On this day in 
EVERTON WERE GOAL-HAPPY IN THE BLIZZARD It was a football match in name only, but Everton served to win because with aid of the wind and snow in first half their forwards played fast, open, aggressive football which tore Blackpool defence apart.
Blackpool defence had impossible assignment before half-time, but both Everton wings were left exposed repeatedly with goalkeeper left to Everton forwards’ mercy.
Blackpool never mastered the day; Everton did. Attendance 25,548.
