Sorry but Blackburn were akin to chelsea being a rubbish team until the new owner came in and poured millions into the club back then. Jack Walker started the trend of talking over clubs doing poorly and pumping in the money to buy the best players. So no it was not a shock when Blackburn won the premiership, they bought that league title
Blackburn were incredibly rich at this time. This wasn't the equivalent to Leicester in 15/16, it was the equivalent of Chelsea or Man City winning the league. Blackburn underachieved as they could have regularly won cups and competed with Arsenal and Man U up until the Roman Abramovic era.
I love this club
Its should be kenny dalgish retained as rovers coach one season more so he can guide rovers to win champions league 96 edition this???
Quality content ?
Leicester City's 2015/16 PL season….
now they have no fans ?
I'm the witness of Shearer and Sutton's era.
Blackburn is a legendary club.
If you have any respect for football's history, you have to respect the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End, Aston Villa.
Greatest day in the history of football.
GOD BLESS ??✝️?❤️!!!
Rovers????
Blackburn won the premier league before Liverpool
Rovers had the best of Shearer…which is often overlooked by the pundits & Geordies! Ludek we salute you!
Love you Rovers ❤️
RIP Uncle Jack ??. Hoping that we get promoted this year!
And he said to him there’s no success without work
My dad knew Jack walker and he went in his private jet just him and Jack walker and the pilots
Love my rovers. Can't wait to see them back up in the epl! I hope one day! Come on jdt!
The fact that Alan Shearer won the title with Blackburn and NOT with Newcastle is just Mind Boggling!
Get real and be honest, it’s all about money. It’s never been “Football,” it’s always been Moneyball. You’re a die hard Robot? Okay, read the history of “Football,” sorry, I meant Moneyball.
We're still the only town club to have won the Premier league ????
King kenny Dalglish. The gratest person that ever passed from Anfield
Underdogs ??
United choked ???
What a season that, I’m sure the West Ham keeper is still on Blackburn’s Xmas card list. ?? back in the Premier league soon ?⚪️
Wow man this series gives chills, keep up the good work, Sir Alex now Rovers?♥️
Up the Rovers ?
They won the league because Cantona Kung Fu kicked someone. Great story but mostly down to luck and fortune.
???
It's a fallacy that Blackburn bought their way to the title. Shearer and Sutton I give u but…
Sherwood 500 thousand
Le saux 900 thousand
Hendry 400 thousand
Wilcox youth team
Ripley 1.3 million
Berg 400 thousand
Batty 2.7 million
Flowers 2.2 Million
Ian Pearce 1 Million
Brilliant production
Premier league is now 30 years old. Cheers to more.
Why does Tim Sherwood look taller than shearer when shearer is 6ft and Tim is 5’10
Are they back in the Premier League!!??
This video Is very great ♥️?
Usual clickbait title. No one at the time was SHOCKED. The money they spent and the players they bought meant the only surprise was they only won it once and didn’t build on it. There were no oligarchs or sheiks or foreign sugar daddies back then so the playing field was much more level.
Best PL title won ??
One of the best stories of the Premier League. Rovers taking it to the big boys and beating them when nobody imagined it to be possible. A life lesson for us all to never give up and to think big. Anything is possible!
Thanks to Uncle Jack, Kenny, Shearer and everybody who played their part in putting Rovers on the map. Fantastic memories, fantastic days. It's a disgrace what Venky's have done to Rovers. Hopefully the club returns to the Premier League soon, it has been too long.
Jon Dahl Tomasson looks like a man on a mission at Rovers. Come on Jon, let's restore a part of the Premier League furniture.
The premier league is not the same without blackburn rovers
