I had no idea about that. Another goal of ours also featured on tv. Duff's goal against Spurs at Ewood in 2001 was on an advert.

Your benefits are overpayment for your skills

Absolutely. From my experience, there are a number of football fans today who were either too young to remember Shearer play for Rovers or who weren't even born when Shearer was doing the damage in a Rovers shirt. The Shearer we had at Blackburn was world class. He was still very good at Newcastle too, but he had to change his game there a touch due to injuries.

Stunning. What a way to seal a hat-trick too. Love seeing goals go in off the bar.

The strength to hold off the defender. Fantastic. Yes, that goal was a screamer to seal his hat-trick. What a striker. I posted that Shearer goal on here last year. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rLV_atOkm5PJcmQ.htmlsi=P2eaDmBUWXIos2Bn

Indeed

Not sure what you mean pat. We're all here for Blackburn Rovers, aren't we? 😀

Yeah. Apart from the American ‘keeper, German defender, two Aussies, two Scots, a Turk, a Slovakian and a Trinidadian. Not to mention the bench that featured just one Englishman.

Yeah, fantastic display and result. Sadly, it was one of few highs that season.

I agree and they were quality players at that too. I can't imagine a team containing a majority of British players doing that today.

He didn't score a lot, but there are some absolute crackers there in his collection. The Coventry one is a fizzer and I love the Forest one too. Top left back he was for us.

@@rovers9585 Forest strike from 25m was my favorite...the other is against Man City ⚽

A late Rovers winner is never a bad thing, my friend 😀. Thanks for watching.

Got off to such a promising start, but then it fell apart quite quickly. Shame it didn't work out, it proved to be too big a leap for Ince.

True, it really was a damaging result for Newcastle. I wanted you to win the league ahead of United as Rovers were poor that season and way off the top. Sadly, we ended up helping Fergie and United that evening.

@@rovers9585 mate because of wor al I have a soft spot for u's but even in the 2000s u's had a proper side tugay pederson samba santa cruz bentley emerton but aye we crumbled in 96 away from home u's can't play expansively and get points look when u's won it grinding out results i.e. everton away us at home just found a way to win and had the best striker in the world at the time and two of the most underrated wingers in wilcox and ripley real quality they had. Rovers will be back where they belong mate too big to be stranded outside top flight

@@user-bc9cc4tu6b Aye, we had some handy sides in the 2000's post Jack Walker's passing. Some fans of other clubs like to mention Jack to try and belittle Rovers today i.e "you bought it, the 90s have gone" etc, but they forget how decent we were in the 2000's right up until Venky's bought us in 2010. We had some serious players as you mentioned...Duff, Tugay, Cole, Bellamy for one season, Benni, Roque, it was superb. The true football fans and viewers, like yourself, remember and haven't forgot the real Blackburn Rovers, so thank you mate, that means a lot. Sadly, there are some Rovers fans who have forgotten all of that and who unfathomably try to defend Venky's. There's no defending the indefensible! It's astounding the damage Venky's have done to our fanbase. The last 14 years have been horrible as a Rovers fan mate. We are in this state today because of Venky's, no other reason. They are a disgrace and have near wrecked the club. We are a Premier League club and I believe we will be back when we have new owners. Hopefully we play you guys again soon, I have always enjoyed our games due to the Shearer connection plus the atmosphere when you guys pack out the entire Darwen End.

Such a highly anticipated game it was and what a feeling at full time. I agree, Kevin Ball was disgusting in this game. That tackle on Dunny appalling. A red card did not feel enough as an outcome.

We had an excellent record up there. I think we won there for five consecutive seasons. We even beat them there whilst in a poor state in 2016. Mulgrew winner.

What a day! Superb atmosphere, challenges flying in, proper Derby game.

Cracking player to have in the squad. Will always remember his role at Deepdale for Jansen's goal and for helping us to reach the cup final with some important goals along the way.

Was a quality addition to our squad. He played his part at Deepdale in 2001 and also during our run to the League Cup final a year later.

Yep. Fergie time in action too here. The ref went well over the four added, almost like we had to play on until they scored.

That was trademark MGP. Belting free kick.

That air of optimism, Jon. It's hugely missed! This day remains one of my favourite afternoons spent at Ewood. I remember it being a belting sunny day, a packed Ewood, blue and white shirts everywhere. It was picturesque. Fantastic way to end the season with Duff and Cole showing their class.

🎵Come to see the Rovers, you've only come to see the Rovers, come to see the Rovers🎵 😁. Welcome.

@@BlackwellTV Thanks for the link. One of the best Overlap podcasts they have done.

It was. Excellent first touch from Wrighty too.

someone watched Stick to Football yesterday

@@sacred1827 yup!

@@johnathankonandreas6074 Ian Wright undersold his touch. Was a good ball but that touch was absolutely first class

True. Cantona ended up scoring in the second half.

I think there will be many who echo that. He only made seven appearances for Rovers.

He would still be better than Rovers' current wide options, even at 42 years of age. I hear Morten keeps in touch with the Rovers hierarchy. He could maybe come back in a non playing role in the future.

Electric. He frightened opposition defences with his pace and intensity. I just wish he had stayed longer.

I had forgotten all about this advert! I remember the talk back then amongst friends about a Rovers goal appearing in a commercial. Advert aside...Duffer and Rovers though. What a special combination and what great memories.

I agree. He was a good player, looked decent at Rovers to begin with, but was then hampered by injury.
