Speaking to BBC Radio Five Live’s 'That Peter Crouch Podcast', the Duke of Cambridge looked back on his visit to the Fylde coast in November 2010, when he watched Pool’s 2-1 win against Wolves from the hospitality section.

During the podcast, a message was read out by a man named Patrick who claimed he once met Prince William and his RAF friends in the Bloomfield Road toilets during the half-time break.

"Well I can't vouch for me eyeing someone up in the loo, it sounds really quite awkward,” the Duke replied.

“But yes, I was at a Blackpool game on a stag do. I wasn't in fancy dress - it wasn't my stag do. We had a good day."

Then Blackpool manager Ian Holloway even came out to chat with William’s group.

"I was like, 'why aren't you doing a team talk and instead you're talking to a stag do',” the Duke added.

“He was like 'no point doing a frickin' team talk, they're not listening anyway'."

He added: "It was a good game and we went in the theme park in the afternoon, which, after you've had a few beers on a stag do, is not pretty."

Luke Varney and Marlon Harewood scored the all-important goals for Blackpool to take Holloway’s men up to 11th position in the Premier League table.
