The Seasiders headed into the second leg at Bloomfield Road with things already in their favour, after already claiming a 2-1 win at Boundary Park.
Goals from Keith Southern, Andy Morrell and Keigan Parker helped to put the contest beyond all doubt to send Simon Grayson’s side to Wembley.
In the final later that month, the latter of the three scorers from the Oldham game was on target once again, alongside Robbie Williams, as Blackpool headed to the Championship with a 2-0 victory against Yeovil Town.
Some of the players that featured that day would also enjoy success in the same ground a few years later, when an even bigger prize was at the end of the line – in the shape of the Premier League promotion.
Here’s a look at where the team that took on Oldham in the second leg in 2007 are now:
