The Legacy

Roy Hodgson took charge at Ewood Park in 1997, leading Blackburn Rovers to a sixth-place finish in the Premier League. The side secured a spot in the UEFA Cup, aided by the contributions of Chris Sutton and Kevin Gallacher in the forward line. Tim Flowers remained a consistent presence in goal, while Jason Wilcox provided width on the flank. This Asics home shirt carried the CIS sponsor throughout a campaign that saw the club return to European competition. It was a season of consolidation for a side moving on from their title-winning era, prioritizing defensive stability and tactical discipline.
