In 1958 the regional divisions combined to form divisions 3 and 4. A Northern League formed the following year that became Division 3 North. The Southern League became Division 3 in 1920.
Ī second division was added four years later for the 1892-93 season, resulting in the Football League now becoming the Football League Division 1, the top division for the next one hundred years. Three of the teams – Blackburn Rovers, Everton and Aston Villa – also played in the first Premier League season in 1992-93, but Notts County missed out, finishing in the relegation zone in 1991-92. The original league saw 12 teams become the founding members of the Football League in 1888-89: Accrington, Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Everton, Preston North End, Aston Villa, Derby County, Notts County, Stoke City, West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Where a different record exists for the top flight ( Football League First Division 1888–1992, and Premier League 1992–present), this is also given. Unless otherwise stated, records are taken from the Football League or Premier League. This article concerns football records in England.
