Produktbeschreibung

In the mid-1990s, English football was transforming. The Premier League was finding its feet, the television money was starting to flow, and the dominance of the established giants-Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool-seemed all but unshakable. Yet, from the industrial heart of Lancashire, one small-town club dared to dream. Jack's Jackpot tells the complete, fact-based story of Blackburn Rovers' remarkable 1994-95 title-winning season. Bankrolled by local steel magnate Jack Walker, guided with calm authority by Kenny Dalglish, and spearheaded by the most feared strike partnership of the era-Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton-Rovers climbed to the summit of English football. This is not just a chronicle of goals and matches; it is the tale of a community's pride, of smart investment, bold ambition, and a campaign where every point mattered. Drawing on match records, player statistics, and contemporary accounts, this book captures the pace, tension, and ultimate triumph of Blackburn's journey. It also explores the legacy of that season-the model it offered for clubs with dreams of breaking through, and the cautionary lessons of sustaining success. For supporters and historians alike, Jack's Jackpot stands as the definitive account of a season when the improbable became reality.
