Match Description:
A History of The Premier League
It is the world's most watched league and the most lucrative - attracting the top players
from all over the globe. Hard to believe then that the first ball kicked in the Premier
League was as relatively recently as 15th August 1992.
The 1980s saw a nadir in English football. Stadiums were crumbling and hooliganism was rife.
English teams were banned from Europe following the death of 39 fans at Heysel Stadium in
Belgium ahead of Liverpool's European Cup Final against Juventus in 1985. Few of the world's
top players would even contemplate plying their trade in England.
Then in 1989 came Hillsborough and the Taylor report. 96 fans died and over 150 were injured
- crushed during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. Lord Justice
Taylor recommended a complete overhaul in the way football grounds were run and structured -
leading to the introduction of all-seater stadia.
