From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The 1914–15 season was the 44th season of competitive football in England.
Contents
Overview
The 1914 Charity Shield was not contested due to suspension of football during World War I
Events
- Suspicious patterns of betting on the game between Liverpool and Manchester United led to allegations of match fixing and the 1915 British football betting scandal. Eventually seven players (three from United, four from Liverpool) were banned from football.
- Tom Watson, Liverpool's manager for the last 19 years, died on 6 May 1915.[1]
