I`ve got an unopened can of McEwans Lager with the Rovers badge (& Glasgow Rangers badge) printed on the can. It says something like 'Champions 1995' on it (Both clubs had McEwans as their shirt sponsors that year) I thought it might be worth something in a few years lol

I must have a look around the house for mine

I have one as well. Best before sometime around 1996, haha.

[Kelbo]

I have one as well. Best before sometime around 1996, haha.

I have the same, boxed with the official scroll, the first time a sponsor had sponsored both the champions of the top league in England and Scotland in the same season.

Nothing special Rovers related, but I do have a tea set that Jack Walker gave people at the Walkersteel factory.

My Grandad was very good friends with Jack and he passed it on along with that yellow and black away kit we had one time a few days before it was released (and a lot of the Rovers and England players years ago - he was the first hairdresser in Blackburn to do mens styling as such, Alberts his place was called)

I also have some signed Robbie Savage boots but I ended up using them in the Blackburn combination as they were a perfect fit

[80s russ]

1 Club tie from Souness's time

2 Henning Bergs silver nike boots

3 Damian Duff's predator boots

4 Signed Brad Friedel Kappa goalie from when he signed

5 signed Uhlsport home shirt from the kit launch

Ours were opened - I think loads of Rovers fans must have one lurking somewhere. Ours have lived on top of the cupboard in the kitchen pretty much ever since!

Other than cans:

- my favourite bit is a commemorative plate from when we won the league.

- a mini replica PL trophy with all the results engraved around the bottom.

- a couple of signed shirts and footballs

- a signed copy of Ronnie Clayton's autobiography 'A Slave to football' from 1960.

- a wine bottle with a Rovers badge on that Mark got me from Spain.

Very nice limited edition coloured print of the old BBE turnstiles

Is this from Homes of Football? I think I have got it also.

That takes me back. I used to get my hair cut and styled at Alberts. Lads went from all over Blackburn.

(Sorry,off topic but never mind.)

I have an autograph book which I started when I was about 8 or 9, with the following in off the top of my head collected on visits to Ewood:

Don Mackay, Simon Garner, Scott Sellars, Terry Gennoe, Mark Atkins, David May, Darren Collier, David Mail, Andy Kennedy, Steve Bruce, Glenn Hoddle, Peter Shreeves, Alan Shearer, Mike Newell, Tim Sherwood, Jason Wilcox, Colin Hendry, Tim Flowers, Ian Pearce, Stuart Ripley, Chris Sutton, Jack Walker, Bryan Douglas, Ronnie Clayton, Stuart Pearce, Gordon Taylor, Tom Finney, Scott Gemmill, Steve Stone, Juninho, Nicky Barmby.

We had come from Rochdale to watch the Forest game when we beat them 7-0 in 1996, we waited 2 hrs after the game to get autographs but there was no sign of Shearer. We had set off to get the train back when guess who comes out of the side gate at the Blackburn End? Owd Judas himself, 30 seconds either way and we would have missed him!

ha ha good to hear, obviously i used to hear about it but it's nice to have it vindicated some more. Funny thing is my wides a hairdresser and he trained a lot of the people she's worked with at Blackburn college

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The most unique piece of memorabilia I have are probably the two Ordnance Survey maps (Scale 1:1250) of Ewood Park pre-Walker days as well as the local area surrounding the stadium framed.

I've got a feeling the map was from the 70s but I could be wrong. It shows the Ferhurst Mill behind the now Darwin End. The Ewood Mill on the corner of Livesey Branch Road/Bolton Road. St Bartholomew's Church which was next to the C of E school. The Fernhurst Pub is on there too.

Wouldn't we all like to own a shirt that old pal,only ever seen one in a museum collection.

[RIML]

It's not exactly memorabilia but has anyone painted anything as good as this.

Yes that is the colour of my bedroom wall (Crown Paint's Custard)

Newspaper, the Sports Telegraph, from 21st April 1928 ....headline "Blackburn Rovers carry off the cup !" ,bought the evening of FA Cup final day by my grandfather after he had watched us beat Huddersfield at Wembley.....priceless.

[Hughesy]

Iv also got all the newspapers from when we won the league & also the league cup.

[rover_groo]

I sincerely hope that ain't in Clarrot n Bloo colours!

El Tombro,

No, it sincerely isn't a Clarrot n Bloo shirt. It was his 2nd game for Northern Ireland and gave it to me when he got back from the tour in America. However, he did get me an Alan Mahon shirt from his time in Turd Moor. You also have to hand it to him, Kyle brought in one of my Blackburn shirts for him to sign in the changing room that day in front of the rest of the players. So fair dues.
