Chaos, Controversy and THAT Kick: 94/95 The Premier League's Most Dramatic Season

by Rob Fletcher

Overview

Chaos, Controversy and THAT Kung-Fu Kick is the astonishing story of the most eventful season in the history of the Premier League.

Not only was there a final-day showdown for the title between Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers, but there was scandal and controversy throughout. From George Graham’s removal from the bench at Highbury, to Paul Merson confronting his demons, a managerial sack race like no other, and the unforgettable sight of Eric Cantona’s flying boot connecting with a fan in the Selhurst Park crowd, the season was like no other.

On the pitch, Kevin Keegan’s Newcastle set the pace before Manchester United and Blackburn began their assault on the title. It was a season defined by strikers. There was Shearer and Sutton at Ewood Park, Fowler at Anfield, Klinsmann at Spurs and a blockbuster move that took Andy Cole to Old Trafford.

This season provides the ultimate story of football chaos.
