On this day in 
MATTHEWS HAS GREAT DAY AGAINST STOKE It was Stanley Matthews’ match as he always intended it to be against his old team. Twice he hit a post with scoring shots. Times without number he outwitted the men with whom once he played.
He was the man of a game chiefly remarkable for the amazing and unexpected aggression which entered Blackpool’s football after the interval
BLACKPOOL DOES NOT SEE THE BEST BLACKPOOL FOOTBALL One of the curiosities of the present season has been this team's continual failure in home games to play the football which elsewhere in the country has been the subject of sincere admiration.
Forwards who had been unable to score one goal against the Manchester defence at Blackpool, and had seldom ever promised to score one, scored four at Manchester a little over a week afterwards.
That’s the sort of crazy result which has littered Blackpool’s up and-down progress all the season.
