Fishing for dingles again saxo?
The answer is pretty simple it's in the history books 94/95 premier league champions Blackburn rovers
There is nothing more you need to know.

to me, i`ve always enjoyed our league cup win more. nobody could deny us it by claiming we bought it(with youth products like duff and dunn in our team), or any other team threw it away..

just sayin`..

We paid a fortune for Jansen. 4.5m . I loved him, and it was money well spent, but still. The other scorer in that league cup win, was Andy Cole. Multiple title winner, whom we spent 7m on. Yes we had a few home grown players in our side, but we where still spending lots of money back then. That win was no different to the title. Only the title was earnt playing 34 games (back then) not 5 by winning a cup. We had just finished runners up the season before, in which United nearly did blow it, as we clawed back a 16 point gap, catching them up the day Shearer scored 2 at a half renovated Ewood. The season we won it, we lead almost all of it.


Absolute *******s.

We had only come back up after promotion the season before. And we where rebuilding. I don't believe they where paying miles more in wages, maybe something similar. They had Sherwood in midfield I know that and he was out played by Mark Hughes who was superb that day in centre mid. Yes it was a shock in some respects. But you don't fluke 34 games. Whereas you can have an off day in a cup final.

Spurs line up that day..

GK Neil Sullivan
RB Mauricio Taricco
CB Chris Perry
CB Ledley King
LB Ben Thatcher
RM Darren Anderton
CM Tim Sherwood
CM Gustavo Poyet
LM Christian Ziege
CF Teddy Sheringham
CF Les Ferdinand
Substitutes:
GK Kasey Keller
DF Anthony Gardner
MF Simon Davies
FW Serhiy Rebrov
FW Steffen Iversen

id say that line up(inc subs) cost a lot more in fees and wages than..

GK Brad Friedel - free
RB Martin Taylor - youth product
CB Nils-Eric Johansson - 400,000
CB Henning Berg (c) - free
LB Stig Inge Bjrnebye - free
RM Keith Gillespie - 2.5m
CM David Dunn - youth product
CM Mark Hughes - free
LM Damien Duff - youth product
CF Matt Jansen - 4m
CF Andy Cole - 7m
Substitutes:
GK Alan Miller - ?
DF John Curtis - ?
MF Craig Hignett - 2.5?
MF Alan Mahon - free
FW Yordi - on loan

when you weigh in the fact spurs beat a star- studded chelsea 4-1 in the semis, and tugay/short/flitcroft(among others?) were out for us, then hence my satisfaction in winning the cup more than the leag

The Cup win was unexpected and brilliant, but the League win means far more than beating Spurs that day.

Saxo on a wind up again.

I much preferred our Full Members Cup win over any trophy we have won throughout our entire history .
BTW , I am serious . At the time us getting to Wembley was unreal and those of us there that day , thought it was a once in a lifetime chance to see Rovers playing there .

The Full members was a amazing ..as you say to be at Wembley (in whatever competition( was something none of us neverever envisaged at the time . Fantastic day ..
The League cup win was againn a little unexpected ..to play at the Millenium ..roof shut too and actually win ..was such a great fcking moment ..the spurs fans in our hotel all thought they d won it the day before ..and on paper we were the underdogs ..

But ..nothing can top the Premiership (yet )...a lot of clubs will have chances to win an odd cup whatever the competition ..but to win the Premiership ? ..that theres only 5 clubs to win it in over 20 odd years ..says it all ..and lil ole Blackburn
