Graysons Greatest Hits

Winners!
By Mike Smith
December 23 2008
Whilst columnist MR X maybe slagging off Simon Grayson following his departure to Leeds United we decided to take a look at Simon Grayson's Greatest hits. From a 5-2 win over Scunthorpe to Promotion, Grayson was one of the best managers we've ever had.


Blackpool 5 Scunthorpe 2.

Simon Grayson had been appointed manager of Blackpool following the departure of Colin Hendry. Then live in front of the Skysports cameras his side went onto destroy promotion chasing Scunthorpe 5-2. The goals came from John Murphy X2, Ian Morris X2 and Rob Edwards. The win against ten man Scunthorpe got Blackpool fans dreaming and Ian Morris's goal was a contender for goal of the season.


Swansea 3 Blackpool 6

A crowd of just under 20,000 saw on of the best games of football ever recorded between these two sides. The game, which was part of the famous perfect 10 run, saw Blackpool win 6-3. Four goal thunder from Andy Morrell and a Keigan Parker double saw the Swans sank at the Liberty stadium. The game is still seen as one of the highlights of Simon Grayson's reign.

 

Blackpool 2 Yeovil 0

Wembley winners we were crowned after the Perfect 10 was complete. Robbie Williams scored a legendary free-kick to entertain the 35,000 strong seasiders support whilst Keigan Parker second half smasher won the game for us. Grayson had masterminded his team to the championship and won his first trophy as a manager. The League 1 Play Offs.

 

Liectester 0 Blackpool 1

Blackpool are back, Blackpool are back rang out at the Walkers Stadium. Simon Grayson's first game as a manager in the championship was against a former side he loved. But that didn't stop him mastermiding a 1-0 win over Liecester at the Walkers stadium in which Kieth Southern scored the winner.

Preston 0 Blackpool 1

It was glorious! The first time the two sides had met in nearly a decade and Simon Grayson's men marched out the victors thanks to a Wes Hoolahan penalty. This game will go down in seasiders folklore and many praise Graysons tactics in the day for making us unstoppable against the old enemy from next door.

Blackpool 3 Burnley 0

Gorkss, Burgess and Jorgenson sent the 1,800 Dingles crying home thirty minutes early last season. The game which was a complete sell out was the highlight of a four game unbeaten run and is another very special moment that Blackpool fans will remember forever.

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD TIMES AND GOOD LUCK AND GOODBYE MR GRAYSON

Re: Graysons Greatest Hits
lets face it even though grayson has left you guys for leeds

the next manager will still do a good job - i expect you to stay in the championship for years and who knows maybe a push for promotion to the premiership

stranger things have happened eg wigan in the premiership

you've got more chance of getting to the premiership first than my beloved leeds utd smiling smiley

goodluck blackpool

Re: Graysons Greatest Hits
It stinks of bullshizzle in here ffs. How were you unstoppable at Deepdale ?? We missed about 3-4 one on ones, had an absolute nailed on penalty turned down(for which the ref apologised for straight away) and hit the bar in the last minute. You got a penalty on a rare breakaway and put it away and the game will go down in lasher folklore hahahaha, what a joke you lot are. I prefer this seasons game where we p1ssed all over you and you were flattered to lose 3-1 !!!
