Synopsis

When local lad made good Jack Walker took over the club and opened his wallet, stars such as Gary Lineker thought it was a joke and the media laughed along with them. Yet that all changed with the arrival of the most famous football manager in the land. When Kenny Dalglish sat in the directors box of a shocked Ewood Park in October 1991, Rovers were in the bottom half of the second division. A little more than three and a half years later, they were champions after one of the most dramatic seasons in modern football history. With interviews with those who were there, this book tells the story of that 1994-95 season that ended in confusion and then ecstasy at Anfield, as well as events leading up to it the dark days of the eighties, promotion and the early years of the Premier League.
