Yes it's true that BRFC enjoyed great days under the ownership of Mr Walker Jaysay, but those days soon vanished when he died in August 2000. His family had no affiliation or connection with Blackburn Rovers, they couldn't wait to offload the club and business that Jack had built up! Which goes to show that if your sugar daddy dies then so does your income to fund "The happy days"!
Would i be there to watch Stanley in the Premiership? Probably yes, but i'd leave the bells at home!
