Everything about 1990-91 In English Football totally explained
The
1990-91 season was the 111th season of competitive
football in England.==Overview==
First Division
Arsenal took their second league title in three seasons despite a season during which it often looked as though the good points would be outnumbered by the bad points. A player brawl in a league fixture against
Manchester United in October saw Arsenal have two points deducted, and a few weeks later captain
Tony Adams was given a four-month prison sentence for
drink-driving (he ended up serving 8 weeks). But Arsenal managed to keep up a great run of form throughout the season and were crowned league champions having lost just one league game all season long.
Runners-up spot was achieved by
Liverpool, who had led the table for much of the first half of the season but had been shell-shocked in February by the sudden resignation of manager
Kenny Dalglish.
Rangers boss
Graeme Souness was brought in as his successor but was unable to bring a major trophy to
Anfield. Third place in the league went to
Crystal Palace, who occupied their highest-ever finish, but were denied qualification for the
UEFA Cup due to Liverpool being readmitted to European competition a year earlier than anticipated.
Newly promoted
Leeds United had a good season back in the First Division as they finished fourth but never really looked like challenging for the title. They did, however, reach the semi-finals of the
League Cup, where they lost to Manchester United.
Down at the bottom end of the table,
Derby County went down in bottom place with just five wins all season despite the 17 league goals of
Welsh striker
Dean Saunders, who was then sold to Liverpool. The final relegation place went to
Sunderland on the last day of the season.
On
1 November,
Everton had sacked manager
Colin Harvey after three-and-a-half years at the helm.
Manchester City's Howard Kendall returned to Everton for his second spell as manager, with Harvey returning as assistant.
15 November saw two First Division clubs appoint player-managers.
Peter Reid, 34, stepped up to the manager's seat at Manchester City.
Terry Butcher, still only 31, was recruited from
Glasgow Rangers to take over from
John Sillett at
Coventry City, making him the youngest manager in the
Football League.
Bobby Campbell quit his managerial duties at
Chelsea at the end of his fourth season in charge, becoming personal assistant to chairman
Ken Bates and handing over managerial duties to
Ian Porterfield.
Jimmy Ryan was sacked by
Luton Town just after achieving a second successive last-day escape from relegation. He was replaced by
David Pleat, who had previously been at
Kenilworth Road from
1978 to
1986.
Jozef Venglos left
Aston Villa after one season to be succeeded by
Sheffield Wednesday's Ron Atkinson, who himself was succeeded by
Trevor Francis.
Queen's Park Rangers sacked
Don Howe at the end of the season, replacing him with
Gerry Francis from
Bristol Rovers.
Southampton's Chris Nicholl was dismissed at the end of his sixth season with the club, being replaced by
Crystal Palace coach
Ian Branfoot.
Second Division
Joe Royle's cavalier
Oldham Athletic side dramatically won the Second Division championship - an injury-time penalty completing a 3-2 come-from-behind win against Sheffield Wednesday in their final game, edging them the title from previous leaders
West Ham United, who would be promoted as runners-up. Joining them were
League Cup winners
Sheffield Wednesday, who finished in third place.
Neil Warnock guided
Notts County to a second successive victory in the promotion playoffs.
Hull City struggled throughout the 1990-91 season and not even the appointment of new manager
Terry Dolan could save their Second Division status. They were joined on the last day of the season by
West Bromwich Albion, who went down to the Third Division for the first time in their history.
Leicester City were saved from suffering the same humiliation by winning their final game of the season. Albion had sacked player-manager
Brian Talbot in
January following an
FA Cup exit at the hands of non-league
Woking, but his successor
Bobby Gould was unable to save Albion from the dreaded drop.
Newly-promoted
Bristol Rovers attained their highest league finish in years, finishing 13th. But manager
Gerry Francis then resigned to take over at Queen's Park Rangers, handing over the reins to
Martin Dobson, who was just weeks into his job as
Northwich Victoria manager.
Jim Smith left
Newcastle United in
March after more than two years at the helm, making a swift return to management with
Portsmouth as successor to
Frank Burrows, while
Ossie Ardiles was the new man in charge on
Tyneside after leaving
Swindon Town. 33-year-old
Glenn Hoddle was named as Swindon's new manager.
Colin Todd departed from
Middlesbrough after their failure to succeed in the playoffs, being replaced by
Lennie Lawrence who called time on nine years with
Charlton Athletic, who appointed
Alan Curbishley and
Steve Gritt as joint player-managers.
David Pleat was sacked by
Leicester City in
February, with
Gordon Lee taking charge until the end of the season and being replaced by
Brian Little.
Third Division
Champions
Cambridge United, runners-up
Southend United and third-placed
Grimsby Town occupied the automatic promotion places and all achieved second successive promotions. The fourth promotion place went to playoff winners
Tranmere Rovers, who ended a 53-year absence from the Second Division and made it clear they were prepared to stay there when they signed ex-Liverpool striker
John Aldridge.
Going down to the Fourth Division were
Crewe Alexandra,
Rotherham United and
Mansfield Town.
Dave Mackay was sacked by
Birmingham City in
January, with
Lou Macari taking over until the end of the season before replacing
Alan Ball at
Stoke City. Birmingham then turned to
Exeter's Terry Cooper, who replaced him with Alan Ball.
Reading sacked
Ian Porterfield after 18 months in charge, and signed Newcastle striker
Mark McGhee as player-manager.
Leyton Orient manager
Frank Clark stepped up to the role of Managing Director at the end of the season, with
Peter Eustace being appointed Head Coach.
Fourth Division
Brian Little's
Darlington won the Fourth Division championship to earn a second successive promotion, while the other four promotion places went to
Stockport County,
Hartlepool United,
Peterborough United and
Torquay United. Torquay were the eventual winners, beating
Blackpool in a penalty shootout, the first time the system had been used in the Football League.
Wrexham finished bottom of the league but they avoided relegation into the Conference.
Brian Little left Darlington just after their promotion success, taking over at Leicester City, leaving
Frank Gray to pick up the pieces at the
Feethams.
Manager
Cyril Knowles departed from Hartlepool on sick leave three months before their promotion, with player-coach
Alan Murray overseeing the final stages of the campaign. Murray took over on a permanent basis when Knowles confirmed that he'd be unable to return to the club following brain surgery.
FA Cup
Tottenham Hotspur compensated for a slump in form during the second half of the 1990-91 league campaign by beating
Nottingham Forest 2-1 in the F.A Cup final, although their triumph was overshadowed by a knee injury to star midfielder
Paul Gascoigne in the opening 15 minutes. In the previous round at Wembley against arch-rivals
Arsenal, Gascoigne had scored a tremendous free-kick in a surprise 3-1 win against the champions elect.
League Cup
Ron Atkinson's
Sheffield Wednesday earned a shock 1-0 victory over his old club Manchester United thanks to a goal from
John Sheridan - a self-confessed Manchester City supporter.
Biggest rise
Oldham Athletic won the Second Division championship to return to the First Division after a 68-year absence.
Biggest fall
West Bromwich Albion fell into the Third Division for the very first time, 11 years after reaching the UEFA Cup quarter finals and 12 years after missing the league championship by just two places.

