news to me that we had the original premier-league trophy at Ewood after Jack bought it. Is this news or am I just badly informed?

Maybe that's what everyone refers to when they say we bought the title in '95?

That's news to me too. Good old Jack.

They had a replica made at a cost of £30,000. Not the original though.

[Hughesy]

Yep Uncle Jack bought one from them - its in the jack walker stand at the top of the stairs.

[braddock]

that is amazing

[T4E]

Wow. Did not know that.

What a man.

[brfcshabba]

Why would Jack have bought it off Barclays?

As they weren't the league sponsers at the time

[brian_gallagher85]

Poor journalism I suspect. I believe the trophy is now worth more than twice what Jack paid for it too

[sloth_frattelli]

They didn't mention it on the Official Tour I had in December. The woman taking the tour actually told our group that Jack Walker 'accidently' dented the trophy before handing it back to United. Begrudgingly.

That's what Elaine told us when we went on one a few months back too, she also mentioned that Jack had a replica of the Worthy cup made too, both of which have doubled in value since.

He must have known there wouldn't be another on view for quite some time. Sorry couldn't resist.

That can't be right.

Jack sadly passed before we won it.

Quite the feat for someone 2 years dead.

i'm becoming increasingly suspicious of this elaine character, if that is her real name

[brian_gallagher85]

Well the club then....

From the article:

"I'm so happy," beamed 19-year-old Daniel Okei. "I thought that trophy only existed on TV. But now I've been closer to it than Steven Gerrard ever has!"

Die hard Burnley fan by the way... despite being from Blackburn and running ground tours at Ewood, crazy...

That is quality.
