John King guided Tranmere Rovers F.C to Leyland DAF Cup victory in 1989–90. Tranmere moved to the top of the Third Division after winning seven of their opening nine games including a 6–0 victory over Bristol City. They also took Tottenham Hotspur to a Littlewoods Cup fourth round replay. Following a poor spell they revived their promotion prospects with nine straight wins. Tranmere finished in fourth place but lost 2–0 to Notts County in the play-off final.
