From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1940-41 season was the second 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 two regional leagues, one North and one South. Many fixtures were unfulfilled and winners were decided on goal average rather than points.
