The1991–92 Football League First Division was the 93rd edition inFootball League First Division existence, and the division's final season as the top flight of English football.

Overview

[edit]

Leeds United won the last ever league championship before the launch of thePremier League, thanks to the efforts of players such asGordon Strachan,Lee Chapman,David Batty andGary McAllister. On 26 April 1992, Leeds beatSheffield United 3–2 atBramall Lane, and their title triumph was confirmed withManchester United's 2–0 defeat toLiverpool atAnfield.

Newly promotedSheffield Wednesday finished in third and securedUEFA Cup qualification.

The previous season's defending championsArsenal slipped to 4th place and never made a serious threat to retain their title. The previous season's runners-upLiverpool slipped to 6th in their first full season under the management ofGraeme Souness, although they did win the FA Cup. Liverpool'sMerseyside rivalsEverton finished a disappointing 12th – a three-place setback on their finish the previous season.

On 25 April 1992, newly promotedWest Ham United were relegated after their 1–0 defeat atCoventry City. This win for Coventry also relegatedNotts County – another newly promoted side – rendering their 2–0 defeat atManchester City on the same day as academic. The last day of the season sawLuton Town lose their top flight status after ten seasons. They needed to win atNotts County and for Coventry to lose atAston Villa. Coventry did lose 2–0 atVilla Park but unfortunately for Luton, they lost 2–1 which kept Coventry up and sent Luton down.

For much of the season,Southampton's 21-year-old strikerAlan Shearer was the target of much media speculation about a move to a leading First Division club. The likes ofLiverpool andManchester United were strongly linked with his signature during the autumn, but Shearer decided to stay put on the south coast before making a decision about his future at the end of the season. Shearer was capped for the seniorEngland side for the first time in February 1992, and scored on his debut. Another English striker who established himself as a top scorer at this level this season was theSheffield Wednesday strikerDavid Hirst, scoring the goals that helped the Owls win theLeague Cup and an instant return to the First Division in 1990–91, and finishing among the First Division's leading scorers in1991–92.

Manchester United's teenage wingerRyan Giggs, who had played twice for the first team the previous season, received plaudits for his outstanding performances and picked up thePFA Young Player of the Year award as well as aLeague Cup winner's medal, establishing himself as a regular player before his 18th birthday. Other young players who made the headlines this season wereLiverpool's teenage wingerSteve McManaman and new signingRob Jones,Aston Villa'sTrinidadian strikerDwight Yorke andNottingham Forest midfielderRoy Keane.

As a wave of new names began to dominate the English game,Tottenham Hotspur's high scoring strikerGary Lineker announced in November that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season to sign for theJapanese sideGrampus Eight, and also confirmed his decision to retire from the England team after theEuropean championships that summer.
