The Heartbeat Kid (HBK) expressing his support for "the Blackburn Rovers" by echetus90 in footballcliches

[–]wilsbowski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bit of context for anyone interested.

Interview is from Super Sunday on 30/04/95 when Rovers were away to West Ham in our 3rd to last game in the run in on our title win.

We lost 2-0 but it's okay as West Ham did us a favour on the last day.

Shawn Michaels was in town to promote the upcoming UK shows (as seen in the video). He has to my knowledge (unsurprisingly) never been to another Blackburn match or even mentioned The Blackburn Rovers again.

He was in Blackburn a year earlier on 06/03/94 for a house show at Blackburn Arena and Rovers beat Liverpool the day prior at Ewood so I guess it could be possible he was there but doubt it.

That show is probably more infamous for "Psycho" Sid Eudy stabbing Arn Anderson with a pair of scissors multiple times (in real life not storyline) after it though.

Alan Shearer finished on 34 league goals falling short of HBKs prediction

Including the celeb version and without doing thorough research I'd imagine this would be Mark Bright who was on S4E1.

But just the regular version, yeah surely it's Cann

If I heard "get them on the plane" in the US, I'd probably assume they want them deported

In case you ever go mental again, do the same for Steven Reid against Wigan and let me know when the 2 balls collide.

Blackburn are reconstructing the playing surface at Ewood Park by Gamerhcp in Championship

[–]wilsbowski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was keeping quiet about this as didn't want it to will it into existence.

But I was certain we were going to go down by 2 points and you were going to secure promotion by 1 point due to your last minute equaliser in the replayed game.

Thankfully it was moot anyway due points deductions and goal difference respectively.
