Both of these players were instrumental in leading Liverpool to several noteworthy victories.

Blackburn Rover F.C. Facts & Info
Blackburn Rovers F.C. Crest
While the Rovers have never achieved a level of success comparable to Chelsea, Manchester United, or Arsenal, they are one of the few clubs to have been founding members of the Football League and Premier League.
Started in 1875, Blackburn experienced a great deal of success during the 1880s, winning three FA Cups. The Rovers then became one of the 12 founding members of the Football League in 1888, finishing in fourth place in the inaugural season. In 1890, Blackburn purchased Ewood Park during the midst of two more FA Cup wins that included the first hat trick in an FA Cup final, a feat achieved by William Townley.
However, the coming years would prove to be much more unkind to the Riversiders. Though they won league titles in 1912 and 1914, their FA Cup win in 1928 would be the last in a long, long time. Mediocrity finally led to relegation in 1935-1936. They managed to return to the First Division after the war, but suffered relegation once again in 1947-1948, remaining in the Second Division for ten years. Promoted in 1958, the Rovers mostly struggled through the following seasons until being relegated again in 1966, the beginning of a period that would see the formerly-proud club spend time in the Second and Third Divisions for 26 years.
It wasn’t until owner Jack Walker took over the club that the Rovers would find success again. Flush with money, the Rovers made several key moves that allowed them to win the Second Division in 1991-1992 and finally return to the First Division. Walker continued spending money in the summer of 1992, shelling out a then-record 3.2 million pounds for young centre forward Alan Shearer, along with numerous other expensive acquisitions. In 1993-1994, those moves and others paid off for Walker, as the Blue and Whites finished runners-up in the Premiership to Manchester United. During the following off-season, Walker once again emptied his pockets to acquire Chris Sutton. The following season, Walker’s efforts paid off, as the Rovers won the Premiership for the first time since 1914.
Blackburn Rovers Manager
Sam Allardyce took over as manager of the Blue and Whites in 2008 after managing Newcastle United from 2007-2008 and the Bolton Wanderers from 1999-2007. Known as “Big Sam,” Allardyce played professionally for the Bolton side that won promotion to the First Division in 1977-1978, as well as in the United States, bringing many American football tactics to the sport known as football to the rest of the world.
Blackburn Rovers Stadium
No club in the Premier League has been in their current home longer than the Blue and Whites have taken the pitch at Ewood Park in Blackburn, Lancashire. Open since 1882 next to the Darwen River, the stadium is comprised of four stands and seats over 31,000. Owner Jack Walker completed massive renovations at the site in 1994 that saw the construction of new, two-tiered stands at Darwen End and Blackburn End, along with the Jack Walker Stand, replacing the Nuttall Street Stand. Only the Riverside Stand remains unchanged.
Manager Kenny Dalglish moved into a new position of Director of Football after his success as manager of the club, but the Rovers struggled to stay at the top. The club sold Alan Shearer to Newcastle United after the 1994-1995 and relegation followed after the 1998-1999 season. In 2000, Jack Walker died, but the Rovers gained their promotion and won their first League Cup in 2001-2002.
