About Me
My first Rovers game was between Rovers and Newcastle United on 10th May 1998 at Ewood. Rovers won the game 1-0 with Chris Sutton scoring a stoppage time free kick which sent Rovers into 6th place and back into Europe!
Ever since then I have been an avid fan, and although my family and I have now moved away from Blackburn, we still regularly watch Rovers - home or away. The Worthington Cup win at Cardiff, victory against Manchester United at Old Trafford and the epic game of three missed penalties against Sheffield United are just a few of many highlights I have experienced with Rovers.
I have watched Rovers in four semi finals - Man United in the 2002-03 Worthington Cup at Old Trafford, Arsenal in the 2004-05 FA Cup campaign at the Millennium Stadium, Chelsea in the 2006-07 cup run at Old Trafford and Aston Villa in the ten goal league cup semi final second leg at Villa Park.
In addition to that, I was mascot for Rovers on 16th October 2004 against Middlesbrough. It was a special day for me and one that I will never forget - despite the 4-0 reverse.
In the 2009-10 season, I became a season ticket holder for the first time and reached a century of Rovers games in the goalless draw against Man United.
I have watched Rovers play all over England. From Hull to Portsmouth, I love my club and will travel any distance to watch them play and will continue to watch Rovers for as long as I live!
