Wolves were without Bill Slater & Billy Wright |
Preston were without Tom Finney &
Tommy Docherty |

Without their two top defenders,
Wolves clinched the title against their closest challengers (who were
also without their two star players). Defending champions, Manchester
United were decimated by the Munich air disaster and finished ninth,
but in truth, they would probably not have caught Wolves, in any case.
