Trivia
[edit]- Gillingham's Chris Dickson scored the winning goal against Crewe on 5 December at Gresty Road after spending one month on loan for the Railwaymen.
- Walsall's goalkeeper Clayton Ince received the November Powerade Player of the Month award just four days before playing against his former club. Ince, who spent six years at Crewe, said of the occasion, "...my feelings for the club will be put to one side for 90 minutes on Saturday." Ince kept a clean sheet in the match which resulted in a 0–0 draw.
- On 12 February, Crewe signed Ipswich Town midfielder Gary Roberts. Unusually, he is the second player with the name Gary Roberts at Crewe. He was assigned the shirt number 32, whilst the other Gary Roberts has the number 4 shirt.
- Ex-Crewe striker Luke Rodgers scored the final goal in the local derby against Port Vale, just as he did last season.
