1992–93 Liverpool F.C. Season
The 1992–93 season was the 101st season in Liverpool F.C.'s existence, and their 31st consecutive year in the top-flight. Having won the FA Cup the previous season, Liverpool had qualified for the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. New members of the side for the 1992–93 season included goalkeeper David James, Hungarian midfielder István Kozma, Danish defender Torben Piechnik and attacking midfielder Paul Stewart. The close season had seen the departure of defender Barry Venison and winger Ray Houghton. A few weeks into the season, striker Dean Saunders also headed out of Anfield to sign for Aston Villa.

But their failure to make an impact in the cup competitions meant that their season ended without a trophy and left them without any European football for the 1993–94 season. This season covered the period from 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993. Players Fi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
