The normal Football League had been suspended when World War II broke out. It was replaced with regional leagues - and in 1941/42 Everton played in the Northern Division up until Xmas and the League Championship after that. The League Championship comprised all 51 teams who had competed in the pre-Xmas Northern and Southern Divisions. Clubs did not all play the same number of games and positions were decided on average points per game multiplied by 23, with only those teams playing 18 or more games included in the final table. Many of the games also doubled up as League War Cup qualifying competition or knock-out ties. Match, appearance and goal statistics are not counted in any official records. |
