool had an extremely strong season, as they also won theEuropean Cup and theLeague Cup.

Southampton finished second in the league to record their highest-ever final position and achieve aUEFA Cup place, claiming six points from the last two games (both away) to climb up from fifth place.

TheFirst Divisionrelegation places were occupied byBirmingham City,Notts County andWolverhampton Wanderers.

The £1 rescue deal ofChelsea by chairmanKen Bates paid off as they won theSecond Division title and were promoted to theFirst Division along withSheffield Wednesday andNewcastle United.

Cambridge United finished bottom of the Second Division and were relegated to theThird Division. They were joined by two clubs who had been enjoying better fortunes only a short time ago —Swansea City, who had finished sixth in the First Division just two years earlier, andDerby County, who had been league champions just nine years earlier. Derby'sPeter Taylor retired as manager and his surprise successor wasArthur Cox, who had just taken Newcastle into the First Division.

Dave Bassett agreed to take charge ofCrystal Palace at the end of the season, but changed his mind three days later — without signing the contract — and returned toWimbledon. Palace installed former Manchester United wingerSteve Coppell, 29, as their new manager.

Oxford United,Wimbledon andSheffield United continued their rise through the league by gaining promotion to theSecond Division.

Scunthorpe United,Southend United,Port Vale andExeter City slipped out of theThird Division.

Narrowly avoiding the Third Division drop zone werePlymouth Argyle, who compensated for their league form by reaching theFA Cup semi finals for the first time in their history.

York City,Doncaster Rovers,Reading andBristol City occupied theFourth Division promotion places. York City became the first team in English league football to gain more than 100 points in a season, with 101. It was Bristol City's first successful season for a long time and a reversal of fortune after their recent fall from the First to Fourth Division in successive seasons.

The re-election system voted in favour of the bottom four clubs in the Fourth Division once again.

Final league tables and results

[edit]

The tables and results below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found atThe Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation website,[1] with home and away statistics separated.

During the first five seasons of the league, that is, until the season 1893–94, re-election process concerned the clubs which finished in the bottom four of the league. From the 1894–95 season and until the 1920–21 season the re-election process was required of the clubs which finished in the bottom three of the league. From the 1922–23 season on it was required of the bottom two teams of both Third Division North and Third Division South. Since theFourth Division was established in the1958–59 season, the re-election process has concerned the bottom four clubs in that division.[2]

Liverpool won the league title for a third successive season, although it was a much closer contest than the previous season. They also lifted a fourth consecutive League Cup and also their fourth European Cup in eight seasons to become the first English team to win three major trophies in the same season.

Their biggest rivals in the title race wereManchester United, who led the table at several stages of the season before dropping points in several crucial games later in the season to finish fourth.Southampton enjoyed their best league season to date with a second place finish, whileNottingham Forest finished third and also reached the semi-finals of theUEFA Cup.Queens Park Rangers, newly promoted, finished top of all the London clubs with a fifth place final position - which saw managerTerry Venables offered the job as manager ofFC Barcelona, which he duly accepted.Tottenham Hotspur were unable to sustain a title challenge but lifted theUEFA Cup inKeith Burkinshaw's final season as manager.

Luton Town were surprise title contenders during the first half of the season before a dismal second half of the season saw them finish 16th.

Watford, the previous season's runners-up, began the season struggling near the foot of the table, before managerGraham Taylor brought Scottish strikerMo Johnston to the club as successor toLuther Blissett, and his new signing scored 20 goals as Watford climbed to a secure 11th place finish.

Everton were in the bottom half of the table and fans were calling for managerHoward Kendall to be sacked in November 1983, but the board kept the faith in their manager and gave him the green light to signWolverhampton Wanderers' strikerAndy Gray, who revived Everton's season as they climbed up to seventh place in the final table and ended their 14-year wait for a major trophy by beating Watford 2–0 in the final of theFA Cup. Gray was cup-tied for Everton's League Cup fixtures, but they still reached the final and tookLiverpool to a replay before losing 1–0.

Just one season after winning promotion back to the First Division, Wolves went straight back down to the Second Division in bottom place.Notts County were next to go down, having survived for three seasons in the First Division. The final relegation place went toBirmingham City.
