MORTENSEN GOAL KNOCKS OUT BARNSLEY
Once Blackpool had repulsed the inevitable storming opening by a direct and aggressive Barnsley front line the tie was half won.

But again it required a snap opportunist goal by Stanley Mortensen to win it - a great goal by the England right wing which deserved to win the game.

A THIRD train had to be put on at the last minute at Blackpool Central Station today to carry surplus football supporters from two special trains going to Barnsley for the cuptie.

By 9-45 the two trains were-packed with more than 1,000 laughing, shouting football fans.
