CJ Hamilton bagged a late goal to give Blackpool a 1-0 victory over Burton Albion.

Ian Evatt states Blackpool’s 1-0 victory over Burton Albion represented everything he loves about the club.

As the club celebrated the recent anniversary of 2019’s homecoming fixture, Bloomfield Road welcomed a sold out home section.

The nature of the occasion and the support of the fans inspired the Seasiders to a late winner through CJ Hamilton, securing a vital three points in the battle at the bottom of League One.

After the match, Evatt was joined by a couple of his former teammates, while Charlton Athletic’s Sonny Carey was also among the former Blackpool players in attendance, as the Fylde Coast outfit enjoyed a special day.

“It’s what I expected because it’s what I know and what I’m used to,” the head coach said.

“It’s what I love - seeing it come together like that. If we could’ve scripted it, then it’s the best way to win. That feeling of a last minute goal, there’s nothing like it.

“When you love a football club you work for, it makes it all the more special.

“I’ve been sitting in my office with Crains (Stephen Crainey), Dobbs (Stephen Dobbie) and Thommo (Steve Thompson), big Ben (Burgess) has been down and Chaz (Charlie Adam) is in there - it’s just everything we love about this club.

“This club is special to us all. When you create memories like a last-minute winner then it’s great for everyone to enjoy it.”
