Tim Sherwood, as captain, led Blackburn Rovers to their historic Premier League title victory in 1995, ending an 81-year wait for the club. Funded by owner Jack Walker, Rovers overcame Manchester Unitedâs relentless pursuit in a thrilling final day of the season. With Alan Shearer scoring a record-equalling 34 goals, Blackburn secured the title by finishing just one point ahead of United. Sherwood recalls the pressure and excitement of that last game against Liverpool, where a win would confirm their triumph, while United struggled to maintain their title reign.
Winning the Premier League on the last day of the season was special, Sherwood tells FourFourTwo. It was in our hands, we'd had a big lead that season, but there was a Manchester United juggernaut chasing us.
Rovers headed to Anfield on the final day of the season knowing that a win against Liverpool would seal the title, while Manchester United knew they had to beat West Ham to have any chance.
