2002–03 Walsall F.C. season


During the 2002–03 English football season, Walsall competed in the Football League First Division. It was the club's second consecutive season at that level.

Season summary

Walsall managed to avoid relegation to extend their stay in English football's second tier to a third season. Much of their success was down to the signing of key players, such as ex-Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Vinny Samways, returning to English football after a six-year spell in Spain.

Kit

Xara became Walsall's new kit manufacturers. Banks's remained the kit sponsors.
