30 is very much the theme for Rovers and myself this season. Of course, this season is the 30th Anniversary of Rovers’ Premier League title victory and on a personal note is my 30th season as a s

That Man Utd classic.

That was one of my favourite Rovers sides of all time, from the dependability of Big Brad, the shithousery of Savage, the guile of Gamst and the silky skills of Bently at his best, there was something for everyone. That game was an amazing spectacle, and Rovers more than deserved to win. Oh for the days when local rivalry was measured against the likes of Man U!! Happy Days, indeed!

Went to this game with my Man U supporting boss. He was quite chipper on the way down…less so on the way home.

Everything you want from a big game under the lights & possibly in the top 3 of my all time favourite Rovers experiences…👌

Strange season, appalling away from home, as good as ever at Ewood, Shearer possibly even better than before considering he was in a rapidly declining team.

Massive strategic errors that summer and our chance to have a sustained period at the top (my view was one that we could’ve have competed to around the Abramovich era, then petro-billions would have usurped us), and that decade at the top would have made us the undisputed club in the north west outside Manchester and Liverpool, especially considering the likes of Burnley and PNE were nowhere, just think of the coaches that came from all over, the supporters clubs that had been set up. The fanbase would even now be substantially larger, a Venky buyout would probably never have happened.

We blew it in the summer of ‘95, that team stumbled over the line and needed rejuvenating, loyalty should never come before progress - Ferguson was the master of that, he was ruthless in breaking up his teams when he had spotted a few had peaked, it was all a bit too cosy here, and that was that.
