Unofficial Champions of England: Barnsley 4-0 Sunderland, 29/03/1994

Nicky Eaden sends Barnsley on their way

Champions Sunderland had seen off challenges from Watford and Peterborough United, so a trip to Oakwell to play strugglers Barnsley should have held little fear for them.

Barnsley, always in the shadow of their more famous Yorkshire neighbours, were to show them how wrong they were.
First, when Nicky Eaden arrived at the back post to head in the first.
Then a mis-kick in defence left Andy Liddell one-on-one with the goalkeeper and he coolly slotted home to make it 2-0 before half-time.
In the second half, Andy Payton finished off a fine team move for 3-0.
Finally, it was a hat-trick of Andy's as Andy Rammell curled in an effort from the edge of the box to make it 4-0 to Barnsley.

It was Barnsley's moment to shine.
