The Football League 1891-92

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Football League 1891–92 was the fourth season of English league football, and the last season of the football league running in a single division. Sunderland were the winners of the league which was their first ever league success. At the beginning of the season Stoke had left the Football Alliance and rejoined the Football League. Darwen also joined from the Alliance and their season was nothing short of a disaster as they conceded 112 goals and finished bottom.[1]
