Unofficial Champions of England: Sunderland 2-1 Millwall 28/12/1993

Sunderland 1993/94, Champions of England (unofficial)

Since Millwall won the Unofficial English Championship in November, they had successfully retained it on eight occasions (all in Division One games): against Oxford United (twice), Bristol City, Tranmere Rovers, Grimsby Town, Notts County, Stoke City and Portsmouth.

Millwall were pushing for promotion that year but game 9 of their UEC reign was a bridge too far when they made the near 300 mile trip to Roker Park.

Sunderland won 2-1 to begin their first reign as Champions of England.
