The Legacy

McEwan's Lager sponsored Blackburn Rovers for the 1996-1997 Premier League season. Asics produced the kit worn by a side adjusting to life after their recent title success. Ray Harford remained in charge as the club looked to build around Tim Flowers in goal and Colin Hendry in the heart of the defense. Despite the attacking presence of Chris Sutton and Kevin Gallacher, the side ultimately finished 13th in the league table. It was a quieter year for Ewood Park compared to the previous trophy-winning campaign, with the team unable to challenge for the top spots.

Key Moment

Blackburn finished 13th in the 1996-97 Premier League, their first full season after Alan Shearer's world-record transfer to Newcastle United.
