Unofficial Champions of England: Nottingham Forest 2-1 West Ham United, 27/10/1993

Kingsley Black volleys Nottingham Forest ahead

Since becoming England's Unofficial Champions, West Ham United had held on to their title by earning respectable draws with Aston Villa and Norwich City and a 2-0 win over the mighty Chesterfield.

The League Cup (or Coca-Cola Cup as it was called at the time) brought the Hammers to the City Ground in Nottingham to play Nottingham Forest.

Forest had fallen on hard times since losing their legendary manager Brian Clough and being relegated from the Premier League the previous season. Still, they took a two goal lead here thanks to a sumptuous volley from Kingsley Black and a header from Stan Collymore.

Trevor Morley pulled one back but it wasn't enough for West Ham.

Nottingham Forest became the first Champions of England from outside the top division.

Unofficial Champions of England: West Ham United 1-0 Chelsea, 02/10/1993

Trevor Morley strikes for West Ham

Having dethroned Manchester United as England's Unofficial Champions, Chelsea had defended their crown on three occasions including a 1-0 home win against Liverpool.

A trip to Upton Park for a London derby with West Ham United was to prove too much for the Blues however.

Trevor Morley gave West Ham United the lead on 43 minutes with a fine effort from outside the box.

It would get worse for Chelsea just a minute later when Dennis Wise was sent off for a reckless challenge.

West Ham might have got more but one goal was enough to make the Hammers champions.
