Unofficial Champions of England: Rotherham United, Southend United, 1998-99
Following Cambridge United's victory over Watford in the League Cup, the Unofficial Championship took a brief detour into Football League Division Three.
Cambridge had retained their title with a win against Swansea City but their next game was a trip to Yorkshire to take on Rotherham United.
The Millers will likely never be regarded as a glamour club but on this day they were the Champions of England with a 2-0 win.
Talking of unfashionable places, Rotherham's three game run as English Champions would come to an end by the coast against Southend United on 5th September 1998.
Southend won 3-0 to claim the English Championship.
