Ludek Miklosko, the former West Ham goalkeeper, recounts his pivotal role in denying Manchester United a third consecutive Premier League title during the 1994/95 season. Despite Liverpool's victory over Blackburn Rovers, Miklosko's impressive performance against United sealed the deal for Blackburn's championship win.
Ludek Miklosko has admitted that he'll never tire talking about the 1994/95 Premier League campaign, in which he denied Manchester United a third consecutive title.
That's because Blackburn Rovers ultimately won the Premier League during that season, pipping Manchester United to the post by a single point. Everything was to play for on the final day of the season, with Rovers facing Liverpool while United travelled to Upton Park to face West Ham.READ MORE: I am ready to replace Luke Shaw for England - I would have been the perfect signing for Man United
Michael Hughes put West Ham 1-0 up with 31 minutes played, before Brian McClair offered the Reds a glimmer of hope six minutes into the second half. Unfortunately, a Miklosko masterclass - in which he denied Lee Sharpe, Mark Hughes and Andy Cole - saw the fixture finish 1-1, leaving United a point shy of achieving Premier League greatness once again.
"In fact, I was at United's training ground recently with some young goalkeepers - I am now a player representative - and there were staff members there who remembered that game. Some of them came up to me and talked about the game and a few of them said, 'I was there and remember that game and I hated you'.
