Blackburn Rovers were one of the founding twelve members of the original Football League that formed in 1875. Before the advent of the Premiership, most of the club's success was in the 1930s and before. During that early time, they had two League Championships and six FA Cups. But since then, local millionaire Jack Walker realized his dream of getting a championship to Blackburn. With the help of superstar [[striker]] [[Alan Shearer]], they won in the 1994-95 season. However, when Walker passed on, the team sunk until the leadership of [[Mark Hughes]] brought them back to prominence.

The team has recently suffered from poor form, and a string of management changes has meant that the team are now playing their second season in the Championship, the second tier of the English football pyramid.
