EPL Elite One-timers

As Liverpool edge closer to a second Premier League title, we revisit the EPL Elite One-Timers – clubs whose sole triumphs wrote unforgettable stories:

1994/95 Blackburn Rovers

In an era dominated by Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers – fueled by Jack Walker’s ambition and Alan Shearer’s ruthless finishing – defied the odds to claim their first Premier League title. The "SAS" duo of Shearer and Chris Sutton terrorized defenses, but the climax came on the final day: a nervous 1-1 draw against Liverpool, paired with United’s failure to beat West Ham, sealed their historic triumph. A blue-collar town’s team, led by Kenny Dalglish, proved that passion and precision could topple giants. Blackburn’s title remains a testament to fleeting magic, a reminder that underdogs can etch their names into eternity.

2015/16 Leicester City

A 5,000-1 miracle. Claudio Ranieri’s “dilly-ding, dilly-dong” mantra. Jamie Vardy’s record-breaking scoring streak. Riyad Mahrez’s wizardry. N’Golo Kanté’s relentless engine. Leicester City didn’t just win the Premier League – they rewrote the rules of possibility. In a sport dominated by financial titans, a squad assembled for pennies became immortal. Tottenham’s late collapse at Chelsea handed them the crown. No fans in the stadiums could dim the fairytale. Leicester’s triumph wasn’t just a title – it was a hymn to hope, a beacon for every dreamer.

2019/20 Liverpool

A 30-year wait ended in silence. Jurgen Klopp’s Reds stormed the league with 99 points, losing just once, but the pandemic emptied stadiums as they clinched the title. Their 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace in June 2020 showcased their ruthless brilliance, yet the absence of the Kop’s roar lent the triumph a haunting poignancy. From Alisson’s saves to Salah’s goals, this was a machine honed to perfection – but one denied its rightful crescendo. Liverpool’s victory was a paradox: a historic achievement shadowed by global turmoil, a reminder that glory, even when delayed, cannot be dimmed.
