1946-49
In the 1946-47 season after the War, Leeds United won just 18 points - the equal lowest First Division total until Stoke City's performance in 1984-85. They also recorded what remains to this day the worst away record in top-flight history, having gained just a single point from 21 away matches. Once relegation to the Second Division was confirmed, manager Billy Hampson was replaced by former player Willis Edwards.
Edwards proved to be a poor manager, and the 1947-48 season was a struggle against relegation to the Third Division. After just a year in charge, Edwards was moved back to the post of assistant manager, and the Leeds board appointed Major Frank Buckley.
