Bloomfield Road legend loses cancer battle
Blackpool are mourning the death of their 1953 FA Cup final hero Bill Perry.
The Bloomfield Road legend is most fondly remembered by the Blackpool faithful for netting the winning goal in their 4-3 Wembley victory over Bolton.
Perry, who made 394 appearances for Blackpool, died on Thursday at the age of 77 after a battle against cancer.
The South African-born England international scored 119 goals for Blackpool in his 13 years with the club.
A Blackpool club statement said: "He is a true club legend and he will be sadly missed by everyone."
