During the 1991–92 English football season, Norwich City F.C. competed in the Football League First Division.

Season summary

In the 1991–92 season, Norwich's form for most of the season was satisfying which saw them by 21 March sitting in 13th, but afterwards things started to go downhill with a poor run which saw the Canaries lose 7 of their final 8 league games, collecting only one point which saw Norwich finish in a disappointing 18th place and one day before final game of the season, Dave Stringer handed in his resignation. Their cup form that season though was excellent where they reached the FA Cup semi finals where they ended up losing 1-0 to eventual finalists Sunderland, and also reached the League Cup quarter finals where they lost 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur.
