Unofficial Champions of England: Liverpool 0-1 Leeds United, 09/04/1995

Brian Deane celebrates his winning goal


Liverpool were on a roll, their previous two games had seen them win the Coca-Cola Cup and then become the new English Champions. But it all came crashing down at Anfield with the visit of Leeds United, their latest reign as champions lasting just four days.

Leeds are a side I possibly unfairly overlooked when deciding who the original Unofficial English Champions are, so three years on I can put that right.

It took just one goal to win it for Leeds, Brian Deane following up on Gary Speed's effort that hit the post.

Leeds United were, belatedly, the Unofficial Champions of England.
