The 1993-94 campaign was a brilliant title challenge for Blackburn Rovers as the Ewood Park revolution, bankrolled by owner Jack Walker and led by manager Kenny Dalglish, secured a spectacular second-place finish in the Premier League, earning a coveted UEFA Cup spot. The season was defined by the stunning return to fitness of talismanic striker Alan Shearer, whose phenomenal 31 league goals earned him the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award. Rovers pushed Manchester United all the way in a fierce title race, at one stage drawing level on points in April, in a thrilling campaign built on a formidable attack and the quality of players like Graeme Le Saux and Tim Sherwood.
