BLACKPOOL, WINNERS, DEFY DOHERTY MAGIC - A quarter of an hour even before a 2-15 kick-off there was standing room only. PETER DOHERTY, who might have been wearing a tangerine jersey again for the first time for nearly 11 years, played instead for Huddersfield Town in this match. A week of conflicting reports, rumours and secret conferences which culminated in his £10,000 transfer last night put hundreds of pounds into Blackpool’s till.
CAN BLACKPOOL MAKE IT THEIR CUP YEAR? Wembley journey overdue. They always said they were going to do something about it. But time after time Wembley was a distant, receding mirage to Blackpool before the end of January.

Blackpool Win in Last Minute - A goal a minute from time for Blackpool against Blackburn Rovers at Bloomfield Rd.
Blackpool smash way to three points, rise in table - Everything was set for a complete stalemate when Farrow - who said this wing-half could not any longer last 90 minutes? - selected one of the few patches where a blade of grass was visible, crossed the ball from it and gave the tireless, battered Mortensen the chance to head the only goal a couple of minutes from time.
At Ewood Park on Christmas Day the teams played a 1-1 draw. Mortensen scored an early goal for Blackpool - his 13th of the season - and Langton equalised before half-time.
