A local lad from Huyton always came running with a ball at his feet training past my girlfriend house who became my wife .... never realised I would be watching him at Goodison a few years later ......

Deffo should’ve had a longer more fulfilling career.

Sir Stan one of the reasons Westy went to the seaside as he was a big Blackpool fan as a youngster though from Barnsley. A Tangerine Tyke if you will

Fred Finally discusses terms with Chairman John Moore's his way out of the blues with a fantastic scoring record - his knee injury put him out of favour with the Catt - He went to Notts Forest then Blackpool - cue @TangerineToffee -

Don't think Pick is best pleased at the news. Moore probable didn't help matters by saying don't worry Fred we'll call you a taxi! He went on to score lots for Birmingham, not Florists, though I'm sure they would have loved to have him. Of course his career highlight was a few years down the road on an April night in Preston. Yet another hat trick sending Pool up to the first division and them down to the third lol

Nice find. Lucky ground GP would prove to be for the Tangerines. Through to another FA Cup final and sadly another defeat. But our time was coming and 2 years later the Cup was lifted.

The chances of a load of second division bums beating us at Wembley in 1953 were absolute zero. Probably less than that to be fair lol

Hickson & John Willie Parker - soon to move back into the first division - no one would have given Mr White shorts that room ..... lol

They would have tried but it would have been in vain. By the time they tried to figure out how to stop the legendary tangerine wizard he'd have flown down the wing, or maybe cut inside, and before you know it in no time you were 4-0 down. Again lol