Significant Events
Dalglish cracks under the pressure

22 February 1991, blaming the pressures of the job on his decision to quit. He was replaced by Graeme Souness of Glasgow Rangers, but Souness was unable to stop Arsenal from beating Liverpool to the league title.
Arsenal and United penalised for brawl
Arsenal were deducted two points and Manchester United were deducted one point after a brawl between players on both sides in an October fixture at Old Trafford. But the blow didn't have much damage on either team, as Arsenal went on to win the league title and Manchester United won the Cup Winners Cup.
Graham's gunners grab title
Despite the two-point deduction imposed for the Old Trafford fracas, and the absence of captain Tony Adams for eight weeks in mid-season while he served a prison sentence for drink-driving, Arsenal cruised to the league title with a seven-point margin over runners-up Liverpool and just one defeat on the way.
Gazza's injury agony sours Tottenham's joy

On 15 November, a month before his 32nd birthday, Rangers and England defender
Terry Butcher was appointed player-manager of Coventry City to replace

Wednesday's trophy drought ends after 55 years
Sheffield Wednesday won the League Cup for the first time in their history with a 1-0 win over Manchester United - manager Ron Atkinson's old club.

Aldershot saved by 19-year-old investor
Aldershot were saved from closure in August 1990 after 19-year-old "property developer" Spencer Trethewy signed an affadavit for around £200,000 which saw off a winding-up order; however, other parties paid the money on his behalf, and within three months he was dismissed from the club's board of directors when he failed to repay the sums he'd borrowed.
Albion sink to their lowest ebb
West Bromwich Albion were relegated to the Third Division for the first time in their history, little over a decade after they'd almost won the league title. This disappointment came at the end of a season during which they'd been knocked out of the F.A Cup by non-league Woking.
Sheringham tops the goalscoring charts
Millwall striker Teddy Sheringham was the leading goalscorer in England with 38 goals in all competitions, but was put on the transfer list after his club failed to navigate the Second Division playoffs. After the season was over, he joined Nottingham Forest in a £2million deal.
