Blackburn with Darwen’s council named their two new gritters 'Alan Clearer' and 'Grit Sutton' to honor the soccer stars Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton, who played a crucial role in taking Blackburn Rovers to the Premier League title in 1994/95.
Blackburn with Darwen’s two new gritters have been given champion names to celebrate Rovers’ Premier League winning double strike force. The borough council launched a competition to give them the large orange winter road maintaining vehicles won distinctive identities last month and saw hundreds of entries pour in.
Alan Shearer, whose partnership in front of goal with Chris Sutton was key to the triumph, said: “After opening Alan Shearer Way in Blackburn back in 2015, it’s an absolute honour to now have a gritter named after me. Well done Ian for coming up with such a fantastic name! Cllr Taylor said: “I really enjoyed reading a fantastic range of suggestions for the names of our new gritters, which came from residents of all ages. A huge thank you to everyone for getting involved.
