The 2012-13 campaign was a turbulent season of chaos for Blackburn Rovers as the club slumped to a disappointing 17th-place finish in the Championship under an unprecedented succession of five different managers. Leading the charge was the club-record signing Jordan Rhodes, whose phenomenal 27 league goals, including a celebrated hat-trick and a seven-game scoring run, proved a solitary, spectacular highlight. It was a disheartening year defined by off-field instability and high expectation, yet Rhodes's individual brilliance remains an unforgettable chapter for the Ewood Park faithful.
