Does anyone know when the Blackpool legend last played at the Turf?

There is another Matthews thread that might help.

1961 at a guess when as on the other thread Potts told Elder to man mark him so Stan took Alex all over the Turf leaving the right wing without a full back which Pool exploited and won the game. As bad a game plan as ours last Saturday continuing to lump balls up to Sam when he was being out jumped by the two centre backs.
But probably our best two managers I have seen, maybe Alan Brown was as good
