The 2002–03 FA Premier League (known as the FA Barclaycard Premiership for sponsorship reasons) was the 11th season of the Premier League, the top division in English football. The first matches were played on 17 August 2002 and the last were played on 11 May 2003.

Manchester United ended the campaign as champions for the eighth time in eleven years – an achievement made all the more remarkable by virtue of defending champions Arsenal having been in the lead by eight points on 2 March. Although this was a season of breaking new English domestic records for the Gunners,[nb 1] and leading at all fronts come the halfway stage, they threw away a priceless lead against Bolton Wanderers and finally surrendered the title with a 3–2 home defeat to Leeds United, in their antepenultimate game of the season. This result all but saved Leeds from relegation. Newcastle United and Chelsea were the remaining two teams, who qualified for the Champions League at the expense of Liverpool who had to settle for the UEFA Cup; they would be joined in Europe by Blackburn Rovers for their second successive season.

      Annual awards

      PFA Players' Player of the Year

      The PFA Players' Player of the Year award for 2003 was won by Thierry Henry of Arsenal.[32] This was the Frenchman's first award of the season and he beat off competition from the previous winner Ruud van Nistelrooy.

      The shortlist for the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, in alphabetical order, was as follows:

      Player Team
      James Beattie Southampton
      Thierry Henry Arsenal
      Ruud van Nistelrooy Manchester United
      Paul Scholes Manchester United
      Alan Shearer Newcastle United
      Gianfranco Zola Chelsea

      PFA Young Player of the Year

      The PFA Young Player of the Year award was won by Jermaine Jenas of Newcastle United.[33] Wayne Rooney was voted runner-up, and John O'Shea finished third in one of his first full seasons as a United player.

      The shortlist for the award was as follows:

      Player Team
      Craig Bellamy Newcastle United
      Jermain Defoe West Ham United
      Jermaine Jenas Newcastle United
      John O'Shea Manchester United
      Scott Parker Charlton Athletic
      Wayne Rooney Everton

      PFA Team of the Year

      Goalkeeper: Brad Friedel (Blackburn Rovers)
      Defence: Stephen Carr (Tottenham Hotspur), Sol Campbell (Arsenal), William Gallas (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Arsenal)
      Midfield: Patrick Vieira (Arsenal), Paul Scholes (Manchester United), Kieron Dyer (Newcastle United), Robert Pirès (Arsenal)
      Attack: Thierry Henry (Arsenal), Alan Shearer (Newcastle United)

      Premier League Manager of the Year

      The Premier League Manager of the Year award was won by Sir Alex Ferguson[34] for winning his eighth title and regaining the league after a superb second half to the season, involving an 18-match unbeaten run.

      Premier League Player of the Year

      The Premier League Player of the Year award was given to Ruud van Nistelrooy,[35] whose form, creativity and goals all helped Manchester United regain the league from Arsenal.

      Premier League Golden Boot

      The Premier League Golden Boot award was also won by Ruud van Nistelrooy who scored 25 goals in 38 league matches and 44 in all competitions. He also equalled his record of eight goals in eight successive matches at the beginning of the season, a milestone he had reached the previous season. Van Nistelrooy finished one goal ahead of Arsenal's Thierry Henry while James Beattie managed 23 league goals for Southampton. Since the reduction of the number of games from 42 to 38 in 1996, only Kevin Phillips had scored more Premiership goals in one season – 30 for Sunderland in the 1999–2000 season.

      Premier League Golden Gloves

      The Premier League Golden Gloves award was given to Chelsea goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini, who proved vital in their quest for UEFA Champions League football. He kept twelve clean sheets – the most in the season – and only conceded 35 goals. Viewers of ITV's On the Ball voted Cudicini, ahead of Southampton keeper Antti Niemi, and Blackburn Rovers' Brad Friedel.[36]

      Goal of the Season

      The annual award was won by a wonder goal from Thierry Henry against Tottenham Hotspur, on 16 November 2002, voted by viewers of ITV's The Premiership.

      Henry – chance for a break out, Wiltord to his right, Bergkamp to his left...they'll do well to catch up with Thierry Henry though...he's drifted away from Carr – HENRY! What a fabulous solo goal by Thierry Henry. A long distance goal followed by a long distance celebration...and Arsenal are back in the goalscoring business, after their midweek blank. Henry's been short of a goal or two just recently...but look at the confidence as he breaks from inside his own half, shrugging off Etherington, stepping away from Carr and from King...and picking his spot – he had options...but he had eyes for only one thing – the back of Kasey Keller's net. Thierry Henry moves into double figures for the season.

      — Clive Tyldesley on Thierry Henry's solo goal when commentating the North London derby for The Premiership on ITV1.[37]

      The French striker picked up the ball from his side of the pitch and ran almost 30 yards (27 m), twisting and turning the Spurs defence to unleash a thunderous shot. In celebration, he ran the distance of the whole pitch and skidded in front of the Spurs faithful. The goal proved important as it helped them regain their position at the top of the Premiership from Liverpool.

      Premier League Fair Play Award

      The Premier League Fair Play Award was won by Manchester United.[38]

      Footnotes

      1. ↑ After defeating Birmingham at the start of the season, Arsenal equalled a top-flight record of fourteen straight wins but in their next game at West Ham United failed to extend it, being held to a 2–2 draw. They remained unbeaten for 30 Premiership games, (23 of which were played away) until late October and Arsène Wenger's all conquering Gunners scored in 55 consecutive league games up until the visit to Old Trafford.
      2. ↑ Fulham temporarily relocated to Loftus Road after Craven Cottage was in need of a refurbishment. They were on course to move back in August 2004.
      3. ↑ This was the last season Manchester City played in Maine Road. They would move to the redeveloped 48,000 seater City of Manchester Stadium. Highlights of the season was the last ever Manchester derby, which was won emphatically by City. However, Manchester City did lose their last game at the stadium to Southampton.
      4. ↑ West Ham United manager Glenn Roeder was forced to take sick leave in mid-April after being diagnosed with a brain tumour during a Premier League match against Middlesbrough at Upton Park. Former Hammers legend Sir Trevor Brooking took temporary charge for the remaining three matches. Despite Brooking's efforts, the Hammers failed to beat the drop after drawing against Birmingham on the final day of the season.
