So much goodwill from all for Duncan Ferguson to be a success at Forest Green. About 10 years ago I put on a football session for kids with learning disabilities in Skelmersdale. I reached out, Duncan said heโ€™d be there. I was sceptical. He came, was awesome & stayed for 3 hours.

Thanks to England & Arsenal legend Tony Adams & loan of his back garden, inspirational 12-year old Ed Simpson just completed his 23rd of 100 penalties for @braintumourrsch charity. Edโ€™s had nine brain operations in last year & raised 40k!๐Ÿ‘โšฝ๏ธ Edโ€™s story:

Six years ago today he left us too early. Most of us hope that once itโ€™s our time to shuffle off, we can still see the things and people we love from the big room in the sky. If that is the case, he will surely still be celebrating yesterdayโ€™s promotion. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ† #TangerineFamily

20-year old big Blackpool fan & roofer Billy McLoughlin got a little carried away after the Seasidersโ€™ 4-2 victory over Preston at the weekend - first getting @CharliePatino10 to autograph his leg - which then became a permanent tattoo overnight! Billy picks up the story! ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŸ โšช๏ธ

For most of us, Blackpool Football Club was a pre-arranged marriage. You donโ€™t choose Blackpool F.C. it chooses you, or more likely, it was chosen for you. I am forlorn today like everyone else but we know we are going to be backing this team & town until our final breath. ๐ŸŠ

Blackpool supporters will pay tribute today to club icon, Billy Ayre. Tomorrow is the 21st anniversary of Billyโ€™s passing, far too soon, aged 49. Football is all about connection between club & fans. Arguably, Billy connected greater than any other in our 136-year history.๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ™

Seven years ago tomorrow morning, he passed away without a sign aged 64. I donโ€™t know anyone who loved Blackpool Football Club more. Loyal, generous, kind, funny and a warrior of a man. Missed too much. The best man I have ever known. ๐Ÿงก 20th August 1950 โ€“ 31st May 2015

In February 1967, after 28 appearances for Blackpool, Emlyn Hughes joined Liverpool for ยฃ65,000. Bill Shankly was stopped by the police as he drove Hughes to Anfield for the first time. Shanks said: โ€œDon't you know who I've got in this car? The future captain of England!" ๐ŸŠ #LFC

Brilliant teenage Seasider Bethany is battling a rare brain tumour. Thank you @BlackpoolFC & the manager for sorting this shirt ahead of tonightโ€™s game. Bethany has a couple of important fixtures at hospital tomorrow & next month. Iโ€™d love it if you could send her your wishes.๐Ÿงก

Such sad news. A kind, special, big-hearted member of #TangerineFamily Paul Bradley, 84, supporting Pool since 1940โ€™s, has passed away. Paulโ€™s favourite players were Morty & Tony Green. He watched recent Oxford away game & said it was best ๐ŸŠteam in 20 yrs. RIP gentle Sir. ๐Ÿงก

What a class act our manager is. I sent him a โ€˜good luckโ€™ text on the morning of the countryโ€™s biggest game of football in 55 years and he replied to someone he really didnโ€™t need to. An exceptional man leading our nationโ€™s team. โค๏ธ ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ #ENG #ITAENG #EURO2020 #Euro2020Final

Exactly 60 years ago. Winter 1963. Blackpool goalkeeper Tony Waiters and Seasiders full back & England captain Jimmy Armfield ice skate on a frozen Bloomfield Road pitch during the big freeze which caused postponements for several months.ย ๐ŸŸ โšช๏ธ

Something special about seeing happiness on the faces of football fans. 11,000 Robinsโ€™ fans must have been tingling with the noise around the County Ground today. A big day for #STFC for many reasons & they enjoyed a five star performance. Just a couple of clips from my phone.

This good man - Funeral Director and @BlackpoolFC Announcer for 30 years - left us, too soon, five years ago today. He loved people, laughter, the game, his football club, his town, Bloomfield Road and being around Seasidersโ€™ fans. Not forgotten today, or any time soon.

Last Saturday ahead of Blackpool v Barnsley, I saw Jordan Rhodes notice a large number of young Blackpool fans looking for autographs. Not only did he spend the best part of 30 minutes signing every one but he chatted, smiled & engaged with every kid. A great example & pro.๐Ÿ‘ ๐ŸŠ

No surprise that 3,500 Sunderland fans have travelled to Blackpool on New Yearโ€™s Day and sold out their full East Stand away allocation. Probably could have sold twice as many. 300-mile round trip. Safe trip home Mackems. ๐Ÿ‘ #SAFC #HawayTheLads

Three years ago today we lost this great man, too soon! One in a million. Pure gold. The most generous, fun, giving, daft & positive person you could have as your dad or friend. Loved his town, his football club, his vocation & community. Never to be replaced, always remembered.
