That’s the class of the average football supporter for you. Blackpool are no different.Bastard Nobbers still sing about it.
There was a friendly against Celtic as a fundraiser for the families iirc
I seem to remember the friendly being against Liverpool, remember also Ken walmsley refereed the game, used to see him all the time in the clubs and pubs of cleveleys he went on to make the back and front page headlines a couple of years later for sending off Ian rush !!Bastard Nobbers still sing about it.

I remember it as an 'all stars' v Blackpool match. It may have been Celtic v an 'all stars' Blackpool team. I went and enjoyed it. I was in the scratching shed keeping a close eye on Danny McGrain being brilliant.Bastard Nobbers still sing about it.

I remember that too.Lets not kid ourselves here; I recall the South Paddock singing about this incident shortly thereafter....
Very brave Police officers; nowadays H&S would probably deter them from trying to instigate a rescue.
RIP.
