Bornyears ago, in September, the FA Premier League has since established itself as the most popular club competition in world football.
But first it endured a struggle to survive in the face of opposition from the players' union and the Football League.
It was touch and go for a year, then the breakaway elite

faced a new crisis with the exposure of the game's "bungs" culture payment made outside official arrangement, staining the reputations of Brian Clough and George Graham, among others.
The new league was threatened again by the very real possibility of financial meltdown, averted only by a widespread and controversial takeover of many top clubs by predatory owners from overseas.
