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:
