Alf Jones stepped down as secretary-manager at the end of the season.

Jones began acting as unpaid secretary for Small Heath Alliance in 1885, the year the club turned professional, became their first paid secretary with responsibility for team matters in 1892, when the club first joined the Football League, and had held the post of secretary-manager ever since.

Twenty-eight players made at least one appearance in nationally organised first-team competition, and there were ten different goalscorers.

Forward Benny Green played in 38 of the 40 matches over the season.

Shortly before the match against Nottingham Forest in February was due to start, a severe gale blew sections of the corrugated-iron roof off the grandstand.
