Huddersfield Town 4 Swansea Town 1

Manager Eddie Boot watched on as John Bettany, Len White (pictured) and Kevin McHale grabbed the other goals, but this win was too late for the Terriers to mount an effective promotion challenge. The Terriers finished sixth in Division Two, with the Welsh visitors finishing a comfortable 15th.
