  8. Single-game competition; listed in Goodwin but not Wikipedia.
  9. Note that in the early years of the Charity Shield the match was played in May, at the end of the season, rather than at the beginning as it was later. The 1920 Charity Shield is thus part of the 1919–1920 season.
  10. Lowest League finish.
  11. First team to win The Double in the 20th century
