Unofficial Champions of England: Norwich City 2-1 Bolton Wanderers, 24/10/1999



The Allardyce reign as English Champion was short lived.

Bolton retained their title in a 2-2 draw with Crewe Alexandra before visiting Norwich City for a Division One game.

The Canaries had been stuck in the second tier for four years with yearnings for a return to the top. Two goals from midfielder Darel Russell (with one in reply from Ricardo Gardner) were enough for Norwich to claim their first ever English Championship.
