Happy 150TH Blackburn Rovers  🔵⚪️

 Cant think of anything id rather spend my time doing more than supporting the team in Blue n White.

Goes without saying my greatest memory will be the realisation of winning the Premier league. Seems like a repetitive story year on year but what a magical time to be alive.

The pinnacle of English football, reached by a small cotton town.

The pride was like a drug, summer holidays sporting my Rovers shirt felt like I was 10 foot tall, the buzz about the town, people shopping on a Saturday every corner a Rovers shirt and the full kit kids doing a big shop.

My first game in the 80s got me hooked, sitting on my Dad's shoulders as we walked down Livesey Branch Road old fellas smoking cigars in front of us before we took to our wooden seats in Nuttall Street, not too far a view from where I sit today in JW Upper.

Be proud today of what we have achieved and when the time is right, pass the baton down to others. 

The Blue and White flame won't go out, unless we let it.
