Since the end of World War II, Town's league form was in dire need of a boost, but unfortunately George Stephenson's team would soon find out the hard way that staying in Division 1 would be harder than even he imagined.

Things weren't made easier with dreadful results against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Preston North End, Newcastle United and Sunderland.

Stephenson would leave Leeds Road in March and would be replaced by Stockport County manager Andy Beattie before the end of the season.
