Coidy injured himself at Squires Gate when he fell over a roller once (or might've been twice), he never liked training...
Damn good footballer though, when fit!

Danny Coid suffered from being two footed. That meant that McMahon used him in lots of different positions, which is why he got injured so much.

True and he never sealed his own position in the side.
If he had've done I reckon he'd have played at a higher level than us.

Comfortable with the ball with either foot, naturally two-foot footballers are few and far-between.
My memory may fail me, but the only two in a Tangerine shirt in my time have been Coidy and Alan Suddick!
As Englishmen go, Glenn Hoddle was superb with both feet and probably watched "The King of Bloomfield Road" from afar when he was a nipper!

The 'ed' at the end of my 2nd 'foot' disappeared, how do I edit a post?!Comfortable with the ball with either foot, naturally two-foot footballers are few and far-between.

Of many great goals I've seen over the years at Bloomfield Road, Coidy scored one of the best against Wigan about 20 years back.
Me and my lad (who's 30-odd now) were stood in the Scratching Shed and Danny took off on a mazy run beating about 4 or 5 Wigan players and rifled the ball into the top corner of the net at the old Kop End from about 30 yards out!
Majestic memories, anybody else remember that goal?

Didn’t Coid get injured once playing golf, or was that someone else?

Remember it well, one of the goals that got me hooked on Blackpool as a 15 year old.

There have been many two footed players down the years with Blackpool - sadly both their feet were rubbish

Great day for me, 29th September 2001. Watched this beaut, and met my missus shortly after. 20 year anniversary coming up. I might treat her to a soggy Tuesday night in Hull to celebrate!

My overriding memory of Coid is him regularly getting bollocked by Paul Simpson, who was a classy operator. I definitely wouldn’t say he was “class” unless that means a decent league one/two footballer.
