Yakubu still pained by Blackburn demotion

Yakubu Aiyegbeni has revealed that the relegation of Blackburn Rovers from the EPL in the 2011/2012 season has remained one of his biggest disappointments.

“I was there for one year,” said Yakubu. “We had good and experienced players, so it was a
real shame we went down.
“I remember as players we were always playing under pressure. The fans were against the owners and the manager. It was quite crazy there.
“But it’s more stable now than before and hopefully they can get back to the Premier League. I hope so.”
The Reading striker added: “It is a good club with nice people. Most of the players have left now but a couple are still there.
“Getting relegated was really tough, it was not nice. But I still had a great time there. The players and fans were all fantastic to me.”
