Game 1: Burnley 3 Rovers 3, FA Cup, 1960 

ROVERS reached the FA Cup final in 1960, despite trailing 3-0 to Burnley in the quarter finals with only 15 minutes left.

Brian Pilkington put the Clarets ahead three minutes before half time and further goals from Ray Pointer and John Connelly followed.

But the Turf Moor tie, played in front of 51,501, turned in the 75th minute as Bryan Douglas converted a penalty, followed four minutes by a goal from Peter Dobing.

Mick McGrath then levelled the tie with four minutes left to complete a remarkable comeback and force a replay at Ewood Park.

Rovers won the replay 2-0 in front of 53,839. It was the last time a crowd of over 50,000 watched a game at Ewood.

Rovers: Leyland, Bray, Whelan, Clayton, Woods, McGrath, Bimpson, Dobing, Dougan, Douglas, MacLeod.

Game 2: Rovers 2 Sheff W 1, FA Cup, 1960

ROVERS booked their place in the FA Cup final for the first time since 1928 thanks to victory over Sheffield Wednesday.

A crowd of 74,135 was at Manchester’s Maine Road for the semi final, with Rovers hoping to make up for defeats in the last four in 1952 and 1958.

Rovers were again the underdogs but took the lead in the 13th minute as Derek Dougan hammered home, with the same man netting his second of the game in the 71st minute.

The Owls pulled a goal back as John Fantham headed past Harry Leyland with 11 minutes left, but Rovers had done enough to set up a final clash with Wolves at Wembley Stadium.

They were beaten 3-0, when Dave Whelan broke his leg.

Rovers: Leyland, Bray, Whelan, Clayton, Woods, McGrath, Bimpson, Dobing, Dougan, Douglas, MacLeod.

Game 3: Rovers 7 Tottenham 2, 1963

ROVERS’ incredible thrashing of Tottenham helped to signal the end of a great Spurs era.

Bill Nicholson’s side had won the double in 1961 and the European Cup Winners’ Cup earlier in 1963, but endured a nightmare afternoon in the First Division clash at Ewood Park.

Bryan Douglas produced a superb performance and put Rovers ahead before a double from Andy McEvoy made it 3-0 inside 26 minutes.

Goals from Jimmy Greaves and Dave Mackay made it 3-2 but Mike England extended Rovers’ lead after the interval.

McEvoy then added two more to complete a personal four-goal haul. Fred Pickering made it 7-2.

Rovers: Else, Bray, Newton, Clayton, England, McGrath, Ferguson, McEvoy, Pickering, Douglas, Harrison.

Game 4: West Ham 2 Rovers 8, 1963

ROVERS have won just once at Upton Park since this astonishing result on Boxing Day in 1963.

Rovers’ performance so impressive that they were given a standing ovation as they left the field.

West Ham boss Ron Greenwood, who would go on to manage England at the 1982 World Cup, was said to have told his players after the match that Rovers’ display was the blueprint of how to play attacking football.

Fred Pickering and Andy McEvoy both scored hat-tricks in the match, with Bryan Douglas and Mike Ferguson also finding the net.

Rovers led the First Divison at that stage, but finished seventh – losing at home to West Ham two days later.

Rovers: Else, Bray, Newton, Clayton, England, McGrath, Ferguson, McEvoy, Pickering, Douglas, Harrison.

Game 5: Burnley 1 Rovers 4, 1965

THIS victory remains Rovers’ biggest win at Turf Moor since 1890, after Mike England starred in a shock appearance as a centre forward.

England was a defender by trade but was surprisingly chosen up front for the East Lancashire derby and put Rovers ahead in the 16th minute.

He gave Burnley defender John Talbut a torrid time and Rovers were 2-0 up through Mike Harrison.

Andy Lochhead pulled a goal back but it was 3-1 after only half an hour when Andy McEvoy netted, and Bryan Dougas added a fourth in the second half.

The First Division match also saw some disturbances, with fireworks thrown from the crowd.

Rovers: Else, Wilson, Joyce, Clayton, Mulvaney, Sharples, Ferguson, McEvoy, England, Douglas, Harrison.
