But wasn't it two points for a win and one for a draw back in those days ?

41 points in today’s money; second place. We’re doing slightly better!

This was how it looked after our Boxing Day game at home to Rotherham - which we own 4-2 - yes the equivalent of 41 points today

Around ten of those teams are still in broadly the same positions 59 year later!

Bidwell and Allen were tremendous that year as well!

Carlisle, Northampton, and Bury are the only ones that would look out of place in the modern Championship

Went to most of the matches that season. Gave Carlisle away a miss.
Jimmy Hill brainwashed us into thinking we were invincible, and we were for the last 25 games.
