The Premier League was three years old when Blackburn Rovers snapped an 81-year title drought by seeing off Manchester United and being crowned champions of England.
Owner Jack Walker had bankrolled Rovers’ run to the 1994/95 title, which came three seasons after they had been promoted back to the top flight, with the club unable to maintain their domestic supremacy, as Manchester United and Arsenal went on to take a stranglehold on the division, winning the next nine titles between them.
