On this day (May 28) nine years ago, the Seasiders claimed a 2-1 victory over Exeter City at Wembley to secure promotion back to the third tier just 12 months on from being relegated.
Brad Potts and Mark Cullen were both on the scoresheet for Gary Bowyer’s side – who battled hard throughout the season despite off-field issues for the club.
Just over 5,000 Blackpool fans made the trip to the national stadium due to the game coming in a period of boycott, which continued until the 2019 takeover.
Here’s where the 2017 play-off winning squad are now:
