On this day in 
SHEFFIELD SHOW BLACKPOOL HOW TO SHOOT THIS WAS BLACKPOOL’S BLACKEST DAY FOR MONTHS, WITH SCARCELY ANYTHING TO REDEEM IT. BETWEEN 60 AND 70 MINUTES’ PRESSURE COULD NOT PRODUCE A GOAL.
Sheffield United, often outplayed, had fewer than half a dozen chances all the afternoon, and yet with them their forwards shot three opportunist goals.
FOR about the first time this season there was no winter sun shining for a home game at Blackpool. Instead, a mist, which had never lifted all day, was hovering over the ground when the teams appeared in front of fewer than 20,000, the smallest attendance at a Blackpool match this year.
