Time flies .. It just seems like yesterday when I watched my favourite team, Blackburn Rovers, win the Premiership title .. exactly 13 years ago today, in 1995. Winning the league is a great achievement, especially if your team is not among the big clubs .. but thanks to Jack Walker, or Uncle Jack (below) as he is affectionately known .. he has brought joy to the hearts of many loyal fans. Sadly, Uncle Jack is no longer with us .. but his legacy remains to this day .. as his family still owns the club .. and runs it according to his principles.
Seven years would pass, before Blackburn returned to such heady heights .. with the League Cup win in 2002. Although a trophy nonetheless, the Premiership title was still a bigger honour ..
Here's waiting for the next trophy .. it may take months, years or decades .. but when it comes, it will surely be a sweet feeling.
