The 1991-92 campaign delivered a vital return to the elite for FC Schalke 04, as Die Knappen secured a respectable 11th-place finish in their first season back in the Bundesliga after an emotional promotion from the second tier. Leading the charge were the joint-top scorers, Ingo Anderbrügge and Peter Sendscheid, whose 7 goals apiece proved crucial in a hard-fought campaign built on sheer passion and the energy of a top-flight comeback. It was a successful first step that secured their status under managers Aleksandar Ristić and Klaus Fischer and remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
