Rovers returned to the
top flight of English football, thanks to a second-place finish in
Division One which came two seasons after relegation. Rovers looked intent on returning to the top flight in style fulfilling the wishes of late owner
Jack Walker who died shortly after the season began. Striker
Matt Jansen, signed during the relegation campaign, was the club's top scorer with 23 Division One goals. Rovers also re-signed
Henning Berg just after the start of the season, three years after they sold him to
Manchester United. Berg was one of the club's last remaining links with the 1995 title winning side. ==Final league table==
