Blackburn Rovers was formed by a group of public school boys in 1875,
Blackburn's early history was highlighted by their FA Cup wins. It wasn't
until 1912 that the First Division league title came to Blackburn for
the first time, and Blackburn Rovers followed up this success with anothe
rleague championship win two years later. Blackburn Rovers were playing
Third Division football in the 1970s before Jack Walker transformed
the club's fortunes. Jack Walker's backing and the decision to appoint
Kenny Dalglish as manager in 1991 resulted in Blackburn Rovers gaining
promotion to teh top-flight once again and becoming founder members
of the Premier League in 1992. Blackburn achieved its highest league
position for 80 years during the 1994 season by finishing runners-up
to Manchester United before going one better the following year to win
the Premiership in 1995 on final day of the season.
