Blackpool FC On This Day by Peter Gillatt
Blackpool FC On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Seasiders diary - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's formation in 1887 through to the Premier League era, the Bloomfield Road faithful have witnessed top 6 finishes, promotions and relegations, breathtaking Cup runs and triumphs - all featured here. Timeless greats such as Stanley Matthews and Alan Suddick, Charlie Adam, Stan Mortenson and Mickey Walsh all loom larger than life. Revisit 2nd May 1953: the day of the 'Matthews Final', and Blackpool's finest hour. 5th August 1966, when a World Cup civic reception was held for England stars Alan Ball and Jimmy Armfield. Or 5th August 1989, which saw inflatable Towers on the terraces for the very first time!
Peter Gillatt is a proud Seasider, and saw his first game with his dad on the Spion Kop at Bloomfield Road in August 1970 - a First Division clash with Liverpool. Peter is the editor of a Blackpool FC website.
