1954–55 Football League

December 04, 2023

The 1954–55 season was the 56th completed season of The Football League.

Final league tables edit

The tables below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation website[1] and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79,[2] with home and away statistics separated.

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 scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season.

From the 1922–23 season, the bottom two teams of both Third Division North and Third Division South were required to apply for re-election.[2]

Chelsea celebrated their 50th anniversary by winning the First Division title – the first major trophy of their history. They finished four points above runners-up and defending champions Wolverhampton Wanderers, who were level on points with Portsmouth and Sunderland. Manchester United recovered well after a slow start to the season and finished fifth. Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday went down to the Second Division.

statistics separated 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 scrapped beginning with the 1976 77 season
