[Football] Who Were Top When You Were Born?

[Thunder Bolt]

I was born in August so the season had only just started, so no league tables.

 

[jessiejames]

Barrow were top.

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Born in the close season but the winners of the previous season were:

1: Liverpool
2: Leeds United
3: Coventry City
4: Gillingham.

We finished 6th in the Fourth Division

Double checked - we finished 8th.

 

[Questions]

Blackburn Olympic for me

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Should have seen this last night as it was actually my birthday! In my case MU had just won the title and we were 5th in Div 3(South)

 

[Grombleton]

Everton
Oxford
Bradford
Cheaterfield

We finished 6th in the 2nd Division that season.

I can only find the final tables for 1952-53 season.
Can anyone send a link to a site that has each weekend in the season?

I tried this one https://www.11v11.com/league-tables/

But it comes up with no league found. (I tried the saturday before my actual birthday too)

On the day I was born, Albion were knocked out of the FA Cup 0-1 at home to Leatherhead

Whilst you were crying in hospital I was crying at the match!

Good thread - I hadn’t realised that Liverpool were top when I was born back in ‘52 and we were top of div 3 south. Wow!

[Perfidious Albion]

In - 1947......Arsenal were top of Div 1.. surprisingly to me Grimsby Town were in Div1.......ALBION were 16th in Third Div South

 

[Trevor]

Liverpool
Coventry City
QPR
Stockport County

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Wow - I never knew that - when I was born Liverpool were 7th in Div TWO and we were 18th

 

[GT49er]

Four days before I ws born, we lost 2-1 at home to Millwall, in front of 25,000 plus at the Goldstone. That left us 2nd. in the league behind Swansea; the next match, 3 days after I was born, we lost 3-0 away to Swansea.
Sadly, we didn't really kick on, and despite thrashing Ipswich 6-1 on the last day of the season, we finished up in 6th. place. As far as I can remember, I wasn't particularly bothered .................

Thanks!!

Blackpool were top and the Albion were 4th in div 3 South.
(Only 3 games played)

 

[Official Old Man]

On the weekend prior to my great arrival Brighton had a tremendous home win against Southend United by 4 goals to nil in front of an all male crowd of 17,708. This put the Dolphins above their opponents and into 4th place in the Third Division South. Above Brighton are Leyton Orient, also on 24 points, Northanpton Town and Ipswich both on 25 points. Brighton finished the season second, one point behind Orient. Only one team went up.
In other news, Man Utd drew at home to Arsenal but stay top of the First Division and Tottenham Hotspur drew with Cardiff City but stay bottom.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

1970 - So Arsenal were top, Blackpool were bottom. (Division 1)

Brighton were 14th in Div. 3

 

[jamie (not that one)]

Games hadn't kicked off by that point in August but a week after I was born we signed Jimmy Case from Liverpool for 350k. I was a week old and had only learnt to count up to 300,000 so it seemed like a lot of money to me at the time.

 

[Blue3]

THS won division 1 and Brighton finished 16th in division 2

 

[kjgood]

Wolves were top of Division One, we were 13th in Third Division South. 1954/55 season
