Unofficial Champions of England: Blackburn Rovers 1-0 Middlesbrough, 09/12/1995



It was another quick reign as new Unofficial English Champions Middlesbrough visited Ewood Park to take on Premier League Champions Blackburn Rovers, who were looking to reclaim their dual PL-Unofficial Champions Crown.

Blackburn's form had been indifferent entering this match, they had just come off the back of a 5-0 defeat to Coventry City.
They only needed one goal to win this game, a side-footed effort from their talisman Alan Shearer on 40 minutes.

It was Rovers fourth reign as Unofficial Champions and second time as dual champions.
