1967–68 Football League
The Football League First Division 1967/68 was the 69th season of the Football League First Division as the highest English football league. Manchester City won with two points behind the defending champions and local rivals Manchester United its second English championship in the club's history. Both newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers and Coventry City could get the class; instead had to Sheffield United and Fulham take the course in the Second Division. These two teams should be in the following season replaced by the two newly promoted second division Ipswich Town and Queens Park Rangers.
A total of 482 players were used, with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur 18 with the least and Fulham with 29 mustered the most players in league games. 115 newcomers were offset by 108 footballers who most recently came into play in the 1967/68 season.

As regards the specific arrangements prior to the introduction of the Premier League, there is lack of clarity, all the players with an asterisk (*) have been provided which have received no champion medal presumably because of their small contribution. In brackets the number of bets as well as the goals achieved are called.
