OLD PICTURES OF BLACKPOOL FC

I wouldn’t mind, PC, but he and RG were fantastic together in that game and we tore them to pieces. TD scored at least once, and the picture I meant to attach was of the keeper making a save at his feet that led to the corner. I wonder what led to him going on strike…

As an aside, can anybody name the Blackpool player stood on the left watching Colin Methven score at NTFC? See POST 1424, above.

Is it Alan Wright, or Simon Rooney ? PS. Have you got anymore pics of the Middlesboro game, a lively day in Q Block that one.

Rooney - correct, well-played. Sadly, no other images from the Boro game that I could see but I shall keep looking. The game at their place when we won 3-1 was also lively as I recall....

Interesting pic in three ways.

Firstly, notice the TV gantry on top of the West Stand.

Secondly, no badge on the shirt. Yet there was in the 50's and 60s.

Thirdly, Budgie being Budgie.

That was the gantry that Bob Stokoe used to sit in during the second half of our matches when he was Manager.
 
Some of these pictures are brilliant. Seeing so much for the very first time, in better detail etc. thanks everyone :)

Enjoying it so much I'd like to suggest a wider Blackpool & Fylde version of this i.e. the town and up and down the coast? So many landmarks, buildings etc. gone but preserved as images.

This is a bit of a conundrum.

It states 1973/74 and as Mickey Burns left in the summer of '74 and this is the 73/74 kit it could be right...but (I am sad):
Steve Harrison only played against the following that season:

Swindon (H) - Ainscow was out injured
Oxford (A) - Walsh played (not in 12 man photo)
Orient (H) - Walsh played
WBA (A) - McEwan was unused sub (not in 12 man photo)
Oxford (H) - Walsh was unused sub
M'boro (A) - McEwan was unused sub
Cardiff (H) - Hart played (not in 12 man photo)
Preston (H) - Evanson played (not in 12 man photo)
Pompey (A)- Evanson played
Hull (A)- Evanson played
Swindon (A)- Evanson played
Villa (A) - Evanson was unused sub
Villa (H)- Evanson played
Carlisle (H)- Evanson played
Sunderland (A)- Evanson played
Southampton (FAC) (A) - Rafferty was unused sub (not in 12 man photo)

So what game was this?
Does anyone recognise the ground?

It's Bloomfield Rd. It was council green until the late 70s at least.

Cannot see any spectators in the stand.
 
I hadn’t considered that Trammo. Maybe it was just a team photo then.
Strange that other players in the squad at the time weren’t present, if that was the case though.
