1941-42 in English football
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1941-42 season was the third season of special wartime football in England during World War II.
[edit] Overview
Between 1939 and 1946 normal competitive football was suspended in England. Many footballers signed up to fight in the war and as a result many teams were depleted, and fielded guest players instead. The Football League and FA Cup were suspended and in their place regional league competitions were set up. Appearances in these tournaments do not count in players' official records.
[edit] Honours
League competition was split into three regional leagues, North, South and for London. Many fixtures were unfulfilled and winners were decided on point average rather than total.
| Competition | Winner |
|---|---|
| League North | Blackpool |
| League South | Leicester City |
| London League | Arsenal |
| Football League War Cup | Wolverhampton Wanderers |
| London War Cup | Brentford |
