Burnley F.C.'s 1920–21 season was the 29th of their seasons in the Football League, and their 4th consecutive season in the Football League First Division. After losing their first three games, Burnley had a 30-match unbeaten league run, winning the First Division and becoming English champions for the first time in their history. Their unbeaten run stood as a Football League record for more than 80 years. Burnley ended the 1920–21 season on 59 points, having won 23 games, drawn 13, and lost 6. They reached the third round of the FA Cup, defeating Leicester City away and Queens Park Rangers at home, before unexpectedly losing to Hull City of the Second Division. Burnley used 23 players during the season. Their top scorer was Scottish forward Joe Anderson, with 31 competitive goals. Eight new players were signed by Burnley, and eleven left the club. Match attendances were the highest they had been at the club's home ground, Turf Moor, with an average gate of more than 30,000 and a highest attendance of 42,653. (Full article...)
