Is that in Premier League history or English 1st division history? Curious if it's like Liverpool winning their first ever Premier League title, while ignoring their 18 titles won when it wasn't known as Premier League.

Tweet said Premier League, so I assume the former.

I think it's weird when people make that distinction, directed at the tweet, not you.

Eh, I don't. They're two distinct eras of football, it wasn't just a rebranding. Especially given that the Premier League era is almost 30 years long at this point, I don't think there's anything wrong with noting stats that are just in the Premier League era, and people pretty much always clarify if the stat they're referring to is just in the PL era.
