The 1991–1992 season saw Leeds United competing in the final season of the Football League First Division before its rebranding as the FA Premier League, doing so by being crowned champions.
Having finished fourth the previous season, this time round Leeds clinched the First Division title, ahead of archrivals Manchester United, in only their second consecutive season as a First Division club. As champions of the Football League, United qualified for the European Cup, which would be rebranded as the UEFA Champions League for the next season. They lost just four league games all season, and were held to 1–1 draws both home and away by Manchester United (who also knocked them out of both domestic cups). Eric Cantona signed for the club in mid-season, making his debut at Oldham Athletic on 8 February 1992,[1] and scored three goals in the remainder of the season. Leeds clinched the title in the penultimate game of the season with a 3–2 win at Sheffield United. The first goal that day was scored by striker Rod Wallace, who had joined Leeds the previous summer from Southampton.
