In their 1963–64 season, their 32nd in the Football League, Gillingham F.C. competed in the Fourth Division. They were undefeated in their first 13 games, the longest such run by any team in the Football League, and by the end of September were top of the league table, where they remained for much of the season. In April, the postponement of several games allowed other teams to overtake them but they moved back into the [promotion and relegation|promotion]] places as they played their games in hand. They won the championship on goal average in their final game. They were eliminated in the first round of the FA Cup but reached the fourth round of the League Cup. The team played 52 matches, winning 26, drawing 15 and losing 11. Brian Gibbs was their top goalscorer with 18 goals in all competitions. Mike Burgess and John Simpson both played in every game. The highest attendance recorded at the club's home ground, Priestfield Stadium, was 17,421 for a game against Carlisle on 9 October 1963.(Full article...)
