Today marks 20 years since the memorable day when Rovers thrashed West Ham 7–1 at Ewood. This is the last time Rovers have scored seven goals in a competitive match.

Incredibly there were eight different players on the scoresheet. Also, before Matt Jansen's goal, Rovers had recorded 13 different goalscorers for their first 13 league goals at the start of the 2001/02 season.
