Watch it every Sunday morning on I-player. As it was 30 years ago, I can never remember the final scores!

You could see how good Lineker was even then!

Occasionally they show a Scottish match too

I remember it, because I was there! Just a teenager at the time, but remember it vividly. A huge away support and an incredibly important game for both sides. As I remember, the goal from Wilson came quite late on, 10 or 15 minutes to go or something like that. I also seem to remember that we defended for our lives thereafter.

Second Division

Queens Park Rangers were champions with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City also promoted to the First Division. Rotherham United, Burnley and Bolton Wanderers were relegated to the Third Division. It was another blow for Bolton, who had been relegated from the First Division three years earlier.

Charlton Athletic and Wolverhampton Wanderers both came within hours of going bankrupt but were both saved by respective new owners.

Leicester City's promotion was appealed against by Fulham after their final day match against Derby County was stopped with more than a minute to play due to a pitch invasion. Fulham's appeal was eventually rejected and Leicester City's promotion was confirmed.
