O/T Your favourite all time Blackpool comeback?

A home game years ago, Colin Methven was playing, if that helps place it. might have been Chester we played. might not.

We were 2-0 down, then 2-1, 3-1 down. Got back to 3-2, my mate said next scorer wins this. We scored twice in the last 10, Skull headed a cross from right in front of me in the Paddock, back across goal for someone to tap in.

The Tranmere Sherpa Paint thing too, but I wasn't at that one.

Did he slap his head!! Where is skully now?
 
3 0 down at Wrexham and the trumpeter started playing the Great Escape. Never heard it at a football match before.

By the end of the game we were conga'ing in the stand to it.

Tranmere in the league cup around 1991. Lost the 1st leg 3-0, won the 2nd leg 4-0 and at the same time giving John Aldridge absolute hell after he put 3 fingers up when they were 3 up. 'Aldo what's the score' at 4-3😂

Around 2k there that night. Unlike Barnet away, I was there

Did Eyresyscore straight from a corner, or am I getting mixed up

One of the first games I went attended with my mates as a young lad, made me a fan for life.
 
The 3-2 win at Reading this season probably comes very close. We were 2-0 down despite being the best team by a country mile. But we didn't drop our heads, kept getting at them and deservedly won quite comfortably in the end against a club where we've historically struggled. We even got praise from the blogger who travels the country iirc.
Edit, beat me to it Michelle
 
I'll go a little more off piste.....
I remember us playing Rotherham at home in a sherpa vans match in late 80s and I think we were 3-1 down
Was in South paddock and their keep was giving it large

It was so sweet just listening to the sound of the ball hitting the back of the net late on to make it 4-3

Only about 1000 there but it was really enjoyable

I think your right. That night still niggles me whenever I see Elton Welsby mentioned anywhere. 1st Leg got 30 mins of coverage on Granada Soccer Night that night and he was creaming himself over their 3-0 win. The only reason they scored three is because our keeper either went off injured or got sent off, I cant remember. I think Eyres went in nets ? Anyway the 2nd Leg got about 30 seconds of highlights the following week when we turned it round. I went to both games.

Was also at Wrexham away, so my vote goes to that one, serious mental was had when the fourth went in. You could sense it happening when we got it back to 2-3.

Can also remember a 4-3 home win against Walsall in about 1990, but i'm not sure if we came from behind or not, but we did win late on.
Didn't go to the Plymouth game mentioned, I think we won it 5-2. I can remember watching the goal flashes coming in on an early Sky Sports Soccer Saturday in Never On A Sundays.

Agree about Elton Welsby on Granada Soccer Night. He ** loved Tranmere. I was at both games and the highlights of the second leg were a joke.

That game is the one I always think of.

I am as sure as I can be 30 years on, we were 3-0 down at half time and I thought to myself we need to score every 10 minutes to win it.

We did get a late winner and it was bedlam.

I tend too think half the crowd would have gone home of it happened today.

It's funny though as I don't look at us repeating it when we are losing late, but always think of conceding 3 goals in 8 minutes v Gillingham when we are winning late.

Strange how football affects you!

I don't think we were 3-0 down, but we were definitely well behind in the 2nd half. Don't mention Gillingham, its on youtube if you really want to re-live it 😫

Yes our keeper was McIlhargey, I too can’t remember why he went off but Eyresy did a Stirling job keeping it to 3

I was at that - Aldridge was giving it to the South Paddock - and we didn't half give it back - proper banter 👍
 
Not sure I've ever seen anyone hit a volley harder than I saw Gow do.

Also thanks lads, the game I was on about was Walsall.

Gre comeback,brought back loads of memories, we had some great do or die players. o/t, after the video I followed a link to our first game in the prem on Gillette soccer Saturday, talk about emotion, wow 🤩 goosebumps, definitely had some dust in my eyes at the end. Brilliant quotes from Olly, unbelievable Jeff, used to love that show back in the day

I remember the conga well . . .

A few years ago a few of us went to a Clarke Carlisle book signing and Q&A in Edinburgh. Somebody asked him what his favourite / most memorable career game was and his answer - not a play off final or PL game but Wrexham away!!

That was my mates fault! 3-0 up 10 minutes to go and he says "isnt it nice to be able to just sit back and enjoy a game knowing you've won!" 😡
Trust me I have never let him forget it! 😂
