After missing out on promotion in the previous season, Sunderland dominated the second division to return to the Premier League.
Kevin Phillips won the European Golden Boot award after scoring 30 goals in Sunderland’s first season back in the top-flight.
The Black Cats also beat Newcastle 2-1 at St James’ Park, which spelled the end of Ruud Gullit’s reign.

3. Blackburn – 1992/93
Position: 4th, 71 points

Cole’s form saw him join Manchester United in a £6million deal in January 1995 which saw Keegan address some Newcastle fans outside St James’ Park and explain the decision to sell him.
