Dalglish: Blackburn were the 'people's champions'
Former Blackburn Rovers manager Kenny Dalglish describes why he felt the club were the 'people's champions' when they won the Premier League title in the 1994/95 season, ahead of nearest challengers Manchester United.
"They were the people's champions. They were a down-to-earth club, it's not even a city is it, Blackburn," he said.
"We weren't stock-listed, we were privately owned by Jack (Walker) who was a local guy who put his money in who said, 'I want to see my football club go forward.'
"Manchester United were listed on the stock-exchange and a global club. We were just a small town that happened to have a good football team."
