Blackburn Rovers - Honours & Achievements
It is amazing
that a small-town club can achieve far more than fellow town clubs
and yet able to complete with more popular and larger city clubs.
Blackburn Rovers started hunting for her first trophy, the then
prestigous F.A. Cup back in the old days. The first trophy was
almost won in 25 March 1881 when Blackburn Rovers lost to Old
Etonians in her first F.A. Cup Final.
2 years later, Rovers made a remarkable comeback to win the F.A.
Cup for consecutive 3 years from strong sides of Queens Park,
and West Brom.
In 1889,arch-rival
Burnley won their first honours, winning the Lancashire Cup
with a 2-0 final victory over Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn
responded with F.A Cup honours in the two seasons from
1890 to 1891. Blackburn Rovers was eventually crowned the Champion
for Division One in the season 1911-12.
The most incredible silverware ever won has to be the 1994/95
Premiership Trophy where we edged out favourites Manchester
United by a nail-biting point on the last day. The last trophy
was the 2002 Worthington Cup
won by Graeme Souness. |
