The '''1992–93 FA Premier League''' was the inaugural season of the [[Premier League]], the top division of [[Football in England|English football]]. The season began on 15 August 1992 and ended on 11 May 1993. The league was made up of the 22 clubs that broke away from the [[English Football League|Football League]] at the end of the [[1991–92 Football League|1991–92]] season. The new league was backed up by a five-year, £304 million deal with [[Sky UK|Sky]] to televise Premier League matches. In concept, the Premier League was identical to the old First Division of the Football League, which was now reduced to three divisions.

==Overview==

===Background===
{{main|Foundation of the Premier League}}
In May 1992, the breakaway league signed a broadcasting rights contract with [[Sky UK|Sky]] and the [[BBC]] valued at £304 million, the largest such agreement in the history of British sport.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LTIB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=0F91F3C8ED2DFF10&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=0D0CB57AB53DF815 |title=Premier League kicks off with £304m TV deal |first=Peter |last=Ball |work=The Times |access-date=16 January 2009 |date=19 May 1992 }}</ref> The league's executive committee was unable, however, to secure title sponsorship for the new competition after eight clubs blocked a proposed £13 million deal with brewers [[Bass Brewery|Bass]].<ref>{{cite news |url=http://docs.newsbank.com/openurl?ctx_ver=z39.88-2004&rft_id=info:sid/iw.newsbank.com:AWNB:LTIB&rft_val_format=info:ofi/fmt:kev:mtx:ctx&rft_dat=0F91F3C8ED2DFF10&svc_dat=InfoWeb:aggregated5&req_dat=0D0CB57AB53DF815 |title=Clubs ask Parry to resolve dispute over sponsorship |first=Dennis |last=Signy |work=The Times |access-date=16 January 2009 |date=18 September 1992 }}</ref> Nonetheless, clubs began to utilise their dramatically increased wealth to fund a series of high-profile [[Transfer (football)|transfers]].<ref name="TF">{{cite book|title=The Economics of Football|url=https://archive.org/details/economicsfootbal00dobs_469|url-access=limited|first1=Stephen|last1=Dobson|first2=John A.|last2=Goddard|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=0-521-66158-7|page=[https://archive.org/details/economicsfootbal00dobs_469/page/n396 377]|year=2001}}</ref>

Although the idea of a super league had been mentioned by football's governing bodies and evaluated by the media since the mid-1980s, plans for a new Premier League of 22 clubs were first unveiled by the [[Football Association]] in October 1990, and included in the Football Association's ''Blueprint for the Future of Football'', published in June 1991.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/nov/14/sport.comment|title=How the FA betrayed their own game|date=14 November 2004|via=The Guardian}}</ref> The majority of [[Football League First Division|First Division]] clubs, particularly long-established top clubs including [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] and [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], were in favour of a breakaway from the [[Football League]], although Football League president Bill Fox criticised the planned Premier League as an attempt by the Football Association to "hijack" the First Division.

Shortly before the season began, newly promoted [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] signed [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]]'s 21-year-old [[England national football team|England]] international striker [[Alan Shearer]] for a new British record fee variously reported as £3.3 million,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/159429.stm |title=The Kenny Dalglish file

The structure of the new league was identical to that of the previous season's [[Football League First Division]], comprising 22 teams, with each playing the other 21 twice for a total of 42 matches. [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] and [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] had been promoted from the old [[Football League Second Division|Second Division]] as champions and runners-up respectively, and [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] took the third promotion place after winning the 1991–92 Second Division [[Football League play-offs|play-off]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1991-92.html|title=England 1991/1992|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|access-date=15 January 2009|date=5 June 2004| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090201012024/http://rsssf.com/engpaul/FLA/1991-92.html| archive-date= 1 February 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref>

===Season summary===
The first Premier League title went to [[Manchester United F.C |Manchester United]], the club's first title in 26 years. Their title was achieved with a 10-point lead over runners-up [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]], after overcoming a slow start to the season which had seen them slip to mid table, with the signing of [[France|French]] striker [[Eric Cantona]] in late November proving to be the catalyst for their improved form which saw them lose just two league games after his arrival.

[[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]] led the table for most of the first half of the season, but their challenge faded in the final weeks of the campaign, and were out of contention with three games remaining, after they lost 3–1 to Ipswich Town. Norwich did however finish in third place, achieving European qualification in [[Mike Walker (football manager)|Mike Walker]]'s debut season as manager; with a goal difference of −4, this is the highest Premier League finish by a team with a negative goal difference. Blackburn, in the top division for the first time in almost 30 years, finished in fourth place. They briefly led the league early in the season, but suffered a shortage of goals after [[Alan Shearer]], who had scored 16 times before the turn of the year, suffered a torn cruciate ligament and missed the second half of the season. The title race was largely between the clubs who finished in the top four after early challenges from the likes of [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]], and [[Queens Park Rangers F.C.|Queens Park Rangers]] were not sustained.

