  • "I remember the feeling of nervousness and optimism as we travelled on the coaches to Liverpool.
    The fans on the journey out of Blackbun stood in their front gardens waving anything blue and white
    The welcome and best wishes from the scousers in the pubs
    The trauma of the game... I sunk to my knees when Rednap put away that free kick... how gutted I felt.. Then another Rovers fan dragging me to my feet shouting 'we've done it' everyone going mad and not quite sure if it was for real.
    The celebratiions round Anfield and the journey back where everyone was out from miles away waving us back like some sort of returning army from a battle.

    I got off the coach when we got back to Ewood to soak up the atmosphere. Just strolled around taking in how happy everyone was. I half knew it would never happen again and I didnt want to waste of second of it. I didnt need a beer to celebrate that night... just watching everyone dancing and singing and giving thanks to the man that made it all possible.... uncle-jack.
    (god bless him).
    I had travelled via land and sea and hitched hicked from Newcastle to get home for the match from Oslo.

    It was one of the greatest days of my life and made those wet Tuesday nights when we twagged school to get on a cold and half empty ribble bus to travel away to Hartlepool or some such place ... get run around town and beaten up just to watch us lose and go to the bottom of the 3rd division seem all worthwhile; what a great journey to winning the Premier League title... I wouldnt have missed a moment or changed a result ....that somehow made it all the sweeter...I never doubted we would be the Champions one day... not quite sure why but I am glad I kept the faith.

    God bless Jack Walker and I thank him for making it all possible."

Your memories of Blackburn Rovers' Premier League title triumph

Your memories of Blackburn Rovers' Premier League title triumph Your memories of Blackburn Rovers' Premier League title triumph

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?
