Alan Suddick King of Bloomfield Road

Just watched “King of Bloomfield Road Alan Suddick 1944 - 2009” on utube. What fabulous memories. What fabulous football we played. UTMP!

My era and favourite. He had such a swagger about him and loved the way he generally portrayed that stuff like tackling was beneath a player of his skill.

Amazing memories from when I first started watching the Pool!
They’ll not be too many players with Suddicks ability painting and decorating at the end of their career!

 

[Bend it like Suddick]

Heard he was good at painting around walls

Great times to watch the pool with players to match. The king, Tony Green, Tommy Hutch, and Alan Skirton never a dull moment.
Home or away we were guaranteed goals with Alan Suddick pulling the strings.
Stan Mortenson set it all up with the style he wanted us to play. UTP

On that Suddick video there's highlights of a late 60's match away at Sheff Utd. 3-0 win & great attacking football ️

What a player and what a nice fella too. He loved his football, his golf and liked a beer. The club were offered a blank cheque from Samporia to sign him. If only we had another at the club.like him.

Some people on this board refer to King Kenny and King Billy. Obviously never seen the real King play.

If only they knew or understood how good he was. Sheer class.

A great watch & aside from appreciating the obvious, I must confess to slightly forgetting quite how much Mickey Burns brought to that team.

The best Blackpool player I have ever seen !

Banana Kicks before D Beckham was even thought of !
