On this day in 
THIS was Wembley 1948 all over again - a game as magnificent - but with a difference. Twice Blackpool took the lead, and, as at the Stadium in April lost it. With 22 minutes left - it was 20 at Wembley - the United went in front for the first time.
Then, when everybody was saying “It’s going to be 4-2” again, all resemblance ended. For this time it was Blackpool who came out fighting from their corner in the last round, to make it 3-3 with eight minutes left and to win in the last 30 seconds.
