The1938–39 season wasStoke City's 39th season inthe Football League and the 25th in theFirst Division. It was the final full season of league football until 1946 due toWorld War II.

Stoke again made no major signings despite a very disappointing campaign last season. After a poor start Stoke began to play well during the season and finished in a respectable 7th place having collected 46 points almost equalling their best points tally of 47.^[1]

Season review

[edit]

League

[edit]

Despite the scare of relegation last season, there were no significant new faces at theVictoria Ground for the 1938–39 season butFrank Soo took over captaincy fromArthur Turner.^[1] The fans did not share the club's confidence and their judgement appeared to be justified as the team spent the first three months of the season in the bottom four.^[1] ManagerBob McGrory's patience was wearing thin and he started to trim his squad, sellingCharlie Scrimshaw toMiddlesbrough for £3,000 and veteran Arthur Turner to Birmingham.^[1] To strengthen the attack, he recruitedArthur Griffiths andPatrick Gallacher but both players were struck down by injury after a handful of appearances.^[1]

New players or not, an amazing transformation took place and had Stoke beaten Leeds on the final day of the season and not drawn, they would have equalled their best points tally of 47.^[1] At home in particular they became a potent force and lost just twice at theVictoria Ground during the season.^[1]

FA Cup

[edit]

No progress was made in the Cup as Stoke lost in a third round replay toLeicester City.^[1]
