Chris Sutton: How The League Was Won

Chris Sutton had the pick of every top team in England in 1994, but it was upwardly mobile Blackburn Rovers that took him from Norwich for a British record transfer fee of £5 million.What happened next would become one of the most epic tales in Premier League history. Paired with Alan Shearer in the famous SAS partnership, Chris helped Blackburn win the 1994/95 league title ahead of Manchester United.Here, Chris breaks down the twists and turns of that dramatic campaign; Shearer’s ruthlessness in front of goal; and Kenny Dalglish’s unshakeable confidence when the squad looked as though they might throw it all away.Chris also discusses the character in that Blackburn side - a team which included Tim Sherwood, Graeme Le Saux and Tim Flowers - which dragged them over the line eventually.Enjoy!
