BLACKBURN Rovers were doing somewhat better than today when this bunch of fans gathered in front of Queen Victoria's statue on the town's Boulevard.
For reader Trevor Wilson, of Lammack, Blackburn, who sends their picture to Looking Back, believes it was taken in 1912, the year when the Rovers clinched the championship of the old First Division for the first time.
That season, the Ewood Park side, netted 60 goals and let in 43 in their 38 games. But at the end of the following one, despite scoring 79 and shipping exactly the same number as they did in their championship season, the club could only finish fifth. But in the 1913-14 season, with the same goal difference of 36, they ended up top of the table again.
Seen holding a trumpet-type noise maker at the front of the group is Mr Wilson's father, Fred Wilson and behind the youngster wearing a Rovers' shirt and holding a blue and white umbrella is Fred's brother, Bill.
