The 1993 Man of Steel Award for player of the season went to Wigan's Andy Platt.
In March 1993, clubs voted to return to a two-division structure from the start of the 1993–94 season, which also included the scrapping of the county cup competitions.[1] The vote also controversially meant that the bottom three Third Division clubs would be expelled from the League, with several clubs threatening legal action against the decision.[2] The three relegated teams (Chorley Borough, Blackpool Gladiators and Nottingham City) were accepted into the National Conference League.[3]
