TBG English First Division 1991/92: Week 1 (17th August)

My next replay with The Beautiful Game is the final season before the First Division became the Premier League. Leeds finished top of the pile that year, and there are other teams who have fallen down the ladder also such as the two Nottingham sides.

You may recognise many names, one or two are still playing today, while others may be better known from playing on other teams in the future. Plus, there are two players who played for my own side, Canvey Island: Julian Dicks of West Ham, and Jeff Minton at Spurs.

The numbers in brackets represent the halftime score. (p) is a penalty. (xp) is a missed penalty.
