Top scorer: Joe Cassidy (25 goals in all competitions).
Season in focus
Newton Heath finished second in Division Two, but the season did not bring promotion because the test-match system remained an obstacle. Joe Cassidy’s 25 goals made him one of the division’s most important forwards, while a third-round FA Cup appearance added interest. It was a near miss that showed both the team’s ability and the harshness of the era’s promotion rules.
