For No.1, we will go to the inaugural season of the Premier League, one full of surprises, starting with Norwich's stunning defeat of Arsenal at Highbury.

The Canaries were a struggling team that had barely staved of relegation the year before, finishing three points above the drop zone.

Meanwhile, the Gunners were First Divison champions two years ago and had just won the FA Cup and League Cup in the previous season.

As expected, the Gunners took a two-goal lead into halftime, with the goals coming from Kevin Campbell and Steve Bould. Just as it looked to be a routine outing for Arsenal, Norwich's stunning comeback began.

Mark Robins pulled the first back before David Phillips pounced on an error by the England Goalkeeper David Seaman. Ruel Fox gave Norwich the lead, before Robins once again scored, this time chipping Seaman from 30 yards.

The game was a sight to behold and one that truly captured the spirit of what the Premier League has come to embody today, an unpredictable league where anything can happen and anyone can win.
