  • The 1978–79 season was the 80th completed season of the Football League. Bob Paisley won his third league title at Liverpool as his side fought off competition from Nottingham Forest and West Bromwich Albion. Albion were in their first season under the management of Ron Atkinson, and pulled off a famous 5–3 away win over Manchester United with a team that included Bryan Robson, Brendan Batson, Cyrille Regis and Laurie Cunningham. The three relegation places went to Queens Park Rangers, Birmingham City and Chelsea. QPR had declined since the departure of Dave Sexton in 1977 and were relegated just three years after finishing runners-up in the league. Meanwhile, Chelsea's manager Danny Blanchflower paid for his team's shortcomings by losing his job. Money dominated the headlines during the season: Trevor Francis became England's first million-pound footballer after joining Nottingham Forest from Birmingham City. Liverpool became one of the first English clubs to have a shirt sponsor when they agreed a sponsorship deal with the Japanese hi-fi manufacturers Hitachi. Crystal Palace won the Second Division title, followed by Brighton & Hove Albion, who were promoted to the top division for the first time, and third-placed Stoke City. Going down were Sheffield United, Millwall and Blackburn Rovers. Shrewsbury Town were champions of the Third Division. The other two promotion spots were occupied by Watford and Swansea City. Peterborough United, Walsall, Tranmere Rovers and Lincoln City were relegated to the Fourth Division. Reading, Grimsby Town, Wimbledon and Barnsley occupied the Fourth Division promotion places. The success came for Wimbledon in only their second season as a league club. (en)
  • Футбольная лига в сезоне 1978/79 — 81-й сезон Футбольной лиги Англии, составлявшей на тот момент четыре высших дивизиона в системе футбольных лиг Англии. Чемпионом Англии по итогам сезона в 11-й раз в своей истории стал «Ливерпуль» (это был третий чемпионский титул, выигранный под руководством Боба Пейсли). Второй дивизион выиграл «Кристал Пэлас». Третий дивизион выиграл «Шрусбери Таун», Четвёртый дивизион — «Рединг». В 1979 году Тревор Фрэнсис, перешедший из «Бирмингем Сити» в «Ноттингем Форест» стал первым футболистом, за переход которого было заплачено более 1 млн фунтов. «Ливерпуль» стал первым английским клубом, заключившим спонсорский контракт с условием размещения на футболках логотипа спонсора — им стала японская компания Hitachi.
