1964–65 Football League

The Football League
Season1964–65
ChampionsManchester United

The 1964–65 season was the 66th completed season of the Football League.

Manchester United won its sixth league title and its first since the Munich air disaster of 1958. The Second, Third and Fourth Divisions were won by Newcastle United, Carlisle United and Brighton & Hove Albion respectively.

Final league tables

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.

Since the Fourth Division was established in the 1958–59 season, the bottom four teams of that division have been required to apply for re-election.[2]
