Dave Davies took over the Club captaincy from Jimmy James. Dave was a suave individual and cultured full back recruited from senior amateur football. It was to be another uninspiring season for the 1st XI, and despite their lowly finish, there was never really much danger of relegation.
The outstanding achievement of 1958-59 was the Reserves winning the Division 1 title for the first time. Tragically there is no information anywhere in the Club archives regarding the team, but their record for the season was:

Another highlight of the season was when Carshalton hosted a "Showbiz XI vs Trade Music Guild XI" challenge match on Sunday 14th February 1959. A large crowd, estimated at 7000 watched the Showbiz XI, who included Mike & Bernie Winters, Alfie Bass, Harry Fowler, Andrew Ray and Tommy Steele (3 goals), come out on top 5-1. Peter Coates complained of picking up peanut shells for months afterwards.
