Unofficial Champions of England: Coventry City 1-0 Southend United, 16/09/1998

Paul Hall scores the winning goal for Coventry

Southend were the English Champions but the Worthington Cup brought up a big challenge for them in the shape of Premier League side Coventry City.

Coventry had made a poor start to the season and it would be another season of struggle for the Sky Blues. Southend fought valiantly but the class was too much as Coventry prevailed by a single goal from Paul Hall.

Coventry City won their second English Championship and for the first time in 18 months, it would be defended in the Premier League.
