That 2nd spot was ridiculous too.
Taken from Walesonline:
Saturday's game in Yorkshire is one for the historians as Cardiff City and Huddersfield Town were involved in the closest finish to a top-level title race.
The Yorkshire club were crowned Division One champions on goal average, by 0.024 of a goal!
On the final day of the 1923-24 season, City needed a win at Birmingham to become champions.
But Cardiff drew 0-0 at St Andrews, Len Davies failing to score from a penalty, as Huddersfield beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 to take the title on goal average.
City had scored 61 and conceded 34, while Huddersfield figures were 60-33.
Had modern-day goal-difference had been in operation, both would have been on plus 27 – and the Bluebirds would have been league champions by virtue of having scored one more goal than their rivals!
