A ticket for only £10 and including a free hot pot supper, this must be the bargain of the century. A great opportunity to meet lots of Blackpool legends from 50 years ago and celebrate the first and only time Blackpool have won a European competition Trophy in their whole history. I am really looking forward to seeing three of my favourite players from that era — Tommy Hutch, Micky Burns and Tony Green and all 3 of them plus Glyn James are BFC Hall of Famers from the 1960s & 1970s.

According to the Tournament programme for 1973 there was only ever 1 attendance of 40,000 or more at an Anglo Italian match and that was for the Roma v Blackpool Final in 1972, the record attendance prior to this Final was 34,000 for a Group match in Italy. Wikipedia and other sources confirm an attendance of 26,000 for the Bologna v Blackpool final in 1971
