50 years ago today (it's gone fast )Blackpool played Chelsea in old first division.
Anyone else on here went to the game?
3 nil up at half time against Chelsea who were the FA Cup holders and had some great players like Peter Osgood Alan Hudson Chopper Harris John Hollins.
Ended up losing 4-3. My memories are Fred Pickering ripping them to shreds in first half with a couple of goals then I'm sure he was substituted incredibly in second half and it all went to pot. I remember Dave Hatton slicing the ball in his own net in injury time making it 4-3 to the cockneys.
Chelsea were a bit of a bogey side whenever they came up in the 70s and don't think we ever got a result against them. Nasty bunch of fans aswell on the whole with plenty of incidents on the old kop.
