Statistics of Football League First Division in the 1991-92 season.

Overview

Leeds United won the last ever league championship before Premier League was born thanks to the efforts of players like Gordon Strachan, Lee Chapman, David Batty and Gary McAllister. On 26 April 1992, Leeds beat Sheffield United 3-2 at Bramall Lane and with the news that their challengers Manchester United lost 2-0 to Liverpool at Anfield, it confirmed them as champions.

Newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday, who were quickly emerging as one of the most feared sides in England finished in 3rd and secured UEFA Cup qualification.

The previous season's defending champions Arsenal slipped to 4th place and never made a serious threat to retain their title. The previous season’s runners-up Liverpool slipped to 6th in their first full season under the management of Graeme Souness.

Newly promoted West Ham United were relegated in bottom place. On 25 April 1992, West Ham's relegation was confirmed when they lost 1-0 at Coventry City. This win for Coventry also relegated Notts County - another newly promoted side —rendering their 2-0 defeat at Manchester City on the same day as academic. The last day of the season saw Luton Town lose their top flight status after 10 seasons. They needed to win at Notts County and for Coventry to lose at Aston Villa. Coventry did lose 2-0 at Villa Park but unfortunately for Luton, they lost 2-1 which kept Coventry up and sent Luton down. 17 years later they would fall into the Conference (the 5th level of the English football system).
