			DIVISION 1 1930/31

				P	W	D	L	F	A	*Pts*
Leading League goalscorer: Pongo Waring (Aston Villa) 49 goals With 128 League goals in the season Aston Villa equalled the League goalscoring record set by Bradford City in the Third Division (North) in 1928/29. That record stood until Peterborough broke it in 1960/61 but Villa's total still ranks as the highest number of League goals scored in the top flight in a season. Manchester United lost their first twelve matches of the season and eventually let in 115 League goals - the only time they have conceded a century of League goals in a season. They were relegated to Division 2. Blackpool let in 125 goals - still the worst ever in the top flight - but amazingly were not relegated. Grimsby must have been happy when their match at Highbury was abandoned when they were losing 1-0 - but when the match was re-staged they lost 9-1. Abandoned matches.
