[1] Don Howe served as club captain but suffered from a broken leg early in the season, featuring in just one game under Mee.

He was appointed manager for an initial 12 months, with an agreement he could revert to his previous position if it didn't work out.

[3][2] Although Tommy Baldwin scored four goals early in the season in the League Cup, Mee soon swapped him, plus £75,000, for George Graham from Chelsea.

[7] Mee's first season in charge began with a 3-1 win over Sunderland before beating West Ham, a team with three World Cup players (Bobby Moore, Martin Peters, and Geoff Hurst), 2-1 at home.
