Was it officially the best league in the world back then as well?
I've always assumed it was, but that's only because I simply can't imagine a time when football didn't revolve around the quality, competitiveness and integrity that is the cornerstone of the PL/Sky alliance.
Teddy Sheringham scoring the first Premier league goal on a live Sky broadcast surely just pips it?
What an honour that is for Teddy, to sit back, look at his medals and know that he ushered in the Sky era...
