6 champions who bombed the following year

Manchester City – 1937/38

The 1936/37 season saw a dominant Manchester City team stroll to the title on the back of a 100 goals and a 22-game unbeaten run, but this is not why they are in the history books.

Despite being the league’s top scoring team with 80 goals, City became the first, and only reigning top-flight champions England has ever seen relegated.

No matter where Leicester finish in the 2016/17 season, this is one record their fans will be hoping they don’t emulate.
