From a meeting in Blackburn in 1875 to the summit of the Premier League in 1995, Founders, Rovers, Champions tells the full story of one of English football's most historic clubs and the ground that became its heart.

This fact-based narrative follows the rise of Blackburn Rovers through the industrial landscape of nineteenth-century Lancashire, the early FA Cup battles that changed English football, the coming of professionalism, and the club's role as a founding member of the Football League. It traces the move to Ewood Park, the Edwardian league championships, the 1928 FA Cup triumph, post-war hope and decline, the long lower-league years, and the extraordinary Jack Walker era that brought Kenny Dalglish, Alan Shearer, Chris Sutton, and the 1995 Premier League title.
