1947–48 Stoke City F.C. season (original) (raw)

The 1947–48 season was Stoke City's 41st season in the Football League and the 27th in the First Division. After narrowly missing out on their first league title last season there was a huge weight of expectation for the Stoke squad of 1947–48. But great misfortune was the story of the season as six key players suffered long term injuries all in September. The side battled on with inexperienced youngsters having to fill the gaps and relegation was a distinct possibility but they managed to recover and finish in 15th position.
