'''Blackburn Rovers Football Club''' ({{pron-en|ˈblækbɜrn ˈroʊvərz}}) is an Inglis [[fitbaw]] club based in the toun o [[Blackburn]], [[Lancashire]].

The club wis established in 1875, becomin a foondin member o [[The Fitbaa League]] in 1888. It is ane o anerlie three clubs tae hae been baith a foonder member o the Fitbaa League an the Premier League (the ithers bein [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] an [[Everton F.C.|Everton]]). In 1890 the Rovers moved tae its permanent home at [[Ewood Park]]. Prior tae the formation o the [[Premier League]] in 1992, maist o the club's successes wur afore 1930, when it haed gained league an [[FA Cup]] trophies on several occasions. Relegation in 1966 wis followed bi 26 successive saisons o fitbaw ootside the tap flight.

In 1992, Blackburn wis promoted tae the new Premier League a year efter bein taken ower bi local [[Business magnate|steel baron]] [[Jack Walker]], who installed [[Kenny Dalglish]] as manager. In 1995, Blackburn became league champion, haein spent millions o pounds on players lik [[Alan Shearer]] an [[Chris Sutton]]. Houiver, the title-winnin team wis quickly split up an, in 1999, the club wis relegated. It wis promoted back tae the Premier League twa year later, juist efter Walker's daith, an haes been in the tap flight ever syne. During this time it haes qualified for the [[UEFA Cup]] fower times: ance as [[Fitbaa League Cup|League Cup]] winners, twice as the Premier League's saxt-placed team an ance via the [[Intertoto Cup]].
