The 1991–1992 season saw Leeds United competing in the final season of the Football League First Division before its rebranding as the FA Premier League, doing so by being crowned champions.

Season summary

Having finished fourth the previous season, Leeds clinched the First Division title in the 1991-1992 campaign, finishing ahead of archrivals Manchester United, which was only their second consecutive season as a First Division club. As champions of the Football League, Leeds United qualified for the European Cup, which was rebranded as the UEFA Champions League the next season. They lost just four league games all season, and were held to 1–1 draws both home and away by Manchester United (who also knocked them out of both domestic cups). Eric Cantona signed for the club mid-season, making his debut against Oldham Athletic on 8 February 1992, and scored three goals in the remainder of the season. Leeds clinched the title in the penultimate game of the season with a 3–2 win over Sheffield United. The first goal that day was scored by striker Rod Wallace, who had joined Leeds the previous summer from Southampton.
