Led by manager Howard Wilkinson and skipper Gordon Strachan, the 'Mighty Whites' stunned the football world by lifting the Division One crown just two seasons after returning to the top-flight.

Leeds battled head-to-head with Alex Ferguson's Manchester United before taking the ascendancy during late fixtures.

As Wilko's troops claimed a 3-2 victory in the penultimate game at Sheffield United, Fergie's team cracked in a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool signalling wild celebrations in the city and a third title for the club.

During a tumultuous campaign, the lead changed hands seven times between the top two before Leeds finally triumphed.

There was a first 'home' win over Liverpool in 18 seasons, thrilling away victories at Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa before a madcap game at Bramall Lane settled the championship prior to Mexican wave celebrations against Norwich City when the 104-year-old trophy returned to Elland Road.

Possessing the best midfield in the country of Strachan, David Batty, Gary McAllister and Gary Speed, United fans had new legends to follow in keeper John Lukic, strikers Lee Chapman and Rod Wallace, stalwart defenders Chris Fairclough, Chris Whyte, Mel 'Zico' Sterland and Tony Dorigo.

Steve Hodge made crucial cameo appearances while Eric Cantona provided a 'wondergoal' late in the season.

Leslie Silver was club chairman at the time.

"It was a wonderful day for us all when Leeds clinched the title," he recalled.

"We'd been working for it all season and the supreme confidence that we had in Howard as manager doing the job was unbelievable.

"Three years earlier we were in Division Two, but we'd achieved our objective of promotion as champions two years earlier, finished fourth in our first season in top-flight football and continued to win.

"There was an atmosphere as the club built for success and it culminated in the championship.

"Gordon (Strachan) was superb all season, but all the players played their part.

"We had a few drinks to celebrate and I particularly remember Gordon coming around with a bottle of champagne to share with us. Wonderful memories."

Councillor Ronnie Feldman was Lord Mayor of Leeds in '92 and enjoyed a special l'chaim with colleagues.

"When Leeds were crowned champions I was at the Civic Hall and we toasted the success with a large whiskey," he said. "Yorkshire TV wanted an interview, which I did down at Kirkstall.

"The following day someone remarked that I looked very happy, which I was, but he then told me I looked much happier than usual.

"Of course I was, but I couldn't let on that I'd had a couple of large whiskeys as well.

"The title success gave the city a tremendous lift. I was at all the home games that season as Lord Mayor. It was always enjoyable and I was absolutely chuffed when they won the championship."

Fan Michael Michaelson recalled: "My best memory was winning 6-1 at Sheffield Wednesday. We were sat behind the goal and it was a wonderful performance.

"There were a lot of memories about that season, some obscure like when we went to West Ham on New Year's Day and won.

"Driving home, we listened to Manchester United's defeat at QPR which was a marvellous moment as the title race developed. We knew then that we were in with a chance.

"Winning at Spurs 3-1 at the beginning of March was special.

"It was a wonderful season, the side was exciting and superbly led by Wilkinson.

"Everyone says Strachan was the most influential player, but for me Chapman was, because he led the line and was the catalyst up front.

"The midfield worked superbly well, but Chapman terrorised teams that season and was arguably Wilkinson's best buy."

Richard Winston concurred with Michael on the wins at Hillsborough and White Hart Lane, but also recalled a "remarkable game with bizarre goals at Bramall Lane" before rushing back to see Fergie's team blow it on TV.

"The performance at Aston Villa in November when we won 4-1 really signified the potential of the team and my first thoughts that maybe we could do this," he added.

"Going down to see the team and the manager parade the trophy was fantastic and the reception Cantona got was special."

Richard Abrahams recounted a winter clash when 10-man United dug deep to defeat Everton with a late strike.

"Wallace scored from an acute angle to give us a close victory," he said. "I remember thinking that's the type of mazel you need to win championships."

David Dresser noted that the most influential player was Cantona before the run in.

"Eric scored an incredible goal to cap a 3-0 win against Chelsea and it started to convince everyone that we could win the league," he said.

"After the game, I went with Howard Burleigh and Alex Trifunovic on a night out with Vinnie Jones, who was playing for Chelsea at that time, McAllister and Cantona.

"Whyte and others players joined us until the early hours of the morning.

"Another highlight was travelling in Howard legendary 'Leeds United' car to Sheffield United when our win ultimately clinched the title."

David's wife-to-be Dilani added: "Standing on a monument outside the town hall watching the players come through on the bus and the enormous party atmosphere.

"Everyone was singing, chanting and hugging each other."

David Bransby's stand-out memory was when Manchester United lost at home to Nottingham Forest and Leeds beat Coventry to go top.

"Strachan was the star player, but my most memorable goal was Chapman's second in a 4-1 win at Aston Villa," he recalled.

"As for the celebrations, I took my son Elliot to have our photograph taken with the trophy, which is a terrific keepsake."

Ben Reed and Leon Greenstone were teenagers back in 1992.

"What a season that was," said Ben. "It was a sensational rise from Division Two nearly men to the top prize in English football.

"I travelled all over the country with my dad to see Leeds on their glory quest.

"My memories are of a packed Elland Road, bouncing to Sergeant Wilko's Barmy Army and celebrating with my dad as we saw all those wonderful goals."

A stand-out moment for Leon was a rare Batty goal against Manchester City in a 3-0 early season win and Cantona's juggled goal against Chelsea.

"Strachan was a fantastic captain, but Speed was my favourite player," he said. "Together with McAllister and Batty that quartet was some midfield.

"The celebrations were wild and ecstatic, you had to pinch yourself."

Marshall Frieze noted the Sheffield United clash, thinking United had blown it when Blades striker Alan Cork opened the scoring before Leeds won with a bizarre own goal by Brian Gayle.

"I was among a number of lads including the Bickler brothers, Ashley and Marshall, Phil Frazer and Phil Shaffner, who attended most away games that year and returned jubilant from Bramall Lane hoping Liverpool would do us a favour," he said.

"As we all know they did and we ended up in City Square celebrating later that afternoon. It was a magical time."

As for me, the communal celebrations coincided with relocating to Leeds from Borehamwood so it was a busy weekend.

There are lots of timeless memories from my travels up and down the M1 that season.

Certainly the journey back to London from Sheffield United flew by as I listened to the commentary from Anfield but with the title in the bag, my fondest recollection was sitting with my dad and 30,000 plus fans waiting for the team to walk out for the presentation of the trophy before the last match against Norwich City.

With the umpteenth Mexican wave in full flow I remember telling my 'old man' to take in the atmosphere.

There have been plenty of 'ups and downs' following United. This was the ultimate 'up'. Hopefully it will not be too long before a return to the Promised Land comes about.
