Friedel's memorable performances for Blackburn include playing againstTottenham Hotspurin theLeague Cup Finalin early 2002, when he was namedMan of the Matchas he helped Rovers lift the cup. In a 2–1 win overArsenalatHighbury,Friedel made several immense saves and was only beaten by a deflectedfree kick.A stunning performance away atSouthamptonpromptedGordon Strachanto liken him toSuperman:"Friedel must have got changed in a telephone box. I wouldn't be surprised if when he takes his shirt off there's a blue jersey with an 'S' on underneath it."

At the end of the2002–03 season,Friedel's 15clean sheetsearned him Blackburn's Player of the Year award, as well as selection to the Premiership Starting XI. On February 21, 2004, in an away game againstCharlton Athletic,Friedel scored a goal from open play in the 90th minute, from a corner kick.

Friedel had asked Blackburn for permission to let him speak with Aston Villa if an offer was accepted, withManchester Cityreportedly interested in signing the American. The club accepted a transfer bid for Friedel, thought to be in the region of £2.5 million, subject to Blackburn themselves having a bid accepted for a replacement goalkeeper. Villa held talks with Friedel on July 25, and he signed a three-year contract with Villa the day after. He was unveiled athalf-timeduring Villa'sIntertoto Cupmatch againstOdense,and made his debut againstReadingon August 2 at theMadejski Stadium;just ten minutes in, the hosts were awarded a penalty, which Friedel then saved.
