Unofficial Champions of England: Leicester City 3-0 Bradford City, 06/05/2000

Matt Elliott celebrates his first goal.


Bradford City cemented their position as English Champions with a 3-0 win over fellow relegation battlers Wimbledon.

Their next game was away at Filbert Street to play Leicester City. The Foxes were in a comfortable mid-table position and had already booked their place in next seasons UEFA cup after winning the League Cup against Tranmere Rovers.
So, they had nothing to play for. Except the Unofficial English Championship, of course.

Bradford held on for an hour but were then undone by 3 goals in nine minutes. Two headed goals from Matt Elliott and a third from Tony Cottee won Leicester their 6th Championship to go along with their League Cup.
