Host Carl Jones is joined by writer and producer Chris Taylor and Nathan Fogg, author of the fantastic How Not To Run A Football Club to continue the countdown of the all-time Premier League table with Blackpool in 48th place.
We start with Blackpool's rich heritage as the football club that saw Matthews, Mortensen and Armfield grace Bloomfield Road find themselves in the lower reaches of English football for most of the late 20th century before a spectacular rise led by Ian Holloway sees them take their place in the top flight again via the playoffs.
We cover that glorious day at Wembley, the season in the sun where Blackpool lit up the Premier League and the subsequent tumble back down the divisions. There is, of course, a darker side to Blackpool's tale as a fanbase revolted against an ownership that very nearly drove the club out of business, and all while launching costly legal battles against unsuspecting and often wholly innocent members of their fanbase. Chris and Nathan were just two of the fans swept up in that ordeal and their stories have to be heard to be believed.
We'll also put a Premier League Blackpool XI into the archives, there's a very impressive Play Your Apps Right performance from one of our guests and the lads answer the question that's been on everyone's lips: who is the Premier League's greatest Beninese player of all-time?
