They finished a disappointing 19th in the league, narrowly avoiding relegation, but also finished the season as FA Cup winners with a 3–1 win over Leicester City in the final. It was a successful first season at the club for record signing Denis Law, who scored 23 goals in the league and 29 in all competitions. The FA Cup win was United's first major trophy for six years and the first trophy they had won since the Munich air disaster.https://www.stretfordend.co.uk/seasons/season1963.html Manchester United Season 1962/63 21 December 2011 StretfordEnd.co.uk The Big Freeze of 1962–1963, was one of the coldest winters on recordhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2008/09/04/bigfreeze63_feature.shtml BBC London summary Football matches in the English leagues suffered because of the severe effects of the winter weather. Some matches in the FA Cup were rescheduled ten or more times.https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/52002473 War, weather and working weeks: the previous times football has been halted in England BBC Sport 29 March 2020 Matches in the fifth and sixth rounds, scheduled for 16 February and 9 March respectively, were played on 16 and 30 March. A board known as the Pools Panel was set up to adjudicate postponed matches to provide the football pool results. From 26 December to 23 February, United completed no league matches. The delays occurred before under-soil heating became widespread at major venues. When the thaw arrived, a backlog of fixtures had to be hastily determined. The Football League season was extended by four weeks from its original finishing date of 27 April. The final league fixtures took place one day before the rescheduled FA Cup final.
