This freakish Jamie Pollock own goal vs Queens Park Rangers , that took place exactly nineteen years ago at Maine Road, was the own goal that effectively relegated City to the third tier for the first time in their history. The Man City v QPR game took place on the penultimate round of the season (April 25, 1998), and City needed to win to boost their chances of survival. Pollock’s own goal helped QPR draw 2-2, and their supporters were reportedly so grateful that they named him “as the most influential person of the last 2,000 years” in an internet poll later that year.
