Rovers Revolution Blackburn's Rise From Nowhere to Premier League Champions

Rovers Revolution Blackburn's Rise From Nowhere to Premier League Championsaf John Duerden
Bag om Rovers Revolution Blackburn's Rise From Nowhere to Premier League Champions

In June 1991, Blackburn Rovers chairman Bill Fox announced that his club wanted to sign the England captain Gary Lineker from Tottenham Hotspur. The news shocked Spurs, while the agent of the striker, who just a year before had nearly led England to World Cup glory, thought it was a publicity stunt. A few months later, Kenny Dalglish, the most famous football manager in the country, took charge at Ewood Park. The club were still in the Second Division, but the joke was over. Promotion followed, and in that summer Alan Shearer, the hottest young property in English football, joined for a British transfer record. Two years later, after finishing runners-up to Manchester United, Blackburn broke that record again to sign Chris Sutton, and then went one better and won the Premier League title. 30 years on from that monumental moment, lifelong fan John Duerden examines Blackburn's triumph and how it changed English football forever. Rovers may not have stayed at the top of English football for long, but their legacy remains. In Rovers Revolution, Duerden also reflects on the impact of that success on Blackburn as a club and as a town. He dissects in detail the seasons and events that led up to that point and the events that made sure it would never happen again.
