Mitchell scored the only goal of the 1st-half and, from a free-kick he scored Blackburn's 3rd. So he assisted Blackburn achieve 66 goals in 22 League games the 2nd highest of the season. Despite having made such an impact in one game Mitchell never played again and nothing else is known about him.[2]
