Here's another Blackpool repaint, where the player definitely falls into the legend category.
As in proper legend, not the modern complete mis/overuse of it. I genuinely got described as a legend in Aldi the other day for packing my shopping away quickly. But I guess that isn't really important to this post.
Stan Mortensen rightly has a place in Blackpool folklore, and in the history of the English game. He scored 23 times in just 25 games for England, and played so well to score a hat trick in the 1953 FA Cup Final that it's now widely known as "The Matthews Final"!
Anyway, this is another case of a simple old style kit ending up looking really effective.
As a lookalike figure was used, I also had to change the name on the base.
Puskas! =)
