Season summary

In the 1991–92 season, businessman Dan McCauley became Plymouth's new chairman, and his first major decision was to sack David Kemp and appoint England's record cap holder Peter Shilton as player-manager. Shilton though was unable to prevent relegation as Argyle finished 22nd in Division Two.
