Promotion at Blackburn: The 25th Anniversary Special

On Sunday 7 May 2000, Manchester City completed back-to-back promotions to return to the Premier League. Just under a year after winning the third tier playoff in a dramatic match at Wembley with Gillingham, the team came from behind to win an extraordinary game with Blackburn at Ewood Park to win promotion to the Premier League. For the first time in a long time, the club were no longer under-achieving. In this special episode, David Mooney speaks to all of the key figures from the 1999-2000 season to get the inside story of how the club was able to complete its recovery from its lowest ever position to return to the top flight of English football. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.
