The Premier League is officially 30 years old.On Saturday, August 15, 1992, the Premier Leagues inaugural season began with a packed schedule of 15:00 kick-offs.Its foundation came as a result of clubs in the old First Division breaking away from the Football League in order to maximise their earning potential, with much of that initially focused around the po sibility of lucrative TV rights deals.As the Football A sociation (FA) hada strained relationship with the Football League at the time, the FA backedplans for the formation of the breakaway league, and in July 1991 the Founder Members Agreement was signed by the top-flight clubs.While the Premier League fell under the auspices Carmelo Anthony Jersey of the FA, the league was given economic independence from the governing body and the Football League, and that has been a major contributing factor in it becoming the behemoth we know in 2022.Thirty years on, many believe it to be the best league in world football, and on this day it only seems right to take a trip down memory lane with a look at key records, stats and figures from the competitions three decadesManaging expectations This is cla sic pub quiz territory: which manager has presided over the most Premier League games?You know its either Alex Ferguson or Arsene Wenger, dont you? You probably end up going for the Manchester United icon because of his sheer longevity.Alas, youd be wrong.Wenger took charge of 18 more Premier League games (828) than Fergie before he brought his long Arsenal career to a close.Neverthele s, Fergusons 13 titles lookunlikely to ever be matched. His closest rival in that respect is Pep Guardiola (four), with Wenger joined on three by Jose Mourinho.Play on, player Over the first 30 seasons of the Premier League, 4,488 playersappeared in the competition at an average of 149.6 debutants per campaign.If we ignore the inauguralandongoing seasonsfor obvious reasons, the Hassan Whiteside Jersey campaign with the most debutants was 2015-16 when 162 players made their Premier League bows.Of the nearly 4,500 individuals to feature in the competition up to the start of the 2022-23 season, Gareth Barry sits clear with the most appearances (653), the last of which came during the 2017-18 season with West Brom.Its a record that will take some beating, but if anyones got a chance of toppling him, its his former Manchester City team-mate James Milner.The 36-year-old, now of Liverpool, is fourth on the all-time list with 589outings.Forever young Everyone loves a wonderkid. The Premier League has seen more than its fair share over the years, and some got started very, very young.Mark Platts was the first 16-year-old to ever play in the Premier League when he made his Sheffield Wednesday debut in February 1996.When Matthew Briggs came along 11 years later and featured for Fulham at 16 years and 68 days old, youd have been forgiven for thinking his record would stand the test of time.It lasted 12 years until another Fulham player shaved 38 days off Briggs record that player was Harvey Elliott. Now at Liverpool, the Kent Bazemore Jersey young midfielder looks set for a glittering career.The name of the game Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mohamed Salah, Wayne Rooney when you think of Premier League goalscorers, these are probably the names that immediately spring to mind.Well, youre wrong. You should be thinking about Andrew Johnson, Glen Johnson, Tommy Johnson, Bradley Johnson, Roger Johnson et al.Why? Because there are more players with the surname Johnson to have scored in the Premier League than any other surname.There have been 21 of them to be exact, two more than the Williams clan.Synonymous.Get to the points Its been a frustrating few(nine?) years for Man Unitedfans, and this season has started in horrific fashion. But dont worry, folks, if you just look at the big (ma sive) picture, itll definitely all feel much better.United still sit top of the overall Premier League table with 2,366 points, giving them a healthy 219-point cushion over second-placed Arsenal.Manchester City may have won four of the past five league titles, a feat only United had achieved before them in the Premier League, but the real story is that theyre way back on 1,635 Premier League points.Yo-yo with the flow To be fair, almost every single one of you knows whats coming here.You gue sed it, Norwich Citys relegation from the last season makes them the yo-yoingest (yes, weve just made that up) club in Premier League history.That was their sixth relegation to go with their five promotions to the top flight since 1992, taking them one clear of West Brom, who have the same number of ascensions but only five demotionsto their name.I love goals, goals, goals, goals Of course, Shearer remains the Premiers League all-time leading scorer with 260, 52 more than Wayne Rooney in second.But Harry Kane looks to be in with a chance of usurping both England greats in fact, another solid season could take him beyond 200 as his header against Chelsea on Sunday took him to 184.Kane also appears among the very best goalscoring combinations in the competitions history as he and Son Heung-min have linked up for 41 goals thats five more than Didier Drogba and Pau Gasol Jersey Frank Lampard as the next-best.As for high-scoring matches, there have been three Premier League games that have finished with a nine-goal margin two were achieved by Man Utd (9-0 v Southampton in February 2021,and v Ipswich Town in March 1995) and Leicester City managed it in October 2019, also crushing Saints 9-0.Do call it a comeback Your teams trailing 2-0, youre despondent and bereft of hope. But then, out of nowhere Jaylen Adams Jersey , youve got a goal back. Then the equaliser. And then, just when youd convinced yourself this draw feels like a win, a third goes in, and its pandemonium.There are few more satisfying situations in football than when you team produces such a turnaround the despair you were feeling earlier only makes your full-time jubilation that bit moreintense.The biggest such turnarounds that led to wins all involved teams coming back from three goals down. Leeds United, Wimbledon and Wolves have all managed it in 4-3 victories, while Man Unitedbeat Spurs 5-3 from 3-0 down.No team havedone so since Wolves in October 2003, although Newcastle United certainly deserve a special mention they are the only team to find themselves 4-0 down and avoid defeat. Their 4-4 draw with Arsenal in February 2011 remains a Premier League cla sic.Stop the clock!
