Top scorer: Dick Smith (20 goals in all competitions).
Season in focus
Newton Heath responded to First Division relegation by finishing third in Division Two. Dick Smith scored 20 goals, but the team was not close enough to earn an immediate return and lost in the first FA Cup round. The season set the pattern of a club capable of competing in the second tier but still seeking resources and consistency.
