Book Synopsis
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!
