Derby County 1992β93 football season
During the 1992β93 English football season,
Derby County F.C. competed in the
Football League First Division .
Season summary
Despite the addition of
Craig Short for Β£2.5m from
Notts County β a record for a team outside of the top flight and for a defender at any level β the club could only an 8th-placed finish in the
1992β93 Division One table , largely as a result of taking three points from their opening 7 fixtures, missing out on the playoffs altogether. Whilst the club did manage a trip to
Wembley for the first time in nearly 20 years β reaching the final of the
Anglo-Italian Cup , where they lost 1β3 to
Cremonese β and recorded a club record 7 consecutive away league wins, starting with a 3β1 win at
Cambridge United on 3 October 1992 and ending with a 2β1 defeat at
Brentford on
Boxing Day , 1992, the season was seen as something of a disappointment considering the amount of money spent and the players available to the club.
The Anglo Italian cup run, coupled with extended interest in the
Coca-Cola Cup (where they took
Arsenal to a third round replay) and reaching the
FA Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 9 years, taking
Sheffield Wednesday to a replay after a 3β3 draw at The Baseball Ground. meant the cup took part in 64 matches between 15 August 1992 and 8 May 1993, a new club record with
Paul Kitson taking part in 61 of them and finishing the season as leading scorer, with 24 goals in all competitions.
