Blackburn Lost Out On Robert Lewandowski Due To An Ash Cloud
Rovers had agreed an €8m fee with Lech Poznan for the striker in 2008 but an ash cloud from a volcano in Iceland stopped flights coming in and out of the UK.
It gave Borussia Dortmund time to swoop in and secure Lewandowski’s signature a couple of weeks later. The Polish legend has scored 486 goals in his senior career.
