Unofficial Champions of England: Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 Leicester City, 14/05/2000


Alan Quinn scores Wednesday's first.

Leicester City were likely already on their summer holidays when they turned up at Hillsborough for the final game of the 1999-2000 season.

Sheffield Wednesday were already relegated, so it was a bizarre time for them to turn in one of their best performances of the season. Four goals from Alan Quinn (an excellent solo goal), Andy Booth, Niclas Alexandersson and Gilles De Bilde gave the rampant Owls the win.

So, it was some unwanted history for Wednesday as they became the first side to be relegated as England's Unofficial Champions.
