			DIVISION 1 1946/47

				P	W	D	L	F	A	*Pts*
Leading League goalscorer: Dennis Westcott (Wolverhampton Wanderers) 38 goals Severe winter weather saw dozens of matches postponed throughout the Football League with the season not finishing until mid-June, 7 weeks after the FA Cup final had been played. Stoke needed a last-day win at Sheffield United on June 14th to pip Liverpool for the League title but lost 1-2 to give the Anfield club their 5th League championship. Many thought Liverpool's success was down to a unique reason.... postponed matches Leeds United managed just a single away point - a 1-1 draw at fellow relegated side Brentford - in a disastrous season for them.
