PREMIER LEAGUE 1996/97 | |||||||||||||||
Leading League goalscorer:
September 1996 and football fans wake up to the news that Tony Adams is an alcoholic. More light-heartedly,
perhaps the greatest footballing hoax saw the worst-ever player to appear
in the Premier League make his brief debut. |

Full home and away table *
Middlesbrough had 3 points deducted for the unauthorised calling off of
their match at Blackburn in December when they had team selection problems
due to injuries and illness. The points deduction saw them relegated - a sad
ending to a season which had also seen them beaten in the finals of both the
FA Cup and Coca Cola Cup -
postponed matches. |
