| A pineapple-less Jason Lee equalises for Watford |
Bournemouth first defence of their Unofficial English Championship was away to top of the table Watford.
Watford had already secured promotion but now they were looking to add the Division Two title as well.
It didn't start well for the Hornets when Bournemouth took the lead through a free-kick from veteran striker Mark Stein.
Watford equalised in the second half through a header from Jason Lee, who was better known to fans as a figure of ridicule on Fantasy Football League. Noted for being a bit rubbish in his Nottingham Forest days, David Baddiel donned blackface and put a pineapple on his head to mock his exuberant hairstyle and limited footballing ability. In fairness, Frank Skinner has since come out in his autobiography and said they went too far in their mockery but David Baddiel to the best of my knowledge is unrepentant.
Watford's winning goal came from the head of Gifton Noel-Williams, whom as far as I am aware has never been the subject of parody.
Watford were the new English Champions and a 2-1 win over Fulham a few days later won the Division Two Championship as well.
