1932–33 in English football

The 1932–33 season was the 58th season of competitive football in England. For the second time in three seasons, Arsenal were crowned league champions, building on a start of just one defeat in the first fourteen games. They clinched the crown with a 3-1 win at Chelsea in April 1933. [1] Meanwhile, Stoke City ended their nine-year wait for top flight promotion by attaining First Division status after winning an impressive 56 points over the campaign. Hull City and Brentford were also promoted. Everton won their second FA Cup defeating Manchester City 3-0 in the final. Lower league Walsall provided the surprise by knocking out Arsenal in an earlier round.

Events

5 November 1932 - Gillespie Road station on the London Underground - the station local to Arsenal Stadium - is renamed to Arsenal (Highbury Hill), on the suggestion of Arsenal manager Herbert Chapman.[2] By 1960, the station would become Arsenal tube station. It is the only Tube station named directly after a football club.[nb 1]

Notes
  1. Several tube stations, including West Ham and Wimbledon, share their names with football clubs, but only Arsenal was named directly after a club rather than the associated area.
