When Blackpool won the 2010 Championship Play-Off Final to clinch promotion to the Premier League, they secured a return to the
top-flight of English football for the first time in almost forty years.

I was fortunate enough to be present at Wembley to witness the occasion, just as I was forty years earlier when Blackpool last reached the 'old' Division One.
In the intervening years, I have been present on many more big occasions, involving Blackpool and the other sides who I have followed at one time or another - Liverpool, Glasgow Rangers, Stafford Rangers and Tranmere Rovers - and this volume celebrates those special occasions, days that made me feel Glad All Over.
