Top 9 Premier League Records Of All Time

When the Premier League came about in 1992, few could have envisonged it becoming the commercial behemoth it is today.

The division is worth an estimated £7.6bn ($9.9bn), and has produced some of the most memorable moments in football history, so why not join us at SinkorSwimSports as we run through the best 9 Premier League records of all time.
