Football League First Division 1922/23

The Football League First Division 1923/24 was the 32nd season of the highest English football league . It began on August 25, 1923 and ended on May 3, 1924.

Huddersfield Town won the first English championship in the club's history before Cardiff City tied. Both promoted Notts County and West Ham United were able to hold the class; instead, Chelsea FC and Middlesbrough FC had to move into the Second Division . These two clubs should be replaced in the following season by the two second division promoted Leeds United and FC Bury .

A total of 544 players were used, with Cardiff City and Everton having the least with 21 and AFC Sunderland with 29 the most players in league games. 141 newcomers opposed 135 footballers, who last came into play in the 1923/24 season. 17 players were able to play all 42 league games in their club.

    The Huddersfield Town championship team

    The following list lists all players who were used in a league game for Huddersfield Town during the 1923/24 season. It must be noted that in English football a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of missions and the goals scored are given in brackets.
