1 December 1959: Bill Shankly of Huddersfield Town accepts the offer to become Second Division club Liverpool's new manager.

15 March 1960 Second Division Manchester City pay Huddersfield Town a club record £55,000 transfer fee for Denis Law.

Tottenham Hotspur, West Bromwich Albion and newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday completed the top five.

Luton Town, last season's FA Cup finalists, went down in bottom place, and were joined in relegation by Leeds United.

Huddersfield Town could only finish sixth in the Second Division despite the goals of brilliant young forward Denis Law, who was sold to Manchester City towards the end of the season for a national record fee.
