No cries of "You don't know what you're doing" as Premier League Asst. Referee Mo Matadar took the Remember the Rovers group through his career in football. Proud to be a Blackburn Rovers fan prevented him from officiating at Ewood. Another excellent speaker AgeUKBwD Blackburn Rovers Community Trust

Guest speaker at Remember The Rovers today was EFL referee Leigh Doughty. Leigh recalled his journey from a young aspiring footballer who moved into teaching & finally achieved his ambition to become a full time referee. Excellent presentation followed by an engaging Q & A spot.

Although Everton through and through, I always wish success on Blackburn Rovers , my mum's childhood team (before she also got the EFC bug). This piece on Blackburn Rovers is from Charles Buchan's Football Monthly, circa 1964.

Part of Winston Churchill's speech VE Day May 8th 1945, London. " There we stood alone. Did anyone want to give in? Were we down-hearted? The lights went out and the bombs came down. But every man, woman and child in the country had no thoughts of quitting the struggle."

Sad news to learn of the passing of Tony Field he was a shining light at Ewood in the early 1970's during Ken Furphy's brief management period. RIP "Tony Field Superstar"!
