The innovative Jimmy Hill, having played a major part in abolishing the maximum wage in 1961, had retired as a player and was now transforming the fortunes of Coventry City with his modernisation of multiple aspects of the club. His second full season would end with the third-division championship and by 1967, he had taken them into the top flight for the first time in their history, before leaving for a stellar career in broadcasting.

The only club still unbeaten in the Football League, Gillingham won at Doncaster to go four points clear at the top, and they were well on their way to their first-ever promotion. This was helped, in no small measure, by only conceding thirty league goals, and staying unbeaten at home all season in all competitions, a run that was extended to a record 52 games and just over two years, even though they were in a higher division in the following season.
