After claiming a 2-1 victory at Boundary Park in the first leg, goals from Keith Southern, Andrew Morrell and Keigan Parker were on the scoresheet in a 3-1 win at Bloomfield Road to progress to Wembley.
A number of players in that team would go on to represent Blackpool in the Premier League a few years later, while others would depart soon after.
