The1967–68 season was the 69th completed season ofthe English Football League.
For the first time since 1937Manchester City won the league title, finishing two points clear of their local rivalsManchester United.Fulham finished bottom of the league and were relegated along withSheffield United.Coventry City, in their first ever top flight season escaped relegation by one point and would go on to stay in the top division until their eventual relegation at the end of the2000–01 season.
Bill McGarry'sIpswich Town team won theSecond Division by one point fromQueens Park Rangers, with both teams promoted.Blackpool finished third on goal average and so missed out.Rotherham United and bottom clubPlymouth Argyle were both relegated to the Third Division.
Oxford United won their first divisional title and achieved what was then their highest ever finish in only their sixth season as a league club in theThird Division. Runners-upBury joined them in promotion.Grimsby Town,Colchester United andScunthorpe United were relegated, although the biggest story concerned bottom placedPeterborough United who were docked 19 points for offering irregular bonuses to their players. Had the points been restored the club would have finished in the top half. As a result of the rulingMansfield Town escaped relegation.
Luton Town won theFourth Division and were promoted along withBarnsley,Hartlepools United andCrewe Alexandra. No clubs were voted out of the league.
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 replaced by goal difference, beginning with the 1976–77 season.
Since theFourth Division was established in the1958–59 season, the bottom four teams of that division were required to apply forre-election.[1][2]
