Blackpool s first top flight campaign for 40 years will live long in the memory as Holloway s heroes so nearly defied the odds in the battle for survival. Manchester United may have won the Premier League, but in 2010/11 Blackpool were the people s champions. A cruel finale saw the Seasiders slip into the relegation zone, but they went down with the whole nation willing them to survive. The opening day 4-0 thrashing of Wigan quickly poured scorn on all those who had written them off before the season began. The team s entertaining and free-flowing football brought them an unforgettable double over Liverpool, and a handsome 3-1 victory over Spurs who had just turned over AC Milan. Captain fantastic, Charlie Adam, was nominated for PFA Player of the Year, while the likes of David Vaughan, Ian Evatt, Gary Taylor-Fletcher and DJ Campbell proved to be Tangerine titans who were well worthy of their place in the Premier League. This is the complete record of an historic, heroic campaign featuring all the goals, all the games and exclusive interviews.
