The 1966β67 season was the 68th completed season of The Football League.
The tables and results below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at the RSSSF website [1] and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888β89 to 1978β79, [2] with home and away statistics separated.
Beginning with the 1894β95 season, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped since the 1976β77 season.
Since the Fourth Division was established in the 1958β59 season, the bottom four teams of that division were required to apply for re-election. [2]
