Unofficial Champions of England: Cambridge United 1-0 Watford, 11/08/1998

Trevor Benjamin scores for Cambridge United


Champions Watford had begun life well in Division One. Their opening day bringing a hard fought 2-1 away win at Portsmouth.

Their next game was in the League Cup (now known as the Worthington Cup) and a seemingly favourable tie against Division Three outfit, Cambridge United. A minor shock was on the cards at the Abbey Stadium.

One goal was all that was needed as Trevor Benjamin was the quickest to react in the box to give Cambridge United the first leg victory.

Watford still had the second-leg to recover but Cambridge United had taken the English Championship.
