Chaos, Controversy and THAT Kung-Fu Kick is the astonishing story of the most eventful season in the history of the Premier League.
Not only was there a final-day showdown for the title between Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers, but there was scandal and controversy throughout. From George Graham’s removal from the bench at Highbury, to Paul Merson confronting his demons, a managerial sack race like no other, and the unforgettable sight of Eric Cantona’s flying boot connecting with a fan in the Selhurst Park crowd, the season was like no other.
On the pitch, Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle set the pace before Manchester United and Blackburn began their assault on the title. It was a season defined by strikers. There was Shearer and Sutton at Ewood Park, Fowler at Anfield, Klinsmann at Spurs and a blockbuster move that took Andy Cole to Old Trafford.
This season provides the ultimate story of football chaos.
Rob Fletcher's first book, 1992: The Birth of Modern Football, told the story of the major events that shaped an important year in football. He launched Boro Mag in 2020, a magazine and podcast dedicated to exploring the history of Middlesbrough FC. Covering topics focused mainly on football in the 1990s, Rob has contributed to magazines such as The Football Pink, KIT Magazine, Futbolista and others.
