Manchester United broke the British transfer fee record on 9 February by paying Leeds United £495,000 for Scottish defenderGordon McQueen.

Bob Latchford was the top goalscorer, winning a £10,000 prize offered by a national newspaper for the first footballer to reach 30 goals in a single season,[2] which had not happened in the First Division since the1971–72 season and in the Second Division since the1965–66 season.[3]

Brian Clough became only the second manager in the history of English football to win the top division title with two clubs, when he guided Nottingham Forest to their first ever top division title. It was an incredible achievement for a Forest side who were one of just a few teams to win the First Division title a year after promotion. Forest finished seven points above Liverpool, who retained theEuropean Cup. Everton, Manchester City and Arsenal completed the top five, while West Bromwich Albion finished sixth for the second successive season, qualifying for theUEFA Cup again. An exciting Coventry City side finished in 7th position, narrowly missing-out on UEFA Cup qualification. This was the club's second-highest ever league finish, after their sixth position in1969–70.[6]

Manchester United dipped to 10th place in their first season under new managerDave Sexton, whileBobby Robson successfully fought off relegation with Ipswich Town and then guided them to their firstFA Cup triumph of their history.

Newcastle United, who had finished fifth a year earlier, endured a terrible season and went down bracketed together with Leicester City at the bottom of the table. TheTynesiders had been in the First Division for 13 years, while Leicester's latest run in the First Division had lasted for seven years.West Ham United occupied the final relegation place, ending their 20-year spell in the First Division.
