The retired midfielder played an influential role in helping the Seasiders to the Premier League via the play-offs back in 2010, and remains a fans favourite at the club.
Adam wasn’t the only member of the Championship promotion winning team at the match against the Cod Army this week, with Brett Ormerod in attendance as part of the BBC Radio Lancashire commentary team. Along with Adam, the ex-forward was on the scoresheet in the famous 3-2 victory over Cardiff City, along with Gary Taylor-Fletcher.
A number of the players who started at Wembley have taken different routes in their careers since.
