Top scorer: Bob Donaldson (16 goals in all competitions).
Season in focus
Newton Heath entered the First Division for the first time but finished bottom, winning only six matches. Bob Donaldson scored 16 goals, yet the team’s defensive and away record left it in the test matches that preserved top-flight status temporarily. The season is important as the club’s first experience of the highest level of league football.
