The1986–87 season was the 88th completed season ofThe Football League.

Play-offs to determine promotion places were introduced in 1987 so that more clubs remained eligible for promotion closer to the end of the season, and at the same time to aid in the reduction over two years of the number of clubs in the First Division from 22 to 20.

At the same time, automatic promotion and relegation between the Fourth Division and theFootball Conference was introduced for one club, replacing the annual application forre-election to the League of the bottom four clubs and linking the League to the developingNational League System pyramid.

As of this season, there were no more re-election procedures, but instead, the club finishing last in theFourth Division was demoted toConference. The first casualty of this new practice wereLincoln City.

The First Division championship went toEverton in their final season under the management ofHoward Kendall before his departure toAthletic Bilbao. This remains Everton's last league title. His side overcame a spate of injuries to fight off competition from runners-upLiverpool and third-placedTottenham Hotspur. Fourth place went to George Graham's emerging youngArsenal side who also won the League Cup in his first season in charge. Fifth place went to newly-promotedNorwich City, whose managerKen Brown built a strong squad on a limited budget to achieve a finish which would have been enough to qualify for theUEFA Cup had it not been for the ongoing ban on English clubs in European competitions.

Wimbledon finished sixth in the First Division in only their tenth season as a Football League club.Dave Bassett's men had led the league for the first two weeks of September, but sixth place was still much higher than most pundits[who?] had predicted at the start of the season.Luton Town enjoyed their highest league position by finishing seventh.

Manchester United managerRon Atkinson had been under pressure for months, after his side had finished fourth in the league in 1985–86, 12 points behind the champions, Liverpool. The Manchester United board had initially decided to stick with Atkinson as manager for the 1986–87 season, but finally sacked him in November with Manchester United fourth from bottom in the league and having suffered a League Cup exit toSouthampton.Aberdeen managerAlex Ferguson took over, and results began to improve despite no immediate new signings being made, with Manchester United finally finishing 11th.

West Ham United, who had come close to winning the title the previous season, slipped to 15th place in 1986–87.

Aston Villa were relegated to the Second Division just five years after they won the European Cup. ChairmanDoug Ellis had sensed from the start that 1986-87 would be a tough season for the club, so he axed managerGraham Turner in September and replaced him withManchester City'sBilly McNeill. But McNeill was unable to stop the rot and Villa went down in bottom place. McNeill was subsequently sacked and replaced by Watford'sGraham Taylor.

Villa were joined on the way down byManchester City andLeicester City. In the first season of the relegation/promotion play-offs,Charlton Athletic beat Second DivisionLeeds United to retain their top flight status.

No European qualification took place due toUEFA voting to ban English clubs from European competitions for a third season following theHeysel disaster in 1985.

There were just two guaranteed promotion places in the Second Division this season due to the introduction of the playoffs and the phased reorganization of the league.Derby County finished top of the Second Division to clinch a second successive promotion and reclaim the First Division place they had last held in 1980.Portsmouth, absent from the First Division for nearly 30 years and who had missed promotion by a single place in the previous two seasons, finally achieved promotion by finishing second.Oldham Athletic andIpswich Town failed to progress beyond the semi-finals of the new playoffs, leavingLeeds United to take onCharlton Athletic in a two-legged contest for a First Division place. Charlton won the replay to keep their First Division status and condemn Leeds to a sixth successive season in the Second Division.

Financially troubledGrimsby Town were relegated, along withBrighton & Hove Albion.Sunderland's second relegation in three seasons condemned them to Third Division football for the first time in their history as they went down after losing in the playoffs.

Third Division

[edit]

The three promotion places in this division were gained by three clubs who were among the least fancied promotion contenders at the start of the season. ChampionsBournemouth were promoted to the Second Division for the first time in their history thanks to the efforts of hard working managerHarry Redknapp. Runners-up spot went toBruce Rioch'sMiddlesbrough, who had begun the season on the verge of extinction and had been forced to play their first home game of the season atHartlepool's ground because the official receiver had locked them out ofAyresome Park.

The relegation/promotion play-offs between the Third and Fourth Divisions sawBolton Wanderers go down to the bottom division for the first time.Newport County,Darlington andCarlisle United went down automatically. The Fourth Division would be familiar territory for Newport and Darlington, but Carlisle had not played in the Fourth Division for nearly a quarter of a century and just three years earlier had been in the race for a First Division place. Defeat in the playoffs meant thatBolton Wanderers would be playing Fourth Division football for the first time in their history.

Fourth Division

[edit]

The stars of the Fourth Division during 1986-87 wereGraham Carr's runaway championsNorthampton Town, with young midfielderEddie McGoldrick being the key player in his side's season of success. Northampton were confirmed as promoted with nine matches (19.6% of all matches) remaining, the earliest promotion in Football League history to date.[4]

Also automatically promoted werePreston North End andSouthend United. The fourth promotion place went toAldershot by winning the promotion/relegation playoffs.

Down at the bottom end of the division, an injury time winner forTorquay United kept them in the Football League after a police dog had bitten one of their players. The introduction of automatic relegation to the Conference sawLincoln City lose their league status in favour ofConference championsScarborough.

Burnley – league champions 27 years earlier – plummeted to new depths. They finished third from bottom in the league and only a win on the last day of the season prevented them from going down to the Conference.
