But first, let’s start with a bit of history, because Blackburn’s dates back far longer than the Premier League’s. When the Football League was originally formed in 1888, it was dominated by northern clubs, with Blackburn one of six of the 12 founder members to hail from what was then the county of Lancashire – Accrington, Bolton Wanderers, Burnley, Everton and inaugural champions Preston North End were the other five. Known throughout the world for its textile mills and weavers, Blackburn’s football team was a source of pride for a town whose population had boomed to 130, 000. Rovers had already won the FA Cup three times before the Football League’s formation, and two more were added in 1890 and 1891.
