THERE will be never be another Jack Walker. 

There were will never be another story as remarkable as the one written by his beloved Blackburn Rovers 20 years ago today when they were crowned Premiership champions.

Financial Fair Play has seen to that.

Exactly two decades on from the greatest fairytale in modern day football history, the drawbridge has been well and truly pulled up.

Rovers are one of five clubs to have won the Premier League, as it is now known, since its inception in 1992. Apart from possibly Liverpool, will there ever be a sixth?

It is certainky impossible to imagine another small-town club gatecrashing the elite again.

But rules are rules and Rovers are currently paying the price for the disastrous way they were run after relegation three years ago.

The club, when hit with an embargo in December, said it ‘will respect the rules of the Football League’.

But those rules will not be worth the paper they are written on unless QPR are also punished for exceeding the losses permitted for the 2013-14 campaign.

If the Hoops pay a penny less than the multi-million pound fine that was supposed to be coming their way then Rovers have every right to ask why they should continue to play ball.

But as things stand Rovers seem certain to spend the rest of the calendar year, at least, under an embargo.

The announcement of a lucrative shirt sponsorship deal will go some way to getting it lifted.

The club’s Premier Night event on Monday will not. In fact it probably cost Rovers money to put on.

But it was worth much more in terms of goodwill as supporters in the packed-out Premier Suite at Ewood Park celebrated the day Walker’s dream became a reality.

We will not see the likes of it again.
