Kenny Dougall was on hand with a brace for the Seasiders, as they enjoyed success in the League One play-off final.
This proved to be the club’s most recent promotion to date, with their attempts to return to the second tier proving unsuccessful on the back of relegation in 2023.
Only one player from that squad now remains at Bloomfield Road, but the contributions of some of the others still remain at the forefront of people’s minds.
Here’s where the team that beat Lincoln are now:
1. Neil Critchley
Neil Critchley was the last Blackpool manager to win promotion at Bloomfield Road, but wasn't able to replicate that success after returning to the club for a second stint in 2023. Since his Seasiders sacking, he's been in charge of Hearts and is now an assistant to Gary O'Neil at Strasbourg. Photo: Catherine Ivill
2. Chris Maxwell
Chris Maxwell, who made 114 appearances during his time with Blackpool, ended his career with Huddersfield Town last year, after being forced to retire due to injury. He has since gone on to be head of football operations for recruitment and advisory firm Bromby and Partners. Photo: Catherine Ivill
