Rivals - Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United, battled it out for the title in 94/95. In what is the only Premier League title to their name, the former were victors by 1 point.

Goal-difference was in Manchester United's favour, and, heading into the last day of the season, the odds were as well at one point. With Blackburn losing 2-1, and Manchester United at a 1-1 stalemate against West Ham, all they needed was a single goal to win them the league. It wasn't to be, and The Red Devils finished one point adrift of their rivals, who, despite losing on the day, celebrated their first Premier League victory.

In a team consisting of top English talents such as Alan Shearer and Tim Sherwood, scoring goals was no problem, and, Scottish manager Kenny Dalglish, became only the 3rd manager to lead two different clubs to glory in the top tier of English football.
