Season 1935-1936 Details

Billy Hampson immediately opted for experience with men like 34 year-old Albert McInroy from Sunderland in goal and 32 year-old George Brown from Burnley in attack, both former England internationals. Brown arrived in September after United had failed to win any of their first five games and quickly struck up a scoring partnership with Jack Kelly. Brown finished top scorer with 18 in the league followed by Kelly with 15. Jack Milburn was deadly from the penalty spot as his howitzers produced nine goals.
