The Seasiders headed into the second leg at the City Ground with a 2-1 lead under their belt from the meeting between the two teams at Bloomfield Road a few days before.
Ian Holloway’s side were able to get the job done in Nottinghamshire with a 4-3 victory, with DJ Campbell bagging a hat trick and Stephen Dobbie also on the scoresheet.
Blackpool would go on to enjoy success at Wembley against Cardiff City – coming behind twice to beat the Bluebirds 3-2, courtesy of goals from Charlie Adam, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Brett Ormerod.
Here’s a closer look at where the promotion-winning squad are now:

Stephen Dobbie enjoyed four loan stints with the Seasiders, scoring 15 goals and providing eight assists in 56 appearances. The retired striker has worked as a coach at the club for a number of years, initially with the youth team, and in more recent times under both Steve Bruce and Ian Evatt with the first-team.
