Blackpool Football Club are an English football club founded in 1887 and located in the Lancashire seaside resort of Blackpool. They currently play in The Championship, the second tier of professional football in England, after winning the 2006-07 League One Play-Off Final. The club's home ground is Bloomfield Road, and their nicknames include The 'Pool, The Seasiders and The Tangerines, the latter stemming from their home colour. They have a fierce rivalry with local arch-enemy Preston North End, and any league meeting between the two clubs is known as the West Lancashire derby.
Blackpool's most famous achievement is winning the 1953 FA Cup Final, the so-called "Matthews Final", in which they beat Bolton Wanderers 4-3, overturning a 1-3 deficit in the closing stages of the game.
During that post-war period, Blackpool made three Wembley appearances in six years and came close to winning the League Championship on several occasions. They also supplied the national teams with many players, notably for England in 1953 when four Blackpool men lined up at Wembley, causing the Daily Mirror to declare that "Blackpool F.C. are playing Hungary today", though it became a day that English football fans would want to forget.
In 1982-83, Blackpool endured the worst season in their history, finishing four places from the bottom of the entire Football League, and were only saved from relegation to the Alliance Premier League (now the Conference) because the re-election system voted in their favour. Twelve years earlier, the club was playing in English football's top flight.
