On this the opening league day in 
TWICE Blackpool took the lead at the “Lane” today, and twice, almost within seconds, lost it. As a penalty was missed, too, Blackpool obviously might have won something out of this match.
STANLEY MORTENSEN went on the field at Sheffield this afternoon with exactly 60 goals to his name in Cup and First Division since the end of the war. Add his 38 goals in the last season of regional football in 1945-46 and he required only another two for his first century with Blackpool’s first team.
