TODAY is exactly 15 years since the unforgettable day when Blackburn Rovers claimed the Premier League title.
The world of football was turned upside down as the once unfashionable Second Division club toppled the mighty Manchester United to win English football's biggest prize.
Rovers lost 2-1 at Liverpool with the last kick in the last game of the season, but with United failing to beat West Ham, it was Tim Sherwood who lifted the trophy.
What are your memories of May 14, 1995? Were you at Anfield celebrating or following the drama glued to the radio at home?

This story has been on here for three days now and has only got 30 comments. . That is probably the total number of 'supporters' that bothered watching the game or those that still have an interest in the club now they are no longer 'champions'. . Take the story down and replace it with something more interesting like a dust museum.

Agreed. How about an interview with Kilby and Flood regarding their future plans for Burnley ;-). You know what i mean dont you? I dont have to spell it out. Stop wasting your time here and get yer season ticket bought for next year in the Championship at Premiership prices.
