The Legacy

Blackburn Rovers finished fifth in the Second Division in 1988-1989. Simon Garner remained the primary goal threat for the side, while Colin Hendry and Scott Sellars held down key roles across the pitch. Managed by Don Mackay, the team fell to Crystal Palace in the play-off semi-finals. This season saw the club carry the Walker Steelite sponsor on their Ellgren gear as they attempted to bridge the gap to the First Division. It was a year of near-misses for the Ewood Park regulars.

Key Moment

Blackburn Rovers reached the 1988-1989 Second Division play-off final, narrowly missing promotion after a dramatic tie against Crystal Palace.
