The 1992-93 campaign was a spectacular season for Aston Villa, as The Villans mounted a genuine and exhilarating title challenge in the inaugural Premier League, ultimately finishing a brilliant 2nd place under manager Ron Atkinson and securing a coveted UEFA Cup spot. The year was defined by the club-record arrival of Dean Saunders, whose 13 league goals spearheaded a lethal partnership with Dalian Atkinson, whose solo run and chip against Wimbledon won Goal of the Season. Anchored by the defensive masterclass of the PFA Player of the Year, Paul McGrath, this season of consistent form and high ambition remains a foundational and nostalgic chapter in Villa's modern history.
