Last month saw the passing of one of the many legends to come out of Bloomfield Road Bill Perry. The South African born left winger is know for his winner in the 1953 cup final where Pool beat Bolton 4-3, coming back from being 1-3 down. Stanly Matthews crossed in injury time and Perry connected to seal victory for the Seasiders.
