Who was the top scorer in the inaugural 1992-93 Premier League season?

Teddy Sheringham was the top scorer in the inaugural 1992–93 Premier League season, finishing with 22 goals. He scored once for Nottingham Forest and 21 times for Tottenham Hotspur.

Sheringham began the new Premier League era at Forest, scoring in the competition’s opening weekend before moving to Tottenham early in the campaign. His goals for both clubs counted toward the same Golden Boot total, making him the first player to finish as the Premier League’s leading scorer.

A frequent mistake is to associate the inaugural scoring title with Alan Shearer, Ian Wright or Les Ferdinand, all major English strikers of the period. Manchester United won the first Premier League championship, but Sheringham—not a United player at the time—led the scoring chart. He later joined United in 1997 and won the treble there in 1998–99.
