Former Blackburn Rovers manager Kenny Dalglish highlights an example of the mind games employed by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, as the two teams battled it out for the Premier League title in 1995.

"Fergie was obviously trying to go into mind games, and I think a few games before the end of the season said that Blackburn 'need to do a Devon Loch,'" said Dalglish, referring to the 1956 Grand National when leader Devon Loch collapsed just yards from the finish.

"The press came back and said, 'Fergie said you've got to do a Devon Loch' to which I said, 'Whereabouts is that in Scotland?' and I just left it [...] he was trying to represent his club the best he possibly could, and you would do the same thing yourself." he added

Blackburn went on to win the Premier League title, with Ferguson's United in second place.