Nottingham Forest's league form had suffered through the sale of key players including [[Des Walker]] and [[Teddy Sheringham]], and they were bottom of the Premier League for the majority of the season. Their relegation was confirmed in early May when they lost to [[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]], and manager [[Brian Clough]] announced his retirement after 18 years as manager, which had yielded one league title, two [[UEFA Champions League|European Cups]] and four [[EFL Cup|League Cups]]. Next to go were newly promoted [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]], who fell from mid-table at Christmas to go down in second from bottom place. Last to go down were [[Crystal Palace F.C.|Crystal Palace]], who failed to win their final game of the season which would have instead consigned [[Oldham Athletic]] to the final relegation place - Oldham's survival was secured with a thrilling 4–3 win over [[Southampton F.C.|Southampton]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Croke |first1=Ruaidhrí |title=The 22 original Premier League teams: Where are they now? |url=https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/english-soccer/the-22-original-premier-league-teams-where-are-they-now-1.3181343 |access-date=2 September 2020 |newspaper=The Irish Times |date=10 August 2017}}</ref>

Title holders [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] finished 17th, which was the lowest finish from a defending league champion since [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] finished 17th in [[1962–63 Football League|1962–63]] after having won the title in [[1961–62 Football League|1961–62]], and the lowest any top tier champions have so far finished in the Premier League.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/10-worst-english-top-flight-title-defences-ever?page=0%2C1 |title=The 10 worst English top-flight title defences ever |date=21 November 2016 |work=[[FourFourTwo]] |publisher=Haymarket |access-date=28 August 2017 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190412190759/https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/10-worst-english-top-flight-title-defences-ever?page=0%2C1 | archive-date=12 April 2019}}</ref> Leeds failed to win an away game in the league. The lowest a defending champion has finished since then has been 12th ([[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] in [[2016–17 Premier League|2016–17]], having won the title in [[2015–16 Premier League|2015–16]]). [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], who had been the English league’s dominant force of the previous two decades with an honours list including 11 league titles between 1973 and 1990, finished a disappointing sixth, and had been in the bottom half of the table as late as March.

In total 1,222 goals were scored, which until the [[2023-24 Premier League]], stood as a Premier League record, mainly due to significantly fewer number of games from [[1995–96 FA Premier League|1995–96 season]] onward.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.premierleague.com/news/3490140 |title=Record set for goals in a Premier League season |date=28 May 2023 |access-date=15 March 2024 |publisher=Premier League }}</ref> The top scorer in the new Premier League was [[Teddy Sheringham]], who found the net for [[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] in their opening game of the season before being sold to [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]], scoring a further 21 goals for the [[North London]] side in the league. [[PFA Player of the Year]] was [[Paul McGrath (footballer)|Paul McGrath]] of [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]]. [[FWA Player of the Year]] was [[Chris Waddle]], who helped [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]] achieve runners-up spot in both of the cups after ending his three-year spell in [[France]]. [[PFA Young Player of the Year]] was [[Ryan Giggs]], who won the award for the second year running, and also picked up a league title medal with Manchester United.

On 26 January, Wimbledon hosted Everton at [[Selhurst Park]] in front of a crowd of just over 3,000. More than 30 years on, this remains the lowest attendance recorded at a Premier League match. Despite their frequently low attendances, Wimbledon managed to climb clear of the relegation battle during the second half of the season to finish 12th.<ref>{{cite news |title="It was one man and his dog" – the day 3,036 watched a Premier League match |first=Paul |last=MacInnes |date=26 January 2017 |work=The Guardian |publisher=Guardian News and Media |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2017/jan/26/premier-league-lowest-attendance-wimbledon-everton |access-date=24 December 2022 }}</ref>

==Teams==
Twenty-two teams competed in the league – the top nineteen teams from the [[1991–92 Football League First Division|First Division]] and the three teams promoted from the [[1991–92 Football League Second Division|Second Division]]. The promoted teams were [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] and [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]], returning to the top flight after an absence of six, three and twenty-six years respectively. They replaced [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]], [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County]] and [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]], who were relegated to the [[1992–93 Football League First Division|First Division]], ending Luton Town's ten-year spell in the top flight, whilst both Notts County and West Ham United were relegated after only one year in the top flight.
