1890-91: Sunderland (two points) - registration issue
Teams being deducted points is nothing new. Indeed you have to go all the way back 133 years for the first example of an English top-flight side being penalised.

Scotland international goalkeeper Ned Doig played for Sunderland, but he had not been registered with the club for the required seven days, and therefore was still effectively a Blackburn player.
Sunderland lost two points, which dropped them from fifth to seventh at the end of the season.

1890? I bet 2 olde points was worth a lot more back in those days.
