Arsenal were the best-supported club in the country from 1929/30 to 1937/38 inclusive before Aston Villa topped the chart in the final pre-War season (1938/39). After the War, it was Newcastle (1946/47 to 1948/49), Tottenham (1949/50 to 1951/52), Arsenal (1952/53 and 1953/54), Chelsea (1954/55), Everton (1955/56) and then Manchester United (1956/57 to 1958/59).
