Summary
[edit]During June, Northern Irish Forward Ian Lawther was transferred out to Blackburn Rovers.[1] Also Johnny Goodchild[2] and Jackie Maltby left the club.[3][4] In July 1961, one of Clough's transfer requests was finally accepted and he moved to Boro's local rivals Sunderland for £55,000.[5] However, a poor start and a final day draw at Swansea saw the team finish third, a point behind Leyton Orient and nine points behind deserved champions Liverpool led by the inspirational Bill Shankly.
