Totally Gold 92/93: The Premier League begins

Back in the summer of 2020, Jimbo and co passed the time reviewing classic Premier League campaigns.

Here from the vault, we bring you the thoughts of Michael Cox, Daniel Storey and Matt Davies-Adams on the 1992/93 season - the dawn of the Premier League. A whole new ball game as Sky Sports called it.

Man United ended their 26 year wait for the title, in a campaign transformed by Cantona. Could English football have taken a different tactical trajectory if high-flying Norwich had won the Premier League?

Elsewhere, there was Oldham's incredible escape, Brian Clough's demise and big-name clubs being completely bamboozled by the new back pass rule.
